And this miso salmon never fails me!

5-Minute Miso Glazed Salmon Recipe
This is one of the easiest, least messy, fastest ways to cook salmon. Once you have it marinated, it's a matter of minutes in the toaster oven or broiler before it's ready to eat.

Butter chicken gets naan, made in the pizza oven. I loosely follow this recipe

Grilled Naan Recipe
You could go out and buy yourself a tandoor oven (small ones run about $200 or so), but here's a better suggestion: Just grill it. It works so well for pizza, why shouldn't it do just as well for naan...

This is the cake from @nigella.bsky.social and it is SOOOO good. I've been making this for 15 years. Freezes wonderfully if you want to make 2x and then have an amazing treat for you in the freezer!

The ideal conference outfit doesn’t exi-
A still from a Thom Browne runway show of a person with an alien mask on holding up a little sign with a green bar on. They are dressed in a gray outfit with a white button down and tie, where the jacket has multiple arms and the pants have multiple legs, wearing platform heeled shoes that look like saddle shoes.
