Exquisite esquites

By Mia Leimkuhler

If I were mayor of Picnictown, every picnic would have the following: a blanket, a 1:1 dog-to-human ratio and esquites. The blanket’s there because grass is itchy no matter what the most outdoorsy person in the group says; the dogs because dogs are great. The esquites are essential because my favorite outdoor corn is elotes, but they don’t travel nearly as well as esquites. (The laws of Picnictown consider how easy it is to carry your picnic things on public transportation.)

This is barely a compromise, though, because Kay Chun’s esquites capture all the beloved and balanced elements of elotes: sweet summer corn, tangy lime, creamy cotija (and crema), spicy ancho chile. The smoky flavor you get from grilled corn is here, too, as the kernels are charred in a hot skillet until browned and caramelized. Perhaps the most enticing part of the recipe is this note from Kay: “Leftovers transform quickly into a great pasta salad the next day; simply toss with cooked pasta and olive oil.” Picnictown loves a resourceful pasta salad.

More picnic decrees, because it’s the first day of summer! Make Zainab Shah’s sheet-pan chicken tikka thighs ahead of time, and then toss some roti or naan in your tote bag for effortless but extremely delicious sandwiches. Ali Slagle’s green bean salad with dill pickles and feta is perfect all by itself, but if someone else wanted to bring a container of cooked barley or farro, that would be a really nice collaborative grain bowl picnic moment. (For even more lovely, easy picnic ideas that travel well, check out this recipe collection.)

Every June, the summer produce flows into and overwhelms my corner grocery store, and every June I am positively giddy about it. Right now the shelves are buckling from so many cherry tomatoes, and I’m doing my part with salad e-shirazi, basil and tomato fried rice and salmon and tomatoes in foil, a five-star, five-ingredient dinner from Mark Bittman.

I am trying to be more adventurous with my vegetables, branching out and bringing home goodies I don’t usually cook. I’ve never really loved bitter melon (I’m not alone), but I do like bitter things — extra dark chocolate, dandelion greens, Campari. So I’m going to try this stir-fried bitter melon with eggs, a recipe from Chutatip Suntaranon (known as Nok) adapted by Cathy Erway.

The creamy scrambled eggs, salty soy sauce and molasses-y brown sugar will mellow out the harshest edges of the bitter melon. And I trust Nok — I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Kalaya, Nok’s restaurant in Philadelphia, and Nok never misses.

Lastly: It’s hot out there, and I’d like to give you an excuse to stand in front of the open refrigerator after a long afternoon in Picnictown. Here’s Lisa Donovan’s new recipe for buttermilk tres leches cake, which is best served extremely chilled, straight from the pan. I interpret this as spooning giant mouthfuls of cold, creamy cake into my mouth while bending into the fridge, but if you’d like to use plates and forks and a table, by all means.

''We carry one another’s pain so deeply, the women in my family. It is like an extra organ, a broken chamber of our hearts that none of us knows how to make work, blocking the normal things that other people’s hearts do''

So Rob orchestrated the hostage situation, able to manipulate Matty and the screws.

I fear Betsy will not be too difficult for him :/

(EDIT: tags - by escape i dont necessarily mean a prison break but a more general "getting out of prison before he's supposed to")

Bad movie I have Buddy Games: Spring Awakening 2023

[missmitchieg]

thinking about unpopular characters in cm and whenever there's a woman or poc in cm, they're written off without no or little explanation or killed off but if it's a white guy who's unpopular, they get to stay as long as they want. Explains why Tyler is now a series regular and Kevin got to stay for so many seasons while Stephen, Phil, Krystal, Maeve, Haley and Strauss are killed off

Were Stephen and Phil even particularly unpopular/disliked when they were on? All Stephen did was his job and Phil was so Just There. (But at the same time, he was a Black man that showed genuine romantic interest in Garcia and wanted to treat her right and take care of her and of course we can't have that, no no, we need a white demon to hurt her because that's mOrE iNtErEsTiNg 😒🙄)

Oh, and don't forget Carolyn Baker, Rossi's first wife. She was killed off before I even got a real chance to get really attached to her, which is SO rude. Honestly, I was SHOCKED when it was announced that Hotch and Beth broke up so she could go to Hong Kong instead of finding out she got killed by a fucking axe murderer or something equally horrifying and that is Not Good because that says A LOT about how lazy the writers room is with women like WOO.

Krystall, Erin, Haley, and Maeve's deaths were so tragic and for what? Angst and drama? Don't these writers ever get tired of it?

Y'know, I really appreciated when they didn't kill off Savannah and Lisa because I was like "DO NOT KILL DEREK'S GIRLFRIEND AND BABY. DO NO- Jesus, thank you." "Y'all JUST offed Phil, you cannot- Thank you." and that is... Deeply upsetting and concerning to me.

Okay so based on the trailer I saw this morning, Carla and Lisa are going to hell Rob get out of the country, and therefore out of their lives, while also lifting the weight of trying to kill him off of Carla's conscience
