Just make sure you don’t zest down into the white skin of the lemon (makes it more bitter). The sugar pulls the oil out of the zest and friend - best lemon flavor ever.

Next time, zest them lemons in a bowl with the sugar first for a bit. Then heat with some water in a pan (just before boiling) and strain into the lemon juice.

Vouchers are bad. ESA’s are bad. Arizona has about a $1 billion hole blasted through their budget for them and whew, if a public school wasted this money there’d be hell to pay:

This coach got burned calling the goalline defense on the 50 yard line on a 4th an 2 when they didn’t have anyone cover the WR, and lost his voice screaming about the lack of execution.

What a 🤯 stat from the I on Hawks pod- this @IowaWBB team is heading into the B1G tourney with a better record than any year with Caitlin. Jan has some assassins and Ava Heiden is setting up for a RUN

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

@hollyanderson.bsky.social after last night’s absurdity, Dracula PLUS is the most rational concept I’ve heard in a minute. Dracula PLUS can save America’s healthcare system.

I’m here to plant the flag that this is a shadow prequel to The Expanse, and i want to see Season 6 become the Asteroid Belt expansion. I simply hope AppleTV keeps barreling forward. Also: Silo, Invasion, Monarch, Foundation! Dark Matter! SEVERANCE! PLURIBUS! Keep going!

Public school administrators- superintendents, principals, directors, are told not to post pictures on vacations or situations where it looks bad ethically in order to avoid the scrutiny of public dollars paying their salaries and how it can be perceived. Guess that doesn’t apply to the FBI

Surrounding himself with terrible people, and terrible corn? I shouldn’t be surprised. If this squatty person is seeing over top of your tasseled corn, you need to find a better seed corn dealer. Maybe because I grew up in Iowa and know good corn should tower over top of this boy

Blame the editor who should have caught this. I read the article, and yet the headline persists to make people avoid doing so, and my bad, it’s 10 months early! Hope the Olympics are still going

I know nobody watches local tv anymore, except to maybe catch the weather or news. But back in the day they had some ear worms in their ads. Every once in a while one gets triggered- if you lived in NW Iowa, Beano & Sherry’s Casino was a banger.

Pate puts on a clown nose when he’s made a bad pick. I know his “fox hole” boys are supporting him, but this isn’t the hill. This is a bad call. Ignoring all the bad and saying it’s “just football” just looks naive and ignorant. Unfollowed, unsubscribed, all of them.

I think kids growing up in the Trump era should be told clearly that they are being raised under a regime that espouses white supremacy as if it is a legitimate politics, the same as any other.

@netw3rk.bsky.social listening to Xray Vision as a precursor to the next Dunk & Egg Chronicles, and Zack from Game of Owns sounds too much like George Clooney that I had to double check to make sure he wasn’t a guest. Great pod!

@pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social just made a profound statement that is ringing in my ears… “Everything is bum fights.” And I can’t stop thinking about framing everything in that perspective.
