When I tell you that Chocolate Salame is #RecipeOfTheDay, don’t be alarmed! It’s just the Italian version of a chocolate refrigerator cake, fashioned to resemble salame. I’ve upped the ante with hazelnuts, pistachios, amaretti biscuits and Amaretto. www.nigella.com/recipes/choc...

You've never had grilled cheese until it's been wrapped in bacon.
Reading this sounds delicious, but then I got to the last sentence and the taste buds on my tongue exploded out of my mouth.
So, hear me out:
A wholegrain wrap, very lightly smeared with some olive oil and tomato paste.
Add fresh mozzarella and a bit of gruyere, some torn basil leaves, a little bit of prosciutto, a good grind of black pepper.
Then wrap in streaky bacon and bake for 30 minutes.

So much to process from this interview so I'm just going to hyperfocus on how Mark Mitchell and Brian Roche are very, very concerned about Andrew Coster "relitigating" things
Oops did your fall guy not understand he was meant to take ALL the blame for the systemic problems you're complicit in

a billionaire who sees undermining political sovereignty as an alternative to paying a relatively minor fine is a problem that will have to be dealt with eventually
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

Informal briefings are used to stay off the radar. If you intend anything to done by an organisation, you make it a formal briefing/communication. So even if Coster is telling the truth, he didn't want anything to happen.

Watching "Conclave".
I've been meaning to watch this for a while.
How does Ralph Fiennes do that? A little tilt of his head, an upwards glance of his eyes; everything he does conveys such multitudes without saying a word.

The guy is pretty much like Brezhnev.
He's dead, but the political ramifications of his passing means everyone keeps propping him up, declaring "long live our leader!"

I'm still very annoyed how the supermarket in the Wellington railway station closed. It really was so very convenient and, well, convenient.
The space is still unused, I think. Wonder how those economics are working out for the landlords.

What the biathlon really needs is, 15 seconds after each competitor starts, a cage containing a ravenous polar bear is opened.
Now, that'll make controlling your breathing and heart-rate interesting.
