I saw "The Taste of Things" this weekend, splurged for the big screen. Worth every penny.

Chili, my friend. No, it's not really beach food. However; it's kids, they can be ok with it. My vote is chili.

I have a love-hate relationship with the term "fatback". Honestly? I have no idea whether this is even a term that is used outside of African-American dialect. But I grew up with it, and was appalled at each and every utterance. Which should not be confused with a rejection of its seasoning . . . . Also? "Poke" prompts terror. This is not irrational though -- it's because, when poke became stylish in lower Manhattan, you would get served something perfectly described as "slop". **I have been to Hawaii, and had bona fide poke, which would never bring "slop" to mind. I guess I am only terrorized by the term "poke" anywhere outside of Hawaii.

^^ This. We need the details!

I collected my half-pig this week, and they sent along some of the organs: heart; liver; kidney; and the tongue (which I realize is not an organ). I'm fixin' to grow, y'all!!

I have to eat this ham that's been in my freezer forever, since the new ham is coming in this weekend (along with the rest of the pig). I am inclined to do the horseradish/mustard/citrus notion upthread, but I just thought I'd check: any new thinking on ham glazing??

I loved Montrachet enough to travel from Alabama for my 30s birthday dinners there. At the time, I had to come to NYC about 3 times a year for work, and saved up for fine dining per Reichl recs. It was, honestly, a wonderful way to, you know, budget.

I thought the game was, like, the US version of "Keep Calm and Carry On." [not that I ate any British food. I ate chili, dutifully.]. Anyway. Any championship that goes to the last play is just, well, excellent. Happy Kansas, @Shelby. I may have to fry up some parts, in honor. [Also, ahem: I have to get some room in this freezer, my pig is coming . . . .]

Chili and cornbread, every year. Super boring, but I'm not ever the actual host, so I just have to deal. I have to root for the 49ers in honor of a beloved late friend, who lived for that team. But I like Kelce, Mahomes, and Taylor Swift, so I think I'm gonna enjoy myself.

Last night I made a recipe from Food52 for dark chocolate olive oil banana bread -- why not? Anyway, it calls for half a cup of cocoa powder, and a pile of chipped up dark chocolate. The batter is deep and dark. And it instructs one to bake the loaf until "golden brown". ?! I went with the good ole "pulling away from the sides".

I don't know where our Heidi was on the Ukraine mess; but I wanted to discuss clematis with her yesterday, bad. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/07/realestate/ukraine-gardener-clematis-flowers.html And, I ordered plants for my spring/summer windowboxes, and I wanted to show her my 2024 orange-theory. Heidi was kind to me -- specifically, patient -- in a place of myself I discovered at 50.

Well, I'm glad you did your research before paying for it. I usually find out after the fact, sadly. -

@TdeV, it's worth the money, once your recipe collections gets past a certain point. -

Me neither. I'll be on the lookout, thanks for the heads up. -
I am eating White Beans in Sauce with fried eggs on top. I am very happy, considering that I overslept and will not be going skiing on a bluebird day when it's actually snowed not all that far from me. I think I am straying off topic, though.
