firmly convinced that the ideal American mayor is a genial transit nerd
The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.
So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

Minnesotans: support and proud of the family that owns the Brasa restaurants. Standing with their immigrant workers when they’re under attack = lifetime loyalty from me! ⬇️

This is absolutely my favorite way to cook, particularly when it's odd extras from something I already made.
That feeds into lesson three:
Make it a puzzle.
If your brain works like mine, you work better with constraints and making a game of it.
Do you like Chopped? Do that at home. Grab something at random that seems good (or is about to go bad, maybe). And from there, think, "What can I do with this?"

The truth is, this country is full of Tim Walzes. FULL OF. I am married to one. So are a lot of my friends... just, fundamentally kind, decent, wholesome, wife guys who need a weekly trip to Home Depot just because... always hands on dads, helpful, gentle, sweet. Not "alphas" aka divorce-worthy.
