It was great. I’m looking forward to trying it with long pepper and beef short ribs.

My take on Chef Feltman’s recipe. I had to substitute country pork ribs as there were no beef ribs. More in alt txt

Pork ribs with citrus glaze on a bed of sautéed greens with a side of the braising vegetables. Photo and food prepared by Robert Emond.

Changes to Chef Feltman’s recipe. Served on sautéed greens with garlic and Parmesan.

Pictures of some of the steps in making pork ribs with citrus glaze. Top is the finished glaze, next crushed pepper in a mortar, then the mirepoix cooking in the dutch oven, final pic is the pork ribs in the braise liquid in the dutch oven. Photo by Robert Emond.

Changes to Chef Feltman’s recipe. I substituted regular pepper for long pepper as I didn’t have any. Pork country style ribs for beef short ribs. The mirepoix was chopped in a food processor instead of knife.

It's funny how the title of the same movie is different in France versus the US

C'est drôle comme le titre du même film est différent en France et aux États-Unis

My old : Marvin Hamlisch & Edward Kleban : A Chorus Line

The #design of the album great ✔️
The music great ✔️
Hugely important to my life ✔️

I saw it as a kid who was already a child actor (mostly stage but some TV).Seeing this really drove home the business & made me realize I didn’t love it enough.

Great design. I would definitely give that a listen.

Robert E. (He/him) @robertemond.bsky.social · 20h

A++. For me it’s the makeup that gives the extra + and the veil is the cherry on top. I assume it’s the Met Gala which IMO makes it more impressive since too many looks move into costume at that event.

Art by Corinna of a crow gazing to the left, while perched in some curved tree branches. The drawing is sketched in black ink on a white background, with swirls of purple & green. It’s drawn in her own expressive style, slightly abstract & whimsical, where imagination & reality intertwine. 2025.
