Sometimes even your ‘Blooper Reel’, can make for a fun piece of content!

I’m working on submitting a few video pieces to different outlets and media sites. My instinct is to go polished, but it’s also fun to include something that shows how you work under pressure…

and with humor 😹

Ukraine 🇺🇦 is always in my heart, but it’s also back on the front page. Read about my family’s story & my thoughts… pick up a great bread recipe too ❤️ open.substack.com/pub/jessiesi...

Food holds our stories; fresh bread carries the warmth of memory, the comfort of home, and the connection between generations.

Tom Homan on ABC does not deny that the administration's position is they have a right to grab people off the street and deport them without a hearing

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

I’ve restarted my cocktail recipe tests and writing.

- Is it in response to these bonkers times? Maybe.

- Does it give me a sense of control to play chemist with liquor? Yup.

-Are the results delicious? Always.

In retrospect, probably a bad plan for me to time my late 40s rage-intensive entry into menopause during the first 100 days of the Trump presidency

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Literally the reason the ACA is such a weak law compared to what it was envisioned as is because of this.

We could have had universal healthcare if the Republicans rolled over the same way the Democrats are.
Remember when Republicans were in the minority back in 2009 and they famously managed to do nothing at all to confront Obama?

Me neither.

“Every cut made to our election security and foreign malign influence operations is like handing a gift on a silver platter to our foreign adversaries such as Russia, China and Iran."
Trump is gutting efforts to combat foreign election Interference
The administration is undercutting the agency charged with preventing foreign actors from meddling in US elections.

I don’t know about you, but in my day, we were taught that exchanging money for people with other countries was called human trafficking.

Made a beautiful mess of a pavlova today on Great Day Connecticut!

I put a call out for questions to my audiences on several different platforms, I’m starting to post the off-the-cuff video answers over on Instagram! The questions were amazing; some technical, some funny, and one just utterly stumped me!

I’ll be truthful, it’s been hard to focus on food and drink during these changing times. I’m slowly getting back to creating recipes and this is a comfort food classic; Roasted Chicken with Thyme ❤️

Me! We had our big TG dinner on Saturday… lots of great leftovers and pie for breakfast. Highly recommend 👍🏻
Who else is enjoying Thanksgiving leftovers and pie right now? Same great dinner minus all the family. 🥧

Shameless plug because we all need beautiful food photos to distract from the multitude of insanity out there… grab my book. Pretty food. Pretty tables. And I show you how to do it yourself.
