Sunday Morning Coffee, Edition #4

December 3, 2017 by Julie Leave a Comment

The first week back after time off always feels like a cruel slap in the face, and to add insult to injury, we’ve spent this week worrying about tax bills and drowning in shocking (or maybe not shocking?) news of more and more sexual harassment/assault claims against famous men, and then there was the bombshell news from the Mueller camp that was all of Friday! Firstly, I cannot express enough admiration of the courage it takes these women to come forward, and these journalists to take on the very powerful. But it’s also quite depressing. So beyond a major shout-out to my man Ad-Rock – thank you for being a real man and not making me delete the copious amount of Beastie Boys music on my iTunes – I’m not sharing anything about this topic today. I assume you’re in the know. Secondly, follow Bodega Cats on Twitter. Alright, shall we?

Diseased rats! It’s a much more pleasant topic of discussion than sexual harassment. But seriously, there is actual scientific research going down on The Genetic Divide Between NYC’s Uptown and Downtown Rats. Think about that: there’s a graduate advisor out there at Fordham University who signed off on one of their students writing a dissertation about NYC rats. The human capacity for curiosity should never cease to amaze.

GOP Congressman Demands Competitive Districts — A GOP Congressman is actually against gerrymandering!

After Flynn, Are Kushner and Don Jr. Next? — A solid analysis of where we are with the Michael Flynn guilty plea. It cuts through a lot of the distracting noise and confusion and boils it down in plain English.

“She Didn’t Want This Come Hell or High Water”: Inside Melania Trump’s Secretive East Wing — Okay, so it’s not the point of the article, but apparently Donald Trump is so utterly stupid and arrogant that he didn’t even know he had to fill Cabinet positions when he assumed the presidency. !!!! As per the kids these days, I can’t even. Anyways, the *actual* point of this well-written article is a very compelling portrait of perhaps America’s most reluctant First Lady ever. Melania herself did not contribute to the piece, but it gives you a sense of how hard it must be to walk in her shoes right now.

Gwyneth Paltrow to Feature Doctor Who Thinks AIDS is a Big Pharma Scam at In GOOP Health — Aaaannnnddd, THIS is why I refuse to ever own any of Gwyneth Paltrow’s cookbooks, as she is nothing but a pretentious, charlatan gasbag. I still occasionally watch Se7en though.

6 Horrifying Endings That “True Story” Movies Left Out — We all know that “based on a true story” is one of the most malleable phrases in the entirety of the English language, but I’m extremely shocked at what happened AFTER “The Sound of Music” ended! Oh the things no one tells you when you’re a kid. Or a college student visiting Austria and riding the Sound of Music bus tour, for that matter.

James Cameron Finally Explains Why Jack Had to Die in Titanic — The blockbuster Titanic is turning twenty (who else feels super old?), and James Cameron, who is kind of a prick btw, finally answers why Jack doesn’t get on the door with Rose at the end of the movie. Because as millions of people have pointed out, there was room for him.

A dissection of the brouhaha over where Google placed the cheese on their new hamburger emoji, and where we stand now. Because hey, sometimes it’s cathartic to blow up over things that just don’t matter.

Lobster Grilled Cheese. I really don’t know how I feel about that. What say you?

I’m not Italian, not even a little bit, but I’m very intrigued by Italian Rainbow Cookies and feel I should make them sometime.

I’m signing off for now, wishing you a restful Sunday and we can at least dream of a calmer news week, right?

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 💛💛💛
