In the Miami airport. Oohh… Aahhh.

My local indie theater described “Ghostwatch” as a “parody” and a “prank.” I, a horror weenie, loaded it up thinking it was a comedy 😭 😭 😭 It is…not a comedy.

Hot dog coat-of-arms, created for the 50th anniversary of the invention of the hot dog, at Coney Island in 1939. Shows a hot dog being knighted, flanked by two wiener dogs, crowned by mustard. (They took some liberties with the Latin, but do you expect a hot dog place to have an in-house Latinist?)

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

My favorite thing about the California state capitol building is that, at night, you can see Jerry Brown's "controversial" portrait inside from half a mile away

What’s the story here

Looking for a recipe in an old magazine, I instead find what must be grimmest poem ever written about Lake Tahoe.

Big plans tonight

amazing thread

everyone has always been obsessed with pygmy hippos

Another great way to ensure a calm, civil Thanksgiving is to insist that everyone discuss only one topic, ideally the Voynich manuscript. Send a reading list of 10-12 academic papers and make sure everyone is ready to discuss the major theories and present new ones. Fun for the whole family!

having exactly (1) day out of the year where every amateur chef in America attempts to cook a giant bird and not fuck it up is, honestly, a wonderful and hilarious tradition

My mom has a towel rod holder that is two lifelike hands. Came with her house. On a random Etsy search I found out an artist in Emeryville made them, they’re CASTS OF HER HANDS, and I have the opportunity to REALLY surprise Mom this Christmas…

I wrote an article once about China’s “landscape” ice cream trend, and a restaurant here in CA has a few on the menu. This one (fresh milk flavored) is shaped like the Shenyang Imperial Palace.

🪄 Tweetus deletus 🪄

I’m writing about sweet salads this week ahead of Thanksgiving. Apparently my grandmother used to make two kinds every time someone came over for dinner, and one of them was always grated carrots in orange Jell-O.

Another menu “for the boys”

This menu from the 1960’s Esquire party cookbook, for “Breakfast In a Box,” compels me

My lemon pig for luck in the New Year. (He has star anise chunks for eyes.)

A very happy New Year to you all! m.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAs...

Merry Christmas from the Winchester Mystery House’s staircase to nowhere 🤭

The classic “dog and snog”

My hardware store has a freezer filled with take and bake pies. I just watched someone buy 20 blueberry and 15 peach pies.

Does anyone decorate their kitchens for Christmas in real life or is that a just a Hallmark movie thing

Every sentence of this recipe for “Salzburger Candles” made me flinch

The Pöllö Cake by the Keio Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku, Tokyo is styled as a stack of old books on which two wise owls are perched. Each of the books & owls are a different multilayer cake by -strawberries & cream, chocolate, caramel, cheesecake, pistachio. #Christmascakesinjapan #Christmascakes2023

Ahhh @makiwi.bsky.social has started her annual posts about Japanese Christmas cakes - this is one of my favourite festive traditions! 🍰🎄😍

It needs to be December so I can strut around in this, my proudest possession and best eBay acquisition.Those “chocolate kisses!” The stupid buttons! It even came with a “Jesus is the reason for the season” pin.

After opening an ostrich egg last week I am finally using up the last of it in the Thanksgiving pumpkin pie. I’m so tired of Egg.

I found a 1911 Scottish cookbook with instructions on preparing typical banquets from 83 countries (plus one for vegetarians.) Here’s the US and Korea. Koonkokei may be bulgogi?
