You always think it can’t happen in your enlightened multicultural metropolis, we’re better than this, then you realize that the woman was guilty of the heinous crime of being Asian American. #StopAsianHateCrimesradio.com/1010wins/news/…
You always think it can’t happen in your enlightened multicultural metropolis, but then you remember that, even to some of our fellow New Yorkers, Asians will never be American. #StopAsianHateCrimesnypost.com/2021/03/22/asi…
You always think it can’t happen in your enlightened multicultural metropolis, we’re better than this, then some coward punches your sister because she had the gall to attend a rally meant to shore up our community’s flagging morale. #StopAsianHateCrimesabc7ny.com/man-charged-wi…

Abbreviated #CookingForLieutenants thread tonight. Making crispy oven “fried” chicken. There’s a trick to making a dish that, by all rights, should have your cardiologist researching a new fishing boat.
2. That trick is in the 3rd step of the standard breading process, as I learned it in culinary school before the earth cooled. That traditional process is: flour, then egg wash, then breadcrumbs.
3. Et voilá. From right to left, a bag of all purpose flour mixed with salt, white pepper, garlic powder, & onion powder; egg wash; Italian breadcrumbs mixed with more garlic & onion powder.
I have very rarely allowed racist attacks on my community to affect me. Long’s massacre was bad enough, but to hear the @CherokeeSO explain it away as if the victims’ lives didn’t matter has been nothing less than infuriating. #Atlanta#StopAAPIHate#StopAsianHate
When do Asian Americans’ lives matter, @CherokeeSO Sheriff Reynolds? Like, do we have to wait our turn, in case another white man with far too easy access to a pistol has a “bad day?” Or should we just accept racially motivated violence as our lot in life? I’ll wait.
The last time I was chilled by law enforcement blaming the victim like this, was when the NYPD accused Abner Louima of instigating the brutality that 4 officers visited upon him.
I have no idea why Generation X is trending, but here goes. “Dedicated” child care meant my mom made sure I had the apartment keys in my trouser pocket before I walked by myself to school, & that a Swanson TV dinner was thawing the oven, in case she had to work late.
By 3rd grade, I’d learned how to use my mom’s makeup so she wouldn’t (at least, immediately) notice a black eye or bruised cheek from a fight with a racist bully when she came home. How to treat swelling & bleeding.
By 8th grade, I’d learned how to do my own laundry, which came in handy when I needed to wash my football & baseball uniforms, to wear during games my parents didn’t attend.
#PSA: I’m not personally a fan of Champagne, but please, people - I’m begging you, with tears in my eyes - there is far better & far less expensive bubbly than Cristal or Dom Pérignon.

You really can’t go wrong with California sparkling wine, which is made in the méthode champenoise, the traditional method of making sparkling wine in Champagne. Roederer Estate from Louis Roederer has been a staple of my wine lists for almost 20 years.
