All the cooked-on caramelized fat and bits after roasting chicken bones in a Pyrex container

Brown water in the Pyrex after scraping everything out

A near-clean Pyrex shows everything has been cleaned out

The biggest mistake newby cooks make versus cooks whose food you drool over is we leave no flavour behind.

A newby washes this casserole. A good cook gets every last bit of that out because it is FLAVOUR.

(Pyrex shatters with temperature extremes. Only use tap-hot water for this, not boiling.)

DEGLAZE. THAT. FOND. (I love that the golden maillard goodness on the pan is called the "fond". More like the found-ation of flavor ammirite) 🖤

Outside the Whipple building this morning:

We are training undergrads (18-22) to digitize vcr tapes, cassettes, and vinyl. We introduce phrases like "rewind" into their vocab and made diagrams of what a tape looks like from 6 angles. And we get questions like "how do I rewind a record" which is understandable but turns my bones to dust.

Again, it is interesting that a single generation was entrusted with the richest, most advanced empire the world had ever known and was just uninterested in keeping it going

/Mistaking the SCIF at Mar-a-Lago for the coat-check for a chiropractor's second wedding that is happening in the ballroom right next to the SCIF at Mar-a-Lago and briefly seeing a drowsy Donald Trump in a suit and baseball cap looking at a TV with a bunch of tweets on it. "Ope, sorry guys."

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it

we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

SCIF now stands for “Some Curtains In Front”

Thought I might inject some small amount of joy into the discourse today. Enjoy.

Counterpoint, this is the correct amount of butter (especially if it's Kerrygold, at least if you die from it you die happy) 😆

Meet the people who want to help you sell your stuff, without Facebook 'Slower than Amazon and less money than Facebook' services aim to reduce waste

This is both a brilliant idea and a great example of how the app is only 10% of a service. The ability to coordinate, and a place to store the stuff, are most of the value.

Would be a fun community project to do in other neighborhoods.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Every time I repost it, it's because I've seen posts that can lead to jail time.

Every single time I post it, someone comes out and is like 'FUCK YEAH MAKE THOSE POSTS'

And I think what a fucking wanker, to have *shitposting* being the hill to die on, not actual doing anything, just SHITPOSTING

A digital illustration of a black crowned night heron in profile looking right, with a prominent bright red eye making them look especially expectant. Standing on a rock with green river-like swirly colors behind. The drawing is framed by a simple line, and under the frame lettering reads, 'Maybe it will happen today'.

Which Way Western Man (depression from looking at phone, anxiety from failure to look at phone)

"Congress should have to vote to authorize wars" is one of those things that's overwhelmingly popular except for among the people who actually have the power to make it happen.

the whole thing is that "the rules based order" was always a fucking lie. the "rules based order" was always just "america gets to do whatever it wants, pinkie promise it'll be okay" married to the even stupider "we let authoritarians into the club because it will make them democratic Automatically"

CTA riders... if you know, you know (😆🧵)

In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.

"We gotta hold this pose, man. Norman Rockwell's gettin' his easel outta the car."

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana

(Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

It's this crazy attitude where food is delicious and restaurants are great and the people who create that food and comprise those restaurants don't exist except for our convenience. These people - who are human beings - work VERY VERY hard. And they are VERY REASONABLY terrified. It's a big story.

Got my first "stop writing about ICE in your newsletter" email, which argued that we need to focus on food and not politics. Folks: THEY ARE INTERMINGLED. You can't declare war on the beating heart of the hospitality community without changing the food culture!!

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.
