actually this is...Anita Loos/ SJ Perelman/ early New Yorker, which was already in the 1920s a parody.
"'Darling,'" I said, "'Darling,' he was napalming the children you know, limbs dropping off everywhere, quite awful, but you know how it is...."
See: A good day for banana fish is the apex.
"'Darling,'" I said, "'Darling,' he was napalming the children you know, limbs dropping off everywhere, quite awful, but you know how it is. "'Darling.' I said. "'Darling what DO you want for dinner?' And can you believe he said pasta? When I've just started gluten free!?"

Kristin is the best, and Clancey's is a delight. Pro tip: the fancy French butter makes a great hostess gift.
Head to 38th and Grand, get a sandwich, and see for yourself!

this is going to be a hard point to make bc it's subtle, but...
this might be the definitive food-cancer link everyone's been looking for for centuries.
How does good food prevent cancer? It simply stops tumors from ever beginning. Eat some fruits & veg, friends!

This was a deep profile that got a news headline online... anyway March 22 is the last day, and I hear they're all but sold out today. I guess I'm doing a double disservice to a long profile by putting this on it. Alas! One of the greatest of all time.

thank you! we really need to love up the people who are here with us! I've seen so many places close and the community saying: If only I'd known! Everyone is hurting in this kind-of-not-really-post-ICE mess, if you love a restaurant, go!

best I've had is in apple valley, at Bodega 42, they sell big party-ones, as well as individual servings.

Quietly working, decade after decade, to connect Minnesota farms with urban folk in the Twin Citiesβmeet one of the most interesting food folk in America, because this is what steadfast community service without notice looks like in practice:

ideally, I'd get something that we pay Silicon Valley to use in the middle of my work, to introduce a lot of errors, I just feel like it would add a level of career-ending jeopardy at all times that would just jazz up my days!

I saw Tracy Ifeachor in something and my first thought was: Thank God she started a new career being an ER doctor was really dangerous to her health [in the Pitt] itβs really hard to walk away from something like thatβ¦ when i finally recalled sheβs actually an actor!
