I hope so too, but without Eva Green...

I’m not generally a huge fan of summer, but it is G & T time, and this pineapple gin might help things along as well. You can also use the peels and core to infuse plain water, if you’re interested in straight up hydration. Just cover everything with cold water and let it steep in the fridge for 24 hrs.

Exactly like, as a matter of fact.

Yes. That’s a great idea.

Isn’t her beauty the only reason anyone pays any attention to Maria Sharapova? She’s pretty much famous because she’s gorgeous, right?

I don’t think they ever use that term, or state it explicitly, but yes, that’s what they did to her.

I wanted her to remove the bonnet, too. “You can’t drive like that! You hav no peripheral vision!”

Hmm...it doesn’t read that way at all on my tv. Maybe it’s your color/brightness settings.

Oh, yeah. I think June said something about the kids, but didn’t note their clothing, like it wasn’t at all unusual.

John Hamm wisdom a waiter at Cardwells’s in the 90's? I wonder if he ever waited on me? Probably not, but I’ll tell myself he definitely was.

Made some cold asparagus and leek soup the other day. Fabulous. The recipe called for yogurt, and I also added some buttermilk to thin it and and a healthy dose of lemon juice. Garnished it with a drizzle of lemon oil and fresh basil. Really nice if you want to do something a little different with asparagus.

Awww...:)

I totally understand what your saying, but there is an undercurrent of hope in the show that keeps the darkness from feeling overwhelming. If you ever wanted to check it out....it really is quite good.

Fuck you and your shithole attitude. Nashville is a nice town, but St. Louis is a great city with a 50-year hockey history and many devoted fans.

Ahh...much better.

I don’t find it unabashedly depressing. It’s grim, certainly. Very grim. But there’s just enough of an undercurrent of hope to keep you...and Offred...going.

Starred cause I just love that sentence.

I’m actually really surprised by the description of that cake. It sounds very delicious and very sophisticated...and very not-Elvis.

You have no idea how weirdly appealing that is to me.

Yes, please. I did a sous vide duck (like you, I was only able to find a whole, frozen duck and had to thaw it and hack the damn thing into pieces) for New Year’s Eve and overall it was quite good, though I have to say the confit legs kicked the ass of the breast meat.
