So many! But this one is delish! Also, great thread of recipes. (Think this was from the LA Times in the 90s)
White bean chowder with tomatoes, mushrooms and spinach 

Active work time 30 minutes;
Total prep time: 1 hour

2 T olive oil, divided 
1 1/2 T minced garlic
1 onion, chopped 
3 (15 oz) cans, Great Northern beans
2 t dried rosemary 
3 cups vegetable broth 
1 1/2 t balsamic vinegar 
1 (14.5 oz) can, diced tomatoes drained 
1/4 pound mushrooms, stems trimmed, sliced 
3/4 t salt 
1/4 to 1/2 t dried red pepper flakes
Freshly ground pepper 
1 6-oz bag baby spinach 
2 T minced Italian parsley or snipped chives for garnish, optional 

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for serving — not even necessary but we do like a shot of truffle oil

Hear 1 T of olive oil in 3-quart pot over. medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is softens, about 5 minutes 

Reserve 3/4 cup of the beans and place the rest, along with the rosemary, in the bowl of a food processor and purer until smooth. 

Transfer the puree and the reserved beans to the pot. Add vegetable broth , vinegar, tomatoes, mushrooms, salt and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. (The chowder can be made 2 days to this point and refrigerated or frozen up to one month.) Stir in spinach when ready to serve. Even better the second day.

I’ve learned from transcription (versus a gazillion years of taking notes during an interview), while it captures all, what makes it into the story is very much like it would have been w/o the tech. That is, people rarely speak in quotes. I find those, use partial quotes & paraphrase the rest.

The only real way that transgender rights hurt Democrats is when they run away from them and look weak. That's why El-Sayed's approach is politically smart and Talarico's is not. Voter do not care about issues. They care about strength versus weakness. Triangulation is weakness.

As an Oregonian (where we've voted by mail ONLY for federal elections since 1995), it's kind of surreal to celebrate that we will get our ballots like normal this year. But I may hand-deliver it to the elections office!

“Unauthorized by the Elections Clause, the (USPS) Final Rule clashes with Congress’s statutory scheme, and is unconstitutional where it intrudes not only on Congress’s Elections Clause powers but also that power left to the States.” It's so hard to argue against that, and yet here we are. Le sigh.

In February 2025 — just after Trump's Gulf name change — national outlets used "Gulf of Mexico" 1.24 times for every 1 "Gulf of America." By August 2026, that ratio had climbed to 7.23 "Gulf of Mexico"s for every "Gulf of America."

This is interesting, but has weaknesses. Not only in not exploring social media’s impact enough but combining that with “talking points.” It focuses on elites’ messaging about the media without recognizing the machine (of people and bots) who amplify those talking points via social media.
