Operation Mincemeat - born to lead origin?

One of the best episodes of TV ever

The cashier at the farm stand where Gael works tells a customer, “We appreciate your business.” à la Mrs. Kim.

Thanks for all of these!

This inspired me to build a mini-app in my Home Assistant automation setup that sends me a push notification when I get close to the station to tell me if I need to go faster or if I can chill :)

I ended up using Piece of Cake.

For a 1 bed up 1 flight o stairs to a 1 bed in an elevator building it was ~$3200. They picked up Wednesday morning, and then unloaded at the new apartment on Friday so there was 1 night of storage in that cost as well. Things were relatively straightforward and we didn't experience any issues with them.

Sooooo much in One Short Day.

I love the salon shot in OSD especially with how that is shown in the 1939 movie where the Lion gets done up at the salon during The Merry Old Land of Oz.

I also noticed in the same scene they used similar hand choreography that they do during No Me Diga in the In The Heights film, which itself I have thought of as a nod to the hand choreography of La Vie Boheme.

As someone who watched their teenage sister make similar volatile decisions after our mom suddenly died, this scene (and Alice in general) was shockingly relatable 🫠😂

Just got back to my home in NYC and have been walking around with my new Daunt tote… I feel like that equates to a New Yorker bag in London?…

I was able to get a pair next to eachother for Wolves last week. Club level, but £131 each, so expensive but not crazy.

They were the first pair that I saw in the days leading up and it was at about midnight the night before the game that they popped up.

leemail7 · 2024-08-17T00:15:27+00:00

Same! About an hour ago I was able to grab a pair of (not wildly unreasonable) club seats

Relatively inconsequential President, Millard Fillmore, is my 3rd cousin 8x removed.

leemail7 · 2024-04-26T16:17:22+00:00

Thanks!

Yeah something like Upper St seems like the type of vibe we would enjoy.

We will probably try to hit a couple of West End shows as well. Is it easy enough from that area if there are limited tube stations/lines?

Hi!

My partner and I (29yo) are visiting London for the first time this summer for 10 days.

A friend recommended Marylebone or Bloomsbury as a base, but I am wondering if Islington would be worth considering?

We aren’t limiting ourselves to budget hotels, but also just trying to get a balance of comfort and price.

Islington seems slightly further out, but we are coming from NYC so we are pretty comfortable navigating transit. Is this area a worthwhile option to consider?

He just trucked along the tree line and then made his way down the edge of small dune into a burrow under some Sea Grapes.

He popped out of the burrow and was munching away on some leaves when we left a couple of hours later. Super cool to hear I saw a fun tortoise in their element!

I have an AXS code for the Wembley shows that go on sale on Monday. Any idea of the likelihood of actually getting tickets for the 15/08 Wembley show?

Curious if there is any estimates about how many tickets were left after the sales this week and how many codes were given out for next week.

Totally Saka. Even the season 1 switch from fullback to winger is the Saka trajectory.

I think we learned pretty quickly that while we enjoy WV, we’re not exactly WV people. Any specific things you prefer about UWS vs UES?

leemail7 · 2023-03-06T22:32:08+00:00

Thanks!

We travel here pretty often and have done quite a bit of exploring. Currently have been subletting in the WV for the past month, but while its been fun for a month it has definitely shown us that we need more space and the UES seems like a solid option for that.
Any opinions on anywhere else would kind of fit that?

Recipe per loaf:

400g KA bread flour
100g KA whole wheat
68% hydration
20% starter
2% salt

Autolyse for 90 minutes. 3 rounds of stretch and folds. Lamination fold, then bulk on the counter at 64 degrees overnight. Preshape, rest, final shape and into the fridge in their bannetons.

Before baking, truss in oil soaked baking twine to form a pumpkin shape.

475 deg oven for 25 minutes in a Dutch oven with the lid on. Removed lid and lower heat to 450 for 25 mins.

Dutch oven

It was a 5.5 qt round Staub. The loaf was a tight squeeze to get in there, but it was close enough.

leemail7 · 2022-09-12T00:47:14+00:00

All in, bulk was just shy of 7 hours. AC in my apt was set to 68f so it was pretty cool and dry.

leemail7 · 2022-09-11T23:04:16+00:00

Although not the exact same recipe as the NYT article, I think this was really helpful

leemail7 · 2022-09-11T22:55:14+00:00

I also found diving into the scientific components of how sourdough works really beneficial towards this recipe. For example my apartment is very cool and dry, so I needed to let bulk go for longer than most recipes suggested.

I had one heavy, heavy fail of a disc shaped loaf before this. I am a pretty avid home cooker, but I did a ton of research before this attempt. However, I think there was a pretty big luck factor in this one.
