Hi! I’m Jaime.

I cook, write, travel and miss Anthony Bourdain regularly.

I believe in gin cocktails, Bruce Springsteen and housemade hot sauce (Torero’s on Village has the best one)

Bleed Arsenal red and cry aqua and orange.

You should watch Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It’s so fucking good.

There needs to be a pro-wrestler whose gimmick is being a perpetually drunk Eagles fan celebrating the Superbowl and his finisher is the Soft Pretzel Sex Press.

And he looks like Jason Kelce.

I need to manifest this into existence.

Every time the subject of Jimmy Fallon’s spinelessness comes up, I think of this passage from Tina Fey’s Bossypants

66 Amy Poehler was new to SNL and we were all crowded into the seventeenth-floor writers' room, waiting for the Wednesday night read-through to start.
[...] Amy was in the middle of some such nonsense with Seth Meyers across the table, and she did something vulgar as a joke. I can't remember what it was exactly, except it was dirty and loud and
"unladylike"
Jimmy Fallon [...] turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said, "Stop that!
It's not cute! I don't like it." Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. "I don't fucking care if you like it." Jimmy was visibly startled. Amy went right back to enjoying her ridiculous bit.
With that exchange, a cosmic shift took place. Amy made it clear that she wasn't there to be cute. She wasn't there to play wives and girlfriends in the boys' scenes.
She was there to do what she wanted to do and she did not fucking care if you like it.

Tina Fey, Bossypants

The tweets following the Super Bowl halftime show are going to be so unseasoned.

I’m guessing saltier and yet, somehow more bland than the ones following Kendrick’s performance.

When I used to live in West Chester, I loved the location on Gay Street. They had an excellent veggie burger and soft pretzel.
Damn shame.

Jaime Joshi Elder @jaimejoshielder.bsky.social · 14d

No! And it’s such bullshit because this would be so good blended up with some rum!

You know, Muenster is an underrated choice when it comes to grilled cheese sandwiches.

A little Muenster, apple and hot honey? It’ll get you where you need to go.

Never had it paired with Havarti and I’ll definitely have to check that out

Spindrift makes a passion fruit, orange and guava flavor which:

1. Is fucking delicious.
2. Is a “thing.” Apparently, it’s called POG and it was created in Hawaii and oh my God, how am I in my 40s before knowing about the existence of something so good?

YES.

Letter of recommendation: Make a deep skillet of your favorite taco or burrito filling, cover it with cheese and broil the lot of it until lightly charred and gooey on top, then scoop it up with tortilla chips. Repeat as needed, which will be often.

Yeah. I’m gonna go ahead and need @shivambhatt.bsky.social to write versions of all of the Hindu epics.

Imagine your daughter's boyfriend coming to your house to marry her, and you have no idea who it is and the equivalent of the juggalo gathering is at your doorstep, and you have no idea what they are beyond the surface level.

Ugh. Getting REAL tired of West Palm Beach problems…

Jaime Joshi Elder @jaimejoshielder.bsky.social · 17d

Thank you so much for writing this. I’m really looking forward to reading the rest. I’ve been teaching my son about his heritage using the excellent books and shows Sanjay Patel created (my son is 5) but if you have any recommendations, I’d love to hear them!

I saw this! Conceptually, I love this idea but I’m also terrified that goddamn Elmo will end up purchasing this company and I can’t imagine anything worse than having a chip inside of me controlled by that fuckface or any tech bro, for that matter.

Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation.

More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

We the people must never accept government threats to our freedom of speech. Efforts by leaders to pressure artists, journalists, and companies with retaliation for their speech strike at the heart of what it means to live in a free country.

Last week, Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after the government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for freedom of speech in our nation. In an attempt to silence its critics, our government has resorted to threatening the livelihoods of journalists, talk show hosts, artists, creatives, and entertainers across the board. This runs counter to the values our nation was built upon, and our Constitution guarantees.

We know this moment is bigger than us and our industry. Teachers, government employees, law firms, researchers, universities, students and so many more are also facing direct attacks on their freedom of expression.

Regardless of our political affiliation, or whether we engage in politics or not, we all love our country. We also share the belief that our voices should never be silenced by those in power – because if it happens to one of us, it happens to all of us.

This is the moment to defend free speech across our nation. We encourage all Americans to join us, along with the ACLU, in the fight to defend and preserve our constitutionally protected rights.

A graphic listing the names of the more than 400 signers of the ACLU's letter condemning the federal government's retaliation against Jimmy Kimmel. For the full list of signatories, visit aclu.org/kimmel-letter-bk

This is NOT a drill. Aioli in West Palm Beach has Fresno chili soft pretzels! They are amazing. They only make pretzels on Saturdays. Get one. Get five.

If you don’t do PR, you should. That’s a hell of a sell!

Jaime Joshi Elder @jaimejoshielder.bsky.social · 21d

100%! Welcome - you bring the drinks and a I’ll provide the snacks.

Thank you SO MUCH for the book recommendation. I just finished A Resistance of Witches (loved it) and am looking for something new and badass to read!

Look, it’s bad enough agreeing with Piers Morgan when it comes to Arsenal but agreeing with Tucker Carlson and Turdblossom?

PLEASE STOP PUTTING CRAZY PILLS IN MY ICED LATTES.
