The dumbest thing I did today was seek approval from my father.

I get LOTS of emails in my Junk folder from Dr. Oz and an occasion one from RFK. Jr. I’m winning, right?

My friend had the absolute best one that never ends.
Sam Donaldson of Sam
Donaldson of Sam, and so on and so on.

Oh, I’ve been down this path before.
Amy Winehouse dressing.

Fry them whole in a pan of oil ‘til they’re crisp and toss them on a pizza. So good.

Oh man, those firsts, right? For me Andrew Wyeth, Schiele, Sally Mann, Joel-Peter Witkin, Sargent. So many firsts.

I like beating up an egg, then slowing pouring it in to the blades of an immersion blender. It adds a nice richness.

My snarky reply was meant to poke fun of guys who think they can fix anything other than fixing themselves.

I was too forward.

I apologize. I was playing towards the ignorance of white males. I really appreciate your insights and posts.

I am sorry.

Middle aged white guy here. I’m pretty sure I can fix you. Wanna date? (Blatant ignorance totally intended, free of charge)

I drove from PA to AR and back with tomatoes in the back seat on the return trip. AR has some unsung tomatoes.

Thanksforthelove! 🤗

My grandmother squashed beetles between her fingers and poured boiling water on sidewalk ant hills. I’m 50. She never gave me liver! Am I the winner? Or loser here?

“Hey, sport” and “What’s new?” are both pleasantries offered up with very little expectation of any sort of substantive reply. Does that clear things up? Sport.

Lima beans? Really? Over liver? You’re wayyyyy too young to have been fed liver, no?

We have our first Wawa opening in Sheetz territory, soon. (Central PA) Bring your weird here, please.

@aronwiesenfeld.bsky.social, uh, oh, hey, hi, um, thank you.

There’s a bar in PA that has tater tots on the menu with a choice of add-ons. Cheese, onion, jalapeños, tomato, etc. It all ends up in a waffle iron and it’s a level of genius rarely seen.

My daughter likes steamed cauliflower and I drop a bay leaf or two in the pot. The hint of floral flavor is a nice, subtle addition.

This is nothing more than Lucy setting up the football to pull away from Charlie Brown yet again.

My 9yo is asking me about demogorgons I can’t get my brain past Demi Gorgonzola.

Tomorrow I have an interview for a part-time position that pays decently and is so very far from soul crushing. Can I get some fingers crossed on my behalf, please and thank you?

Preserved Lemons! Lemons/kosher salt in a mason jar. Just last night, I used 1/4 of my first one in a salad dressing. Used another 1/4 in a salsa, today. Gonna use in a chicken dish and a pasta dish. It’s super lemon-y but slightly green olive brine-y?

Five concerts seen with women lead singers

Tori Amos
Beth Orton
Patty Griffin
Joanna Newsom/Martha Wainwright/Neko Case
Melody Gardot

“And The Ass Saw The Angel” (Nick Cave) is wild, too, from a wild narrator.

Lastly, “Jesus’ Son”. (Denis Johnson) kind of reminds me of the warm but tragic adventures in “The Little Prince”.

I love “The Little Prince”. Although I finished it, I haven’t really because I continue reading it out loud to my 9yo.

I came to recommend “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”. (Man vs. machine, authority, woman all observed by a mute Native American.)

Store-bought cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt and a little sprinkle of brown sugar baked at 225 degrees for 2.5-3 hours are ridiculously good. I make them every 1-2 weeks, spread them on sandwiches, spoon them on eggs, or as a side by themselves.

Would love to see you pull stills from “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” to linocut.
