Corporate Counsel Now has just published my article "Merger Agreements Are Poorly Drafted." It's at corporatecounselnow.com/merger-agree.... Seemed like a good excuse to see whether there's anyone here interested in that sort of thing. @lu.is @mattboyd.bsky.social

Merger Agreements Are Poorly Drafted
Are M&A contracts fundamentally flawed? Scholar Kenneth A. Adams argues that copy-paste drafting and legalistic language create costly inefficiencies — and offers a smarter path forward.

This Greek Easter, the instructions were clear: "Two tsoureki!" I complied, using the usual recipe. #breadsky www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/gree...
Two tsoureki (braided Greek Easter bread), fresh out of the oven and resting on racks. Each has a boiled egg, shell dyed red, nestled in the braids.

Field trials of my contraption to allow me to load my Italian sub with shredded iceberg lettuce and vinaigrette without it going all over the place. Patent pending. Somewhere in there is one of my sesame seed rolls. #foodsky #breadsky

I can confirm that the Hasselbeck-potato-gratin hype is real: it's the best potato dish I've ever made. I was too busy eating to take pics. #foodsky www.seriouseats.com/hasselback-p...

Hasselback Potato Gratin Recipe
This holiday-ready Hasselback potato gratin recipe delivers all the creamy, cheesy decadence of a classic potato gratin but with infinitely more crispy edges.

This apple pie awaits us. I followed Claire Saffitz's serious recipe in @bonappetit.bsky.social. But at my wife's request, I made the top crust out of leaves. www.bonappetit.com/recipe/best-... #foodsky

Nuts.com has caught shrinkflation. In a shipment I received yesterday, organic Medjool dates and organic dried cranberries were in 13-oz bags instead of one-pound bags. The cranberries cost $0.79 per oz instead of the $0.72 per oz I paid in August. I'm not complaining, just observing! #foodsky

For the first time, I saw a chunk of guanciale (cured pork jowl) in a store. Heck, even finding it diced in a plastic package is rare enough. So of course I bought it. I see spaghetti carbonara in our future. Mad props to Iavarone Bros. for stocking it, as well as capicola (aka gabagool). #foodsky

Some days what's required is lots of pasta, cheeses, and bechamel sauce topped with breadcrumbs, accompanied by a token vegetable. Today was one of those days. #foodsky

I just used the phrase "Gallic shrug" in one in a series of new writings that are meant to be more accessible. Oops. At some point accessible crosses over into dreary. If everyone can effortlessly digest what you've written, it's gruel.

Is "chalk up to" (as in, "He chalked up his mistakes to his inexperience") too fuddy-duddy for an online world? (Mind you, "fuddy-duddy" might be too fuddy-duddy for an online world.)

This would be an extremely bad idea. It will not satisfy them. It will acknowledge that they are right about something. It will empower them. Literally nothing that anyone should do, should be oriented towards placating this administration.

What's wrong with this Italian sub? Well, the moment I put this batch of rolls in the oven, I realized I had forgotten the sesame seeds! And I went to a deli that was convenient but not the best, so no gabagool! But otherwise, it should be good. #breadsky

Today, as a gesture of thanks to those helping with our renovations, I made pizza, for the first time in months, using my Ooni Koda 16. It worked out out fine, but I'm still looking for more crunch. What do you do, friends, to get crunch? (I used Tony Gemignani's master dough with biga.) #pizzanerd

Drove my wife to Connecticut today, so I went to New Haven, to try Modern Apizza for the first time. The crust of my pizza was, at the edge, light and flimsy. Elsewhere, it was drowned in puddles of melted mozzarella and exhibited a terminal case of flopitis. Not my type of pizza. #pizzanerd

Today's cranberry and walnut sourdough loaves. They're great, but I've scaled down my sourdough habit: after months of twice-a-day feeding, the starter is in the fridge. And of these loaves, one will go in the freezer or to friends: there's a limit to how much bread the two of us can eat! #breadsky
Two cranberry and walnut sourdough loaves, one scored with a series of angled slashes, the other with one lengthwise score.

See this cute critter? It's a flying squirrel. Because we've destroyed their habitat, they're moving into suburban homes, ours being one of them. We've had a colony of them wreaking havoc. One showed up in a drawer in a bathroom, I kid you not. 1/2

What best accompanies pizza when you have guests? Usually I've done a salad of Boston lettuce, Belgian endive, and radicchio, but that seems insubstantial. Any suggestions? #pizzanerd

Here's this year's Greek vasilopita ("St Basil's bread"), eaten on New Year's Day. It's basically challah with mahlepi (the ground pit of a kind of cherry), mastica (pine resin), and grated orange rind. I used challah braiding, then spoiled it by adding the year on top in ropes of dough. #breadsky

What's for lunch? Detroit-style pizza, using Peter Reinhart's "bacon and eggs" recipe from Perfect Pan Pizza and, for the dough, Charlie Anderson's recipe. #pizzanerd
