If you miss The Pitt, might I suggest Krank Berlin (or Berlin ER) on Apple TV+ as a grittier European hospital drama? It's doing a great of filling "the Pitt" sized void (or pit) in my viewing habits. Season 1 so far has great acting, tight scripts. (Not for the faint of heart tho.)

Ok, after months of procrastination, I decided to retry the meringue recipe. Separated yolk from egg perfectly for two eggs and then botched the third egg, and resigned. Such heartbreak and waste of egg!

🇨🇦 I wish more people knew that Mark Carney, the new Prime Minister of Canada, after being senior associate deputy minister in the Department of Finance under a conservative Prime Minister, was Governor of the Bank of England, dealing with Brexit and Boris Johnson.
He knew some roll 'n roll times.

In light of rising egg prices in the United States, earlier self-deprecating posts about my meringue failure egg wastage feel callous and insensitive. 😐

Pandemics do not begin with official announcements.
They start with quiet deletions, missing reports, and assurances that there is "no cause for concern."

The thing that really bugs me about WaPo losing the "Democracy dies in darkness" slogan was that it was so good!
It's up there with "In space no one can hear you scream," or "Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water" taglines.
How could you give that up? SMH.

What a weird delight to learn that in the Palermo version of the Nutcracker they have a dancing cannoli
(sorry, I know that cannoli is plural and using it for the singular is not good grammar in Italian, but if I said cannolo that wouldn’t make sense in English - languages are weird!)

Sigh. More meringue failure. Destroyed 4 eggs trying to separate yolk from white. Thoughts and prayers, please.
