Well the thing is he has some cousin mentioned that takes up with black people (not the word used) and becomes a voodoo priest after spending time in mexico. Also it’s in context that the character belongs to a slave owning dynasty who were horribly deprived when the federal forces took away their plantation.

just re-read it, takes some additional shots at black people and voodoo

this seems like it would be relatively easy to re-create- 2 blocks of cooked sticky rice, formed into bun shapes and flattened. fry on a griddle with soy sauce, using a weight to keep it nice and flat. once crispy on both sides, let cool while you cook your hamburger. To really emulate it, cook one of those frozen…

even further, machine gun kelly was the nickname of a prohibition era criminal named George Kelly Barnes. he’s largely remembered because he was one of the first inter-state criminals the FBI busted for kidnapping.

the irony is that Kelly was kind of considered a joke amongst other criminals- he was big on bragging but…

yeah- thats actually particularly brilliant. googly eyes at chani, Paul kills Sting (or whomever it is this time) is offered his membership into the freman, chooses his name and then you end on stilgars quote about the Muad’Dib. Thats a very cinematic moment

they also show them ‘spinning up’ beloved relatives on special occasions using whatever sleeve they can rent on the cheap (the detective basically borrows one from the police evidence locker to get her grandmother back.) the conversation she has with her at the end of the party where she asks her to stop bringing her…

‘many suspected of being a Nazi sympathizer’

he had a secret family in nazi germany. i think you can remove the ‘many suspected of being’ part and be safe 

she might have better luck introducing it if she hadn’t thrown the dish at an intern immediately after

the logical place (to my mind) is after the fight to be accepted into the freman. big climactic fight, accepted into the freman, googly eyes at chani, go to credits.

i think that while its relatively early in the book, the plot is very front loaded. they introduce all the universe building, do all of the ‘this is what…

its a guilty pleasure style dip, but in a good way. i make it once or twice a year- always for the super bowl (even though we’re not doing anything for it, its still a little bit fun to have little fun food traditions for things) and also for the occasional party where you’re asked to bring an app.

generic store brand ‘mexican cheese mix’ because i am cheap and lazy

bottom up: refried beans mixed with a jar of taco sauce to make them creamier, sour cream/mayo/taco seasoning mix, mashed avacado, cheese, chopped scallions and chopped tomato. the 7th is sliced black olive, but i don’t like them much so i leave them off unless i’m hosting a party and then i do half and half.

its…

yeah, i’m with you- dip is my favorite part of the superbowl meal. in fact, you reminded me i need to get all the stuff for my 7 layer dip

old bay is fine, but i must admit i use cajun seasoning on my softshell crabs. i just feel like it compliments the flavor of crab more than old bay.

He has been very contrite and atoned for his actions, which is laudable and i generally believe in rehabilitation and not punishment.

but given the brutality and cruelty of what he did, i also have a tough time believing that anyone who doesn’t harbor very strong sociopathic tendencies would do what he did. and…

The extended trailer explains it, if you want to save yourself the movie ticket.

‘gansett is a good, solid, working-on-stuff beer. like, its 85 degrees out and you just mowed the lawn or built a deck or helped someone move into an apartment without AC and you’re sweaty and you want a cold, refreshing beer. you’re not going to crack into a 12% imperial stout with chocolate notes at that point.

i don’t know, i thought her arc on arrow was pretty solid and she had one of the more compelling stories in the DCAU

apparently emma stone was also busy.

and captain hook is in this movie- he and peter are friends who fight the villian (played by hugh jackman) who is playing blackbeard (despite not really having a beard.) very cliche

yeah, i mean.... i can listen to a podcast while still saying ‘can i please get a large black coffee’ and then ‘thank you’ when the coffee is presented to me. i don’t know how extreme the airpods are for blocking noise, but my old motorola over the ears ones let me hear what people are saying without a problem.

and…
