WORD OF MOUTH - UBE ICE CREAM

G(AG) Jeff Sessions Once upon a time, Jeff Sessions was too racist to be a federal judge. Instead, Republicans confirmed him as Attorney General late last night, making him the most powerful lawyer in the country. Press Secretary Sean Spicer went so far as to suggest that Coretta Scott King, who furiously spoke out against Sessions years ago, would support his nomination if she were alive today. You read that correctly. CREDIT: AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster Trump’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Judge Neil Gorsuch, is a staunch conservative. Which makes his sharp criticism of Trump’s attacks on the judiciary all the more impactful — and Trump isn’t taking it well at all. Reading List A judge has ordered the NYPD to disclose its surveillance records of Black Lives Matter activists.  Eliminating mental health care coverage will cause a crisis for millions. Betsy DeVos’ first speech as Education Secretary was completely devoid of policy. She did have time for a bear joke, though. Soundbite “There is a mood of rebellion in America. The majority of working people in America are in no mood to negotiate with Trump. This movement is going to grow in that context as well.” — Seattle Councilmember Kshama Sawant, whose city is finding new ways to resist the Dakota Access pipeline ThinkProgress | CAP Action Fund 1333 H ST NW | Washington, DC 20005 Contributions to Center for American Progress Action Fund are not tax deductible Donate | Manage Email Options | Privacy Policy | Unsubscribe This email was sent to tokic.stjepan719@gmail.com.

"They speak of my drinking, but never think of my thirst."—Scottish Proverb Ube ice cream, NYC @pmelnick   Raw blueberry cheesecake, London @alphafoodie Calamari & cauliflower, Tokyo @cafe_uguisu How many tuna sandwiches can $5 million buy? Stephen Starr seems to singlehandedly create restaurant renaissances. He revitalized Philadelphia's dining scene in the 1990s, lured hipsters to NYC's Meatpacking District with Morimoto and is now bewitching New Yorkers with old-school service at Le Coucou. Though he admits he could live on tuna sandwiches alone, Starr dreamed up Le Coucou as a homage to fine dining details such as white tablecloths and waiters who might just persuade you to order the extravagant whole rabbit chef Daniel Rose cooks up. Diners might revel in the bent wood chairs and rustic-chic chandeliers, but this luxury didn't come cheap. "Financially [Le Coucou] will never be a big success…the amount we spent [on construction] was extreme—around $5 million. But I didn't do it to make a lot of money." Good thing tuna sandwiches don't break the bank. MEET STEPHEN [The Philadelphia Inquirer] The foods that conflicts create Although Sicily's famous caponata tastes like a harmonious blend of eggplant, tomatoes and capers, its origins are far from tranquil. Arab invaders introduced the ingredients to the Mediterranean isle in the 9th century during a failed attempt to convert the locals to Islam. This story isn't limited to Italy—many iconic national dishes result from global exchange. Another example is Japan's ramen and curry rice, which came about via Chinese and British conflicts, respectively. Something to think about during these turbulent times. READ MORE [Smithsonian Magazine] For the grownup hot dog & 'kraut lover in you Think of choucroute garnie as France's version of a hotdog with all the fixin's. It hails from Alsace on France's border with Germany and has all the heft and delicacy you'd expect for a dish caught between the two cultures. Choucroute garnie combines several cuts of fresh pork with bacon, ham, sausages, sauerkraut and a healthy glug of white wine for a stick-to-your-ribs dinner. While the long ingredient list might look intimidating, once you finish shopping the worst is behind you—simply cook the meats, wash your 'kraut and stew them together. And don't forget to and invite all your friends to help beast this porky cabbage feast. GET THE RECIPE [Serious Eats] Revel in croissants, camembert and crepes during a 6 night luxury Paris getaway!
