Tuesday Things.

1. Today is the DAY!! Lacy, my life long BFF, cousin, faux sister and everything is getting married TONIGHT! I can’t even wait and it is going to be the party of the decade. Best way to kick off a new year.

2. This winter citrus pavlova looks incredible.

3. I am really sad for the holidays to end. Max and Emilia are just at the perfect age – it’s absolutely magical and it’s the first season that I’ve felt like we’re reaching the peak. Like that this won’t last forever, that they will be grown soon. Especially Max! I’m not ready for it to end.

4. At the same time, I DESPERATELY NEED REAL FOOD. Like to be back in the routine of eating normal dinner without chex mix and pretzels and random cookies lying around. Oooomph.

5. Okay, I am in deep with The Americans. I’m at the end of season 3 already! I also almost finished You. What a creepfest! But one I can’t stay away from.

6. What to do once you’ve decluttered your life.

7. The kids were kind of sick last week and I was on the verge of getting it. We’ve spent the last two Christmases sick, so I tried to take it easy and ended up reading so much. I reread Elin’s winter in paradise series and finished Nancy Thayer’s let it snow. My winter reading list is coming on Thursday, and I’m excited to bring new book features to the blog in 2020!

8. I love this every year: the best photos of 2019.

9. What are your resolutions for the new year? And do you want to see a post on mine? I tend to do one each year and could get to it this coming weekend.

10. Plus, 7 podcasts to help you reach your goals!

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

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,...
