Sunday Morning Coffee, Edition #7

January 7, 2018 by Julie Leave a Comment

We have our first Sunday Morning Coffee of 2018! How has it been, being back to the grindstone? Personally, I’m freezing my ass off. It’s all good though! I’m very excited about any and all fresh opportunities 2018 might have to offer, and there’s a stack of cookbooks to be happily explored on my coffee table! Not to mention some regular books to read, a couple movies I want to see (The Post and Molly’s Game), plus a brand-new empanada restaurant just opened on my block. I mean, talk about pure happiness! And of course, it would appear 2018 is beginning with a very full news cycle – NFL Playoffs are here, a tell-all book about Trump is getting published, the northeastern United States got hit with a bomb cyclone – whatever the hell that is – and was there a Star Wars movie or something? Anyways, let’s get down to it, shall we?

I’m know, I’m incredibly late to the party, but I got The Food Lab for Christmas, so I must share this article for any Kenji fan who might not have seen it. Here you go, grand total of one person! Kenji Dreams of Sausage

Literally Every Single Food Trend Predicted to Take Over 2018 — Eater had the good sense to completely snark on the annual, always-stupid Food Trend Predictions by including ALL. OF. THEM – from every source imaginable, and it’s hilarious. Apparently cottage cheese is the new Greek yogurt? Blech, NOT IN MY HOUSE! And pray tell, what in the everloving hell are “functional mushrooms”? Have we been eating dysfunctional mushrooms all along? Have those machine-sliced, shrink-wrapped shiitakes been drinking too much and hitting their children behind closed doors? No I didn’t Google it, I refuse.

Michael Wolff Did What Every Other White House Reporter Is Too Cowardly to Do —  Everybody not literally living under a rock knows about Michael Wolff’s bombshell book by now, and there is much ado about how much of it is true, but he has audio, and blah, blah, blah. But this particular article raises an important point about the role of journalism in these times – “these times” being ever since America has a mentally unstable con man totally unfit for the job of President in the White House – and perhaps Michael Wolff is the first journalist to really speak up to that fact.

Conservative Christian Activist Needs Help “Re-Horrifying” People About Homosexuality — I grew up in a virulently anti-LGBT subset of Christianity – views I staunchly disagree with today and have for a long time. But I’ve watched over the years as fewer and fewer people cling to this outdated (and frankly cruel) made-up idea that certain sexual orientations are somehow wrong and destroying the whole world, and the panic that ensues from realizing they are losing. Sorry guys, anal sex is not shocking to straight people. They do it too.

There is a Whole Cottage Industry of Doctors Helping Parents Skip Their Kids’ Vaccines — Unlike Teh Butt Sex, THIS is ACTUALLY horrifying. I really hope the California Medical Board goes modern-day-medieval on these so-called physicians’ medical licenses. It’s one thing to claim a bogus religious or philosophical exemption – doing such a thing is unconscionable, but in fairness it is not a doctor’s job to determine if a patient’s religious or philosophical beliefs are truly sincere. It IS their job to accurately determine if someone’s immune system can handle a vaccine and tell the truth about it instead of enabling anti-science fear-mongering.

Evangelizing Climate Science — A profile of Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, a woman who happens to be both a climatologist and an evangelical Christian, and all the good work she is doing and is uniquely positioned to do in combating climate change denial. I hope there are more people like her.

If You Want to Know Who’s Running in 2020, Watch Capitol Hill, Not Iowa — An interesting take, mostly focusing on Democrats for obvious reasons, but a few Republicans are showing signs of throwing their hat into the race, too. I guess for now at least, I’ll have to heed my New Jerseyness and root for Booker.

Please, Do Not Make ‘Snow Cream’ Out of New York City Snow — Oh my god, yes to this! City snow is the grossest thing ever, and doesn’t come close to resembling Norman Rockwell-esque pictures of a glistening white blanket as far as the eyes can see. If you grew up in a warm climate then moved directly to the NYC area in your mid-twenties, you also learned this the hard way.

Endive Salad with Toasted Walnuts and Breadcrumbs — ‘Twas the week between Christmas and New Year’s, and our bodies were absolutely begging for a break from the heavy eating of the season; so we made this salad and horfed it for dinner one night, so good did it taste in all its lighter, healthier glory. Run, don’t walk, to your grocery store and you could be swooning over it tonight.

Seared Gnocchi with Roasted Arugula — Since learning gnocchi is a goal for me this year, this recipe caught my eye. Plus, roasting arugula is very new to me and I’m intrigued.

Have a relaxing Sunday, and stay warm! Happy 2018!

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 💛💛💛
