I’ve always liked using mise-en-place for baking, but it’s become a requirement for this old brain of mine. Same amount of time, smoother procedure, and more space to appreciate what’s special about the recipe

I would like to request a series in which she & January Jones just tell wild real (or “real”) stories the whole time
kate beckinsale is a rare shining example of "why are you like this (complimentary)"
Kate Beckinsale claims her daughter's boyfriend has laid two eggs: 'It’s a little bit gross'
In a truly unbelievable 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' interview, Kate Beckinsale claimed that her daughter's boyfriend has laid two eggs — and had pictures to prove it: 'What in the world?'

One of my all-time favorites! A wonderful family story, my introduction to selkie stiries, and a showcase for outstanding knitwear
The Secret of Roan Inish (1994). Why did John Sayles not direct all the movies? He’s one of the great humanitarian directors who can move you without resort to sentimentality. This Irish fable is such a beautiful piece of work with Haskel Wexler plainly enjoying the light and colour of Ireland.

I know there is a lot to doomscroll right now, but you need to plan some sort of offline activity and go do it.
Walking outside, going to a museum, cleaning your home, taking a nap, cooking some food, buying your favorite pastry; lots of options.
It'll feel better than more time on your phone.

It didn’t go far enough. It never went far enough.
Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

This kind of state violence requires people who don’t just lack morals, but who relish and delight in their thuggish policing. It cannot go unanswered.

It's not unlike saying that if Black people were told to produce their papers in the pre-Civil War era and those papers demonstrated that they were free citizens, they were promptly released.
Kavanaugh recently suggested immigration stops are no big deal if you're a legal resident bc ICE just promptly releases you
That is not, in fact, what ICE does
He invents a fiction bc the reality of the policies he supports is too disturbing for him to imagine

Brett Kavanaugh’s Racial Profiling Opinion Is Looking Sillier By the Day
Kavanaugh said that immigration agents “promptly” release people after determining that they are legal U.S. residents. They don’t.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.
Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”
This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)
