Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Books are my comfort food!

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

Israel is using food as a weapon of war. Unforgivable.

A consequence of cucumbers

Despite his magical powers, I don’t think Trump is thinking this through, to be honest.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

The Supreme Court is corrupt. Democrats must win in November and force court reform.

“Cheese and Kraken paired together for the appetizer trial.”

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Can we lighten up on the doomsday scenarios?

Motown is Joe-Town!

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Why is it so hard for them to condemn hate?

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Chef Jose Is An Inspiration (Open Thread)

This post is in: 

The WCK food pallets were delivered to a Jordanian field hospital in hard-to-reach northern Gaza. The shipment included rice, dates, tomato paste, oil, fava beans, a variety of spices, and other desperately needed food for families on the brink of famine. At the same time, our teams are sending convoys of trucks to northern Gaza to support hospitals and displaced families. In Rafah, we are implementing more innovative techniques like specially designed baking steels and non-electric slow cookers to prepare tens of thousands of meals for Palestinians seeking safety. Read the latest from Gaza here.

If you click on the thermometer below, you can choose to donate to World Central Kitchen and/or Razom for Ukraine.

 

We wondered why they couldn’t airdrop food in Gaza, and now we know.  They can.  It’s dusty in here.

    I think Chef Andres is just about my favorite Washingtonian. I’m not sure why I’m still awake but this thread is reminding me to send him a donation and maybe I’ll make a reservation at Oyamel or try out his new place later this week.

    edit: donation made. Thanks for the BJ link. Maybe that’ll help me calm down and go to sleep.

    It’s okay José. You already got nominated for the prize.* You can take a rest now. /s

    *Nobel Peace Prize in case you hadn’t heard.

    I’m surprised he hasn’t already won a Nobel prize, but it’s high time he does. Jose Andres makes the world a better place.

    I don’t speak Latin. Are we finally going to take the fight to Omnes?

    It’s about time.

    Going into a war zone where both sides would use an “incident” to blame the other for an attack on the aid-givers.  Brave.

    I’m up because hubby’s procedure to remove his kidney stones is this morning. I got the earliest time possible because it’s hard for a diabetic to fast for a long time – their blood sugar gets too low. Wish us luck, we’re waiting to check in now.

    Thanks all. Hope I can get some coffee soon, I didn’t have time to make any before we left the house.

    @Soprano2:  Wishing you some coffee and peace, and a good outcome for Mr. Soprano.  He is lucky to have you, and I think he knows it most days.

    Very proud of Chef Andrés and the Jordanian Air Force.  Good work.

    He is courageous.  We need some Chef Andrés in Congress, instead of the Putinists we are afflicted with.  I rather wish we could airdrop the Putinists into Northern Gaza, or behind Ukrainian or Russian lines.  (I fear the Ukrainians might treat them with courtesy, though.)

    Blog seems kinda quiet this morning. Everyone must be exhausted from this year-long month (I know it’s only Feb 6, but I’m completely wiped out).

    WCK is a monthly donation for me since Putin traipsed into Ukraine.

    Jose Andres may be my favorite philanthropist, hope the Nobel Committee agrees.  I love “when you are blessed with much, build a bigger table, not a higher wall!”. Paraphrased and maybe not only his, but it’s a slogan I repeat constantly.  In these times, it’s truer than ever.

    I’ve tossed in a bit to help BJ hit the $100K mark. Thanks to everyone who’s contributed or wished they could! (There have been times in my life when I fell into the latter category.) Hopefully it will show up on the thermometer shortly.
