I really thought I’d scrambled this pumpkin pie but it came out perfect!
(Mini bourbon pecan pie purchased at the store this morning as a backup turned out to be totally delicious too)

Medium Rare does a Thanksgiving turkey fry if you bring one by. Dozens of naked raw birds are lined up on a table next to the sidewalk waiting for their turn in the sizzler. Incredible scene.
Happy turkey day, all. May your dark meat be crispy and only temporarily raise your LDL to alarming levels

Just did all my Thanksgiving cooking (by picking it up at Elle) and got to see the fantastic Women Photographers of Washington exhibit right outside, with a bonus image honoring Gael Gomez, Mount Pleasant’s sidewalk astronomer.

So @samer.is and I used up all our juju getting into barmini last week and so failed at an Albi bar slide in during T-giving week (1st bar spot at 9:45! lol). But we stopped in Chloe instead and the lamb potstickers + happy hour whiskey-ginger-lemon cocktail are worth a whole trip to Navy Yard. 🫡

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.
Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.
They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

I dumped my Prime sub and the NBA Pass on the app is terrible, so I’ve started listening to basketball games on the radio again and my god I love it so much.
It also makes me miss Chick Hearn all over again.

Lots of important news flying around today, but take a minute to read Eos's coverage of the failure to meet the Colorado River compact deadline and what that means for nearly everyone who uses water in the American West.

Says assault requires a “reasonable fear of immediate bodily harm,” and none exists given agent’s long-sleeve shirt, long pants, boots, gloves and ballistic vest that is created to “keep you safe from military rifle fire” and so is “definitely going to keep you safe from a sandwich.”

Our local government emulating the way the feds currently govern is really not going to go over well here.
It's kinda wild that in recent months the council has made significant policy changes using emergency bills, and pretty much everyone says it's not an ideal way to legislate... and then they go ahead and do it again.
