This book has been so soothing. I have probably learned more about the foreign policies that shape the world just in the first three chapters than I have in at least the last 15 years of news media. 🙃 It's helped clarify a lot of the absolutely batshit nonsense of the current timeline. COMFORT READ

Make a version of Anthony Bourdain’s famous mac & cheese. But used more cheese, less milk, and a tad more Worcestershire sauce plus a bit of soy sauce. It’s a thick roux and lots of stirring. So rich. But Theresa just said it’s the best macaroni & cheese she ever had. No joke

It shouldn’t take a slur that impacts you personally, or losing your healthcare or SNAP, or being forced to sell your farm, or having to watch a loved one get unjustly detained and deported...to walk away from a madman.
Cruelty isn’t strength.
Reject it.

Your Black Friday reminder that in 75% of U.S. industries, a smaller number of companies now control more of the business than they did twenty years ago. We must stop the monopolization of America. Shop small if you can, please.

Made the cranberry relish Sunday. So it’s really good right now. All that’s left for tomorrow is some Sichuan green beans but I think I don’t have any ya cai (pickled mustard greens) so might make the famous eggplant instead. We shall see. Now I’m gonna crash and read.

Made my house-famous fruit salad of pomegranates, pineapple, kumquats (from our yard), and juice from Myer lemons (also from our yard). That’s it. Mix well and let it sit in fridge getting better by the hour.
