Tuesday Things.

1. I’ve been working on putting together our summer reading list (already! I know!) but in the meantime, have a few leftover from winter. I just started This Is How It Always Is.

2. What is this madness?! Chicken alfredo waffle fries.

3. A few of you have requested a Trunk Club update! The first box was okay. I only ended up keeping one shirt, but that’s mainly because the things sent to me were SO wintery (like a very warm cardigan? I’m in Spring mode!) and then I didn’t love the fit of the jeans. I gave tons of detailed feedback so I’m hoping they get better as we go. Still love regular old shopping over this though.

4. Oh and I cannot get on board with this clear shoe trend. I just can’t do it. And I love heels. But I don’t want clear straps or shoes.

5. How Brene Brown gets it done. I love her.

6. I actually watched the GOT battle on Sunday night because I couldn’t help it! I rewatched it with Eddie last night too. I can’t imagine being invested in the show because I had anxiety about everyone. How did they even film this? I read that it took 55 nights? Incredible. I also LOVED the Billions episode. Can’t believe Wendy is cracking, haha.

7. Also I fiiiiinally watched the RBG documentary on a flight last Friday night after wanting to watch it forever. I was both laughing out loud and crying right there on the plane. It was so incredible and if you haven’t seen it, you must!

8. The instagram aesthetic is over. Is it?

9. Okay it’s official! Doing my 50th peloton ride Wednesday morning, woohoo! Riding live at 7am with Ally if you want to join!

A Comforting Braised Pig Feet Recipe Perfect for Your Pressure Cooker

Image
Louiie Victa Chef Jenny Dorsey’s recipe is a testament to the trotter’s versatility When I go grocery shopping, I always look for pig feet. In the sea of unrecognizably standard-looking cuts of animal muscles at grocery stores — disk-shaped loins, round humps of pork butt — trotters are always the anomaly. They look most precisely as they were: feet, hooves, the tired bones and tissue that kept an animal upright its whole life. Unfortunately for pig feet, their look hasn’t exactly made them a popular part of the mainstream American diet. As Cecil Adams wrote back in 2016, one of the challenges in encouraging more Americans to consume offal and organ meat is that “organs resemble, well, body parts: any steak slapped on a plate looks like dinner, while a lovingly presented calf heart may suggest an autopsy.” And, Adams added, there’s the “socioeconomic stigma…that had a racial component too,” which is only exacerbated by “travelogue shows [like] Bizarre Foods .” Despite being mali...

Beyond Impossible: The Sanitarium and World War II Past of Meat Substitutes

Image
Photo by Tom Kelley/Getty Images We’ve come a long way from John Harvey Kellogg’s “protose cutlets” It’s no stretch to say that fake meat is having a moment . With the popularity of brands such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat joining fast-food menus and grocery store aisles alike, plant-based meats are no longer seen as a sad option for vegetarians long denied flavor with meat substitutes (though, as we know, plenty of vegetarian food is packed with flavor), but for anyone who enjoys a good burger, fried chicken, or nuggets. But are meat substitutes really the future of eating? Maybe by necessity as food resources run out, but not likely by choice. In fact, despite the big money raked in by Impossible and Beyond over the past few years, industrial meat consumption in America is actually on the rise. This week on Gastropod , Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley see how the not-sausage gets made, with visits to the Impossible Meat lab and Meati , a Colorado-based start-up that’...

Without Government Aid, Americans in Need Are Shoplifting Food Essentials

Image

Stimulus checks, rent and mortgage cancelation, and universal health care have all been on the table. But aside from $1,200 months ago, we’ve gotten none of that, and the latest stimulus package is woefully inadequate. So, as the Washington Post reports , more people than ever have resorted to stealing essentials like bread, baby formula, and diapers to survive. Honestly, what did the government expect? WaPo says there’s been a 45 percent increase in the number of Americans facing hunger this year, up to 54 million people. Lines at food banks have been miles long for months, with many saying that mutual aid groups and donations can’t keep up with demand . And with SNAP and WIC programs cut back,...
