Also John Adams, who might not have been a shitbag!

Adams never owned a slave and declined on principle to use slave labor, saying:

I have, through my whole life, held the practice of slavery in such abhorrence, that I have never owned a negro or any other slave, though I have lived for many years in times, when the practice was not disgraceful, when the best men in my vicinity thought it not inconsistent with their character, and when it has cost me thousands of dollars for the labor and subsistence of free men, which I might have saved by the purchase of negroes at times when they were very cheap.[324]

I know we're living in the future because it's 95° fahrenheit at 8:30 pm.

Screencap of a weather app showing that it's 95° and 107° feels like in Philadelphia right now.

I swear I'm not throwing shade or gatekeeping, but somebody made Max Miller *entirely* too much knife for a person who's never worked in a professional kitchen.

A picture of my TV screen showing Max Miller of Tasting History holding a fuggin' ludicrously large handmade chef's knife. It's gorgeous and clearly hand-hammered, but it's like three inches tall at the butt.

Sneaking a quick grill in before the rain.

Rosie knew all about it.

made a crunchwrap. beef brie and beans

A debatably useful shot of a flour tortilla folded over itself. There's a baked corn tortilla, some seared ground beef, and some sauteed refried beans wrapped inside.

The aforementioned flour tortilla construction toasting in a pan.

A cross section of homemade crunchwrap because I've taken some munches out of it. There are layers of seasoned ground beef, shredded brie and pepper jack cheese, a small baked corn tortilla, and a layer of refried beans.

Following along with this, this might be my best batch of chicken stock yet.

Two four quart cambros mostly filled and a 32 ounce glass jar full with cloudy, rich looking chicken stock.

Trying to resurrect this thread accurately, but as part of my #funemployment I'm gonna explore the various whole chickens available around the city to find a favorite. Tonight is Godshall's. Hard to color, definitely water-chilled, but tasty with a clean flavor. A lil squishy, too much moisture.

A whole chicken prepped for an overnight dry brine with kosher salt, black pepper, and baking soda. There's an unfortunate hole torn in one side of the breast skin, it came like that and is a pretty big point off.

The same chicken (spatchcocked) now roasted. The color isn't great, kind of splotchy and uneven. It took forever to get the breast to temp, I think probably because of the water-chilling.

Two bowls, one of simple broiled asparagus with garlic and chardonnay vinegar and the other of flash seared sugar peas with soy sauce and toasted sesame seeds.

A bit colorful plate full of a partially broken down roasted kitchen. It's...pretty tasty! But kind of unremarkable.

post a picture of yourself from the past that puts you in a light people on here wouldn't expect (It's a pic of me brushing my teeth in a 1.0 #Phish parking lot so it's maybe not that unexpected)

A pic of me and my friend brushing our teeth out back of my 1990 Subaru legacy wagon deep on 1998 Summer Phish Tour. Maybe it's Burgettstown? I've laid an emoji over his face because he's not #onhere

Alright it's been a while since I cooked anything meaningful and interesting but tonight I'm singing in the key of baked ziti and I'm cautiously optimistic

A baking dish full of pasta and cheese and red sausage sauce covered in, if I'm being honest more than humble, a really lovely layer of broiled mozzarella

I had forgotten how small Union Transfer is and we sort of inadvertantly got into line "too early" soooooooo we're pretty close #Phish

I have generous friends, so my birthday celebration has already begun.

Stainless steel restaurant servingware with mussels in white broth, a few empty mussel shells in another bowl, a basket of pommes frites with remoulade, and a glass of dark sour beer (duchesse, if you're wondering)

It's just warm enough that were having this kind of night at my house.

Fourth watch of the season for Muppets Christmas Carol, for the snoozy guests after extra brothy and vinegary black eyed peas

Anyway we're getting serious about NYE treats #Phish

My kitchen with a big chocolatey cake sliced but not served, a bottle of cheap champers, and three big stemmed wine glasses full of fizzy wine. You can't hear it but the new years eve #Phish show is on in the background.

My dad and stepmom's church do this little global market jawn every year ahead of Christmas, and less importantly it's actually a wicked good oil, but also this is like year six or seven that she's given us a bottle, and the fact that it's still in production after all of everything means a lot.

Wow I wasn't aware that 30th Street Station kindaaaaaaa sucks right now

The usually glorious interior of 30th Street Station with its sky-high ceiling except right now literally everything is covered in scaffolding and a lot of the seating is gone. There's an automat-like kiosk in the foreground that's supposedly a replacement for the newsstand.

I have completely thrashed the threading on this, but here's the outcome of my first time hosting Thanksgiving at my own house for my sister and niece.
