Bowdoin College posted this tepid “congrats” to its alumnus, Zohran Mamdani, made worse by the fact that the visual is clearly AI slop. Comments are a bonfire.

My 18 mos. old granddaughter has a new sibling who will supplant Garth, the Roomba, as the only other member of the household. She finds and greets Garth just about every time every time she enters the house.

Most nutrition influencer recipes are horrible. These cottage cheese protein bagels are not. Equal parts cottage cheese and flour, a little salt. Most recipes call for baking powder but use yeast to avoid the chemical tang. I throw in a little whole wheat and rye flour.

My homemade pizza counsel: find a dough recipe that’s simple and delicious, make your own red sauce, splurge on high quality cured meats.

This stuff is unbelievably good. 10% milkfat! Ruined for all others now.
I’ve baked with it too—coffee cakes, waffles, cornbread. Unreal.

I love this show and its one exquisite season. I grew up in exactly the same time/place and had a Lindsay-like HS classmate who was similarly brilliant, beautiful, and enigmatic. Everyone was in love with her and scared of her.

I know Costco is a running bit on bsky, but in all seriousness, my Costco lists have become super detailed. Missing something at Costco and having to buy its equivalent at even the middlebrow, local grocery can be a +30% mistake.

To cement my old hippie status: I’ve used Mollie Katzen’s corn bread recipe, as it appears in the Moosewood Cookbook, for about 35 yrs now. Long ago committed to memory, here it is. It’s cornbread season.
