I requested an advance copy after you shared it awhile back and it was great - I shared it with a few friends. While they didn’t grow up on LI like I did, that is not a pre-requisite to enjoying it!

Did this with savoy cabbage because that it what I bought this week and it was a fine substitution! Between this and the kimchi I had with lunch, it has been a cabbage-filled day and I’m not complaining.

Braised Red Cabbage with Apple and Onion

Braised cabbage with apples is an easy side dish that comes together in 25 minutes and pairs well with roasted pork or turkey.

Dude is going to end up with Raleigh’s autograph on that t-shirt too once Cal sees this. Please don’t let him be a milkshake duck, we need nice things.

A gentleman with a "Dump Here 61" shirt caught the Raleigh home run (on a bounce.)

I love that Jason Mendoza lives on through social media posts whenever the Jags do something amazing.

I hope Giorgiev finds a good home!

This calls for one of my favorite Gilmore Girls town meeting moments.

In looking at some Mets memorabilia, my son asked my husband “is that you?” when he held up a David Wright baseball card. I have to think that is the highest “out of the mouths of babes” compliment one can receive?

I’m a TS agnostic, but XTC would like a word.

Cover of XTC album NONSVCH - a sketch of Nonsuch Palace in yellow on a red background that is a pain on the eyes but a very good album.

Ironically, 1989 was the hardest album to let go of when I stopped listening to his music (don’t judge!).

Same! Although I am reflecting on the “slow reward” part and thinking about how when I listen to audiobooks, I do it at 1.3x speed. I want to capitalize on every minute I have to read which is not the point of reading for enjoyment, I know!

Seeing the 100th anniversary on the ice for the #NYR is a trip, because my husband and I went to soooo many games during their 85th season and that seems like just yesterday, but that is not the number on the ice anymore.

Wow, I’m sure even Sondheim could never have imagined such success!

I was hooked on Mad Men from day one because I caught a commercial for it during a Godfather-in-chronological-order showing on AMC during my Godfather phase. I assume we all had a Godfather phase, yes?

Cindie Pal Boo 👻 @cindiepalcru.bsky.social · 7d

We are doing a full rewatch of Mad Men for the first time in…years? ever? As good as I remember, and I have a new appreciation for January Jones.

Love this from Phee - have to root against her on the court but a big fan when she isn’t playing my team.

Daniel Thompson @dr-thompson.bsky.social · 8d

Listen and decide for yourself. But I have to commend Phee for using her platform to call out abusive, manipulative, and dismissive tactics from the WNBA. (Part 2/2) #WNBASky

I took today off just to work on my dissertation. I feel like I’m firing on all cylinders (the nitro coffee is helping); I didn’t realize how much my work is compromised when I try to cram in an hour in between working, momming, homemakering, and crashing at bedtime.

I am a big history buff and I had enough to see but would have loved to have gone into the SUNY building, for example!

I am not a well-seasoned traveler but I am lucky enough to say I don’t have a “worst”! I wish more things were open on a weekend in Albany but that is a mild criticism at best.

Maybe:…… @getthebagcoach.bsky.social · 9d

What’s the worst city you’ve visited?

I’ll never go back to Myrtle Beach SC if somebody paid me

I chose self-care and went to the beach on this oddly beautiful day instead. I still remember what I was doing when they got eliminated in ‘07 and ‘08, and I didn’t feel like doing that again.

I’m not ready to relive the trauma of the 2007 and 2008 Mets all over again tomorrow, I’m just not ready.

I was “last name, baby girl” in the hospital for 3 days because my parents couldn‘t land on a name but they were not given the option, nor were they going to take it, to rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars in hospital bills 🫠. They picked a name that they both ended up loving, although I don’t!

My husband quoted a Maniscalco joke while we were out today and I got to share this story with him – I’m fun at parties.

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on.

My son looked slightlyyyy pale at bedtime tonight and the panic in my voice when I asked “are you feeling okay?!“ was palpable.

My first thought reading this was “Ken Jennings defended Bean Dad, though”, immediately followed by how I wish I didn’t know what those words meant.

Definitely saw this and thought it was the thing @bencollins.bsky.social alluded to yesterday!
