I guess Trump could have sought a preemptive pardon for Epstein, but he died just a few weeks after his arrest, before he was found guilty of any crime, and before he gave any testimony.  

The preemptive pardon that immediately jumps out to me is for Ghislaine Maxwell. I guarantee that Trump is desperate to pardon her in an effort to shut her up.

Second this. I put a handful of ice cubes into a 21oz Hydro Flask and fill it with water every morning.  The ice will last all day, even after 2 or 3 refills.

I agree with adding crunch. I also think Thanksgiving consists of too many savory flavors. Brine your turkey in buttermilk, put some apples in your stuffing, and add some honey or balsamic to your brussells sprouts. That whole Salt Fat Acid Heat is no joke!

Having driven from Idaho to Wisconsin this summer, the one and only thing that forces you inside with other people is pooping.  Is there a solution?  Depends.

Black beans don’t get enough breakfast love, pile them on eggs with plenty of hot sauce.

Never have I seen more writing in a cookbook’s margins than in families’ Moosewood books. Great encouragement for beginner cooks to…

The NFL is adopting the same failed safety precautions that MLB is choking on right now - for a full-contact sport, with many more players, during a time of the year when the virus spreads more easily, with fans. Owners and Goodell only care about money, so don’t they want the league to stay running?  I can’t for the…

We’ve settled on a handful of staples (bolognese, pad thai, enchiladas, etc.) but every Saturday I sit down with my massive pile of old Cook’s Illustrated and Milk Street magazines and find one recipe for the week that I’ve never made before.  I have rarely been disappointed.
