1. Who ever thought that March would feel longer than January?! Pretty sure April might feel twice as long.

2. Really want to make these spicy egg roll bowls.

3. One thing I’m loving to do every day is watch Maria Shriver’s live instagram. She usually has on guests and while some are celebs, it doesn’t give you that feeling of watching celebs in their giant homes have a quarantine vacation. It’s really inspiring and enjoyable.

4. How to give yourself a mental break.

5. TV things!! How brutal was This Is Us last week? That fight BROKE my heart. And a Million Little Things! I loved the episode but am SO over Maggie, can’t even believe the baby storyline and the ending. Crazy. ALSO – we watched Tiger King (who else feels like it’s practically Kenny Powers, real life?) last week in one sitting (omg) and we’re halfway through Ozark. Have you watched either?

6. This is the best: some good news with John Krasinski.

7. I’ve read lots of articles about people putting up Christmas lights/trees to bring joy to these days. I actually think it’s a fun idea because we rarely get to sit home and just enjoy the lights/tree in December, but can’t even imagine dragging it out and putting it away. Ha.

8. But on the other hand, I’m basically cooking like it’s the holiday season SO WHY NOT. Gotta reel it in.

9. 57 things to do with friends besides catching up. This is good.

10. Where is the first place you want to go when this is over?

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
Photo: Niloo /Shutterstock Plus, Colin Kaepernick gets his own Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, and more news to start your day More people admit to shoplifting what they need to survive Since the pandemic began, Americans have called for relief for individuals and small businesses. 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,...
