Dual class 🇺🇸/🇮🇹 (siciliana, e imparando italiano). I’m a mushroom forager, parent to two very cool kids, silken windhound owner, and food obsessive; be ready for me to be annoying about all the above. PNW now, CA before, PNW before that. She/her
I always keep schmaltz around in the fridge because it is OUTSTANDING. Frankly I think it’s equally tasty to duck fat!

It would be effective for arancine fodder but with just me at home I think I have to admit it’s not tremendously sensible lol

Maybe tomorrow I'll do a costco run and get a rotisserie chicken and then spend too many hours making my own perfect homemade fries. Not arancine though, no way I'm gonna make risotto from scratch just to fry a few rice balls. I'm not even sure I could emulate proper rosticceria arancine if I tried

I love showing these to my students when they’re growing with non-parasitized specimens!

oh so when rfk jr has a worm in his brain it's "bad" but when dax has a slug in her she's "the most beautiful person i've literally ever seen in my life" and "early queer representation in television"

I have to be very honest as an Italian person that she would, regretfully, fit right in

That’s a solid idea but I am already smoking a bunch of turkey legs for Thanksgiving proper, to complement our oven roasted one 😄

Don’t forget to look for porcini when you see those 😁

The corollary to that is of course one of my lawyer’s favorite sayings

Never! Put! It! In! Writing!!

And frankly, when I’ve taken the time to actually pay attention to and regularly record my dreams, what I can remember is generally Not Exactly Subtle 🫠

Just gonna check wirecutter for the best black friday deals on colposcopies and LEEP procedures, maybe there’s a discount code we can snag

If you poach with something like red wine (reduced down to get the alcohol out) I bet the color would be stunning and very thanksgiving-y. Could accent with some cranberries even

Ok ok he’s not literally OFFICIALLY, technically we have to wait for the confirmation from UKC, but I can count and I did a points check so he’s pre-officially

In celebration we had a rousing game of Tartufo, where I chase him and try and grab his tartufo (Italian slang for a dog nose, since they’re just little truffles) and he tries to play “bite” me. I even let him win this time because he earned it
