We say goodbye to actor, filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner.
A dedicated storyteller with sincerity that imbued his prolific work and the causes he believed in, Reiner’s heartfelt portrayal of the human condition reminds us of the power of film and its abilities to stay with us.

Probably my last visit to Palmer's. Another of my favorite taverns will soon be closing its doors. Hitting it hard tonight. Will always remember the $5 dollar huge shots of Chartreuse they used to serve.

Cedar Rapids and Iowa City don’t want Des Moines to get all the attention, I guess. Don’t let anyone tell you this is normal or the way it has to be. Rivers brimming with nitrate, hundreds of thousands of consumers with water supplies on the brink, and shameful silence from our leaders.

I keep hearing comments like “I plan to ignore it for the next four years”.

So adding tomatoes, croutons, and American cheese makes it "California" style? So exotic

First Detroit style using my new spiral mixing attachment. Don't notice much of a difference overall, but it did a great job of bringing the dough together.

Two weeks ago I ate the best fried shrimp of my life in Georgia. Tonight, Georgia born Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves start the western conference finals.
Heck of a couple weeks

Au Gratin Potatoes or Cheesey Potato Hot Dish?
Either way, I'm pumped to be eating them for a few days

Got the results of her biopsy and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Now she just needs her hair to grow back and everything will be normal. Such a relief

If Memphis can pull this off, we could get a Kings/Warriors elimination game. That is exactly what the NBA needs

Obligatory bottle of Grüner on pizza night. This one is tried and true. Available at a few shops around town. Sometimes even chilled

NY style pies tonight. Will take 75 grams of dough out next time so they get stretched thinner for 12 inch pizzas. Mine was in about a minute too long. Used that info to make my wife's pizza a better cook. Life comes at you quickly at 550 degrees.

Was worried it would be a gimmick with the Klimt art on the label.
Really really nice. Salty pears up front with a bone dry finish.
Will pick up another bottle if I see it around.

First go at a Sicilian style pie on this fine Sunday. Used a Detroit pan because it's what we have. Was a battle on mixing day with the 86% hydration, highest I've ever gone. Was surprisingly easy to handle today. Had enough spare dough to make a little focaccia loaf.

I have two cousins who were under 18 that received SS benefits after their mother died from cancer.
These dummkopfs don't even know how the systems they're destroying work.

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security
Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.
