Sunday Morning Coffee, Edition #2

November 19, 2017 by Julie Leave a Comment

Welcome to Sunday Morning Coffee! What a week. Alabama *might* elect a Democratic Senator, many Republicans are actually defending a pedophile, Thanksgiving is early this year (eeek!) and I made a chai butternut squash bundt cake and forgot to put eggs in the batter! Facepalm. No matter, let’s get down to it, shall we?

Speaking of Alabama… Grown Men Don’t “Date” Teenagers, They Abuse Them – “… the GOP needs to at least pretend to care about girls more than they care about appearances. This is more than just putting party before country. This is putting party before punishing pedophilia.”

I Believe Juanita – As much as I vehemently detest the classic narcissistic tactic Trump and the conservative media love so much – Whataboutism – I too think Dems need a reckoning on their support of Bill Clinton.

When It Comes To Sexual Harassment Claims, Whose Side Is Human Resources On? – With all the sexual assault and harassment accusations in the news lately, it was inevitable that workplace sexual harassment would become a hot topic. It’s definitely worth discussing the problems and the future solutions that are already coming into play.

John Boehner Unchained – A fascinating profile of former House Speaker John Boehner, post retirement. It’s … unfiltered. And … really, really illuminating.

A Psychologist Says Early Christmas Music Is Unhealthy – Okay, so this is based on one opinion, not any actual scientific research, but my confirmation bias is totally doing the happy dance right now.

Ribs For Your Pleasure, From Head Smokeboy Drew Magary – If, in the future, you ever hear me using the phrase “rib condom” you’ll know where I heard it first.

Okay, so this random guy on Twitter couldn’t sleep one night and decided to pass the time by giving letter grades to all the current species of fox. Not the television channel, but actual foxes. You know, animals. I nearly fell off a restaurant bar stool laughing. I would really like the privilege of walking around in his brain for just a few minutes sometime.

Turkey is obviously on the brain this week, and to date, this is my absolute favorite Thanksgiving turkeys I’ve ever, ever made. Or eaten, for that matter. Michael Symon’s Cider-Glazed Turkey with Lager Gravy – try it and be amazed.

I am an enormous fan of pumpkin pie, the classic will always do, but I’m both intrigued by and apprehensive about Pumpkin Slab Pie. It’s interesting and beautiful, but will I miss that deep forkful of earthy custard? Sometimes slab pie seems too thin for certain applications. I will be open-minded though!

Pumpkin Cornbread. I make this every Thanksgiving week without fail, ever since I discovered such a thing exists. I have no words for how easy and delicious it is.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

XO, Julie

Palomas with Chaat Masala! Need a drink tonight? O Palomas with Chaat Masala! Need a drink tonight? Of course you do! Want to at least feel like you're enjoying it on a tropical beach? That'd be nice... Here you go! 

Palomas are Margaritas' first cousins: grapefruit, tequila, agave syrup, and this very special, lovely version adds the Indian spice mix chaat masala for a unique twist you didn't expect. It's 💯😊💛

My Favorite Turkey Chili! Happy another snow day My Favorite Turkey Chili! 

Happy another snow day (or something) my fellow northeasterners! We got 2 feet yesterday, and another few inches today, and I'll just confirm that being stuck inside for blizzards > being stuck inside for pandemics. 

I'm craving chili rn, of course I didn't think ahead to get stuff to make it, but if I had, this beautiful turkey chili would be dinner tonight. Dark meat turkey, lots of earthy spices incl cocoa powder give it an almost mole vibe. I always serve any chili with Frito scoops and Shiner Bock, because part of me never really left Texas! 😍😍

New Post! Kale and Broccoli Yogurt Caesar I some New Post! Kale and Broccoli Yogurt Caesar 

I somehow took the month of January off social media. It wasn't planned; I spend January in a bit of a fog and a funk under the best of circumstances, and it turns out, a pandemic and an insurrection on the Capitol aren't the "best of circumstances" - SHOCKER!! 

So, how was it being mostly off Instagram for a month? The best answer I can give is 🤷‍♀️

Did I miss it? Nope, not even a little bit. 
Did it improve my life in any way? Again, no, not one bit. I'm still me, I'm still here, there's still a pandemic. Really digging this whole New President thing though 😊

Anyways, I did get some content #ontheblog in January, I hope you love it! First up, a lightened and super easy Caesar salad, which is hearty and creamy and tangy, and if you haven't tried torn croutons yet, well, I could sing their praises all day. Probably easiest to just try them to shut me up 😂😁

Chocolate Tahini Sheet Cake with Tahini Frosting i Chocolate Tahini Sheet Cake with Tahini Frosting is #ontheblog 👍👍
Today culminates one of the darkest weeks I've seen in a long time. I strongly suspected some sort of chaos would happen January 6th, but was still shaken by the depravity of it. One aspect I can't shake or wrap my head around is how we're all just... expected to go on with life. After watching half of Congress almost get assassinated. That happened, we saw it live, and it's just, go back to work, do the laundry, go on about your routine. No day of mourning, no time off to process the trauma. 

I feel very weird sharing recipes. Who's even thinking about cooking rn? There's no real way to rationalize it; it's my job, and like you, I have to keep working. If you want a stress bake, this cake will treat you well. Tahini - not just for hummus! It pairs with chocolate beautifully. 

Stay safe, take care of yourself. Keep using your voice to fight for justice. It'll get worse before it gets better. Sending you 💛💛💛
