@benmandelker.bsky.social We live in a glorious time wherein Stephanie Hodge is appearing on two TV shows (#juryduty and #thecomeback). Can that Nurses reboot be far behind?

Wow thank you for shining a light on the Hodge-aissance!

Yeah I engaged in that too last year and then realized there was no reason to! (Shackleton is better though fwiw)

If you like salmon then you should go visit my substack because I just compiled several of my favorite salmon recipes! Why not add them to your repertoire? open.substack.com/pub/nbdfancy...

Yup! It was so fun. Not as scary as I thought it would be.

For the past six weeks I’ve been totally consumed with The Golden Crappies. Now that it’s over I want to dive back into my substack but sort of have writers block. Any food things you all want me to write about? Or any ideas for inspo?

The most amazing chicken. We actually call it “#1 chicken” in these parts. food52.com/recipes/8202...

I really do. Kanban and On Mars and CO2 are my faves of his but I never wanted to play them with the fervor that I do speakeasy. Speakeasy is the first that feels fun-forward. Watch some play throughs and see if they speak to you!
