Someone noted that Mamdani just became mayor so he could meet Thierry Henry because he’s such a huge Arsenal fan; naaaah, I think he became mayor so he can sit with Nas.

In the book, Lafrieda talks about how strict regulations are, but here we see that it depends entirely on producers operating within the system. When a company brazenly steps outside it, ughhhh

Book no.14 for 2026 💙📚 We’re all already rethinking our relationship with the food supply chain when I finished “Glorious Beef” by Pat Lafrieda earlier this year, and I thought, OK, at least beef is still good. Now this: www.scrippsnews.com/life/recalls...

Harvested the last carnival squash from the garden. I made dashi and simmered them skin-on with sake, sugar, and soy sauce. Served as a side to broiled salmon. #ciacooksjerseycity

I had 2 packs of halloumi in the fridge for summer salads but neglected to use them until now. It’s been raining outside so I used them to top pasta and marinara instead. I baked it until the halloumi was brown and had crispy bits. #ciacooksjerseycity

There are several versions, but you can refer to this, but I’m lazy so I buy already-cubed pancetta and sliced provolone. I don’t fry the pancetta at all. I also add them like pizza toppings before I roll it into a log. www.goodcookingshow.com/recipes/pros...

Prosciutto Bread (Lard Bread) — Good Cooking Show
This simple and soft bread mixed with pieces of prosciutto and provolone is an Italian staple, especially during Easter. Great to serve on any dinner table.

Coach Hallgrímsson says there is no action they will do that will keep everyone happy. He says we don’t know the consequences if we don’t play the game. It’s two choices and both are bad, he says. It’s a situation where you can’t win.

The match will go ahead tomorrow “following a significant majority vote by the Irish players”. Gavin Bazunu, goalie, is the only player to pull out of the game. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_B...

perhaps because the #MLS operates under its own strict roster rules, DP rules, and financial compliance guidelines; but because both NYCFC and Man City operate under the City Football Group (CFG), it could bring broader reputational scrutiny or questions regarding CFG's wider multi-club model

Book no.20 for 2026 💙📚 “The Disappearers” by Marlon James which I totally pre-ordered because of this NYTimes headline; I didn’t even read the article! (I try not to read reviews; sometimes I don’t even read the jacket!) So we’ll see! #ciaheartsbooks
“The Disappearers” by Marlon James  #ciaheartsbooksFICTION
This Masterpiece Is the Novel of the Decade, if Not the Century

Marlon James's story of gay experience and murderous homophobia in Jamaica is a maximalists banquet — and the Booker
Prize winner's finest book yet.
