Some artichoke hearts in lemon water because we’re making Patricia Wells’s peasant version of Guy Savoy’s artichoke soup
Sautée two shallots in olive oil with a pinch of salt
Add a little more olive oil and the artichoke hearts
Pour in a cup of white wine and turn the heat up. Reduce fir 7 minutes or so
Add 3 cups chicken stock (@hels’s double stock works especially well here), reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes
Purée with an immersion blender (or your device of choice.) it will be excellent served as is, even better if you whisk in a little butter and lemon juice
Ladel and serve with a few thin slices of hard Italian cheese and chives. 😋
You don’t have to serve it with ham and cornichons on a baguette but I recommend it

Can we please cut this shit out. "I also don't like certain things about how the DHS operates, so when RFK SHAKES THINGS UP maybe he will do it in a sensible manner I approve of" is the kind of delusional thinking that leads you to President Donald J. Trump in the first place
"When Biden said he would end the war in Afghanistan, he actually meant that he would end all military conflict in the world forever" isn't even goalpost moving, it's like saying the Florida Panthers promised to win the Stanley Cup but are losers because the Marlins are 43-73
Sorry, the scale of drone warfare -- by far the most important metric in determining the hawkishness of a president 10 years ago -- by random coincidence permanently ceased to be a meaningful variable on January 21, 2017. I don't make the rules
"James Comey was in the tank for Hillary Clinton" ROFL. Glenn really should reconsider the "tweeting about dogs in Portuguese" approach to days when something bad happens for his political side
One point to add is that it was incredibly stupid of Comey to think his statement would help clarify why Clinton wasn't indicted (i.e. because nobody ever has been for comparable conduct.) Inevitably, the only message people got was "extremely careless" lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2023/06/how-ar…
As Patrick Deneen is making the rounds with a new book generating credulous coverage for claims that "post-liberal" reactionaries are actually more egalitarian than liberals, keep this in mind:
The Biden administration is enacting exactly the kind of pro-labor, pro-domestic manufacturing, pro-environmental industrial policy Deneen and his allies claim to want, and they don't care at all: lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2023/06/the-re…
Instead, Deneen's actual friends and allies are all politicians who supported Trump's upper-class tax cuts and Trump's efforts to take healthcare away from tens of millions of people to pay for even more upper-class tax cuts: politico.com/news/magazine/…
It’s worth noting that the only reason Trump is the first former president to be indicted is that Gerald Ford unwisely preempted them lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2023/06/its-th…
Ford's pardon was very unpopular -- indeed, it probably cost him re-election -- and should not be seen as establishing some kind of American constitutional tradition that former presidents should be above the law.
Plainly, Alabama should never have panicked and brought in Vladimir Myshkin to start the second period
Meanwhile, in dissent Alito offers the “Martin Luther King’s entire career consisted of one speech which consisted of one sentence” school of statutory interpretation
