Halloween is one of the greatest opportunity for retail businesses to market themselves to local customers. Trick-or-treat brings potential customers to your door. Parents remember the curmudgeon “no candy” shops.

Food Notes: 10/28 Frittata, broccoli rabe, giant zucchini, giant pumpkins, regular-sized hot dogs and more

In this week's Food Notes, we make a frittata from leftover broccoli rabe, and look at when Americans started eating this Italian omelette.

There is a ferry that connects two sides of Lake Wisconsin and there are live cams that you can watch to see it coming and going.

There is something really surreal receiving a marketing email from book publicists when they are quoting you back to you to market an author's next book.

Red Sauce: How Italian Food Became American Understanding red sauce means understanding the immigrant story. Italian-American food tells a tale of adaptation, resilience, cultural pride

Had a great chat with Wendy Holloway at Flavor of Italy podcast, where we talked about tomatoes, Italian American food, and traveling to Italy.

This is what the Blue Wave will look like if Democrats don't drop @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov

It should be a federal crime to update software on launch.

Red Sauce America Red Sauce America is an online publication celebrating Italian American food and culture with interviews, essays, and reviews. Our channel features ASMR videos of various tomato sauces bubbling on the...

Tonight I added my 50th and 51st video on the @redsauceamerica.bsky.social YouTube account, which I just realized is 5 years old.

Anyway, if you like ASMR videos of tomato sauce boiling, that's 25+ minutes of boiling tomato sauce. It's like a Yule Log for ragù.

Generally I think kindergarten is too early for kids to be assessed for actual G&T but also how are there kids in PreK who don’t know their last name?

What I really want from a mayor is someone who will force the NYPL, QPL, and BPL to accept each other's book returns.

The most unrealistic part of Popcorn by Frank Asch is not the house filling up with popcorn, but the parents waking up a sleeping child at the end.

It's everyone's duty to rate Google's AI answers good if they answers are bad, and bad if the answers are good, to destroy the AI model they are using with misinformation.

I’ve been to Maine. Nazi tattoos might not hurt his chances with the electorate.

Canva being down interrupting your workflow? Next time hire a designer with creative cloud.

Is this a How It Started / How It’s going or a FAFO situation.

This is going to be great.

Sliwa is going outperform Cuomo.

It’s too bad Chuck’s predecessor created an expiration date when the subsidies were created.

Oh wait, that was him.

Glad we’re sorting this out months before the marketplace opens.

Oh, wait that’s next month.

Too bad Chuck’s predecessor didn’t include a public option in the ACA

Oh, wait…

Can you imagine if @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social had shut government down BEFORE republicans took away health subsidies? Like why did these bozos wait until the subsidies were taken away?

Historically speaking, it was a sandwich that was designed to be cheaper by having less beef and more jus to make up for the lack of flavor.

Bake off is at its best with between 7 and 5 contestants when there is still a lot of possibility as to who will win but the class is small enough to not be overwhelmed by how many people are cooking.

The real OGs remembers the Snapple sodas like clear cola and root beer.

In fairness, I would absolutely believe that Queens has a 40-3t St.

You say rich people will move out of NYC if Mamdani wins? I say, when’s the open house?

Absolutely. I would also accept them participating in the marching band with a Sousaphone / marching Tuba.

Make a parade for every single school holiday. Diwali! Multiple Eid parades! Election Day! Make them really feel the impact of closing the schools on days where bosses are like, huh? No that's not a day off for you, workers. (In reality i do want a May Day parade now that you mention it.)

School holidays should require a parade in each borough featuring:

- closure of major thoroughfare
- at least one school marching band
- attendance of chancellor and deputy chancellors
- Include bagpipers

Bill Clinton claiming he didn't inhale and Zohran Mamdani giggling while explaining he bought marijuana at a legal cannabis shop explains everything about the generational conflict within the Democratic party.
