Rat's Nest Week 14

Enjoy!!!!

• The Best Party Guest- is who brings the cake. On a time crunch but still want to be impressive? Bring a cake from Yossy Arefi’s book snacking cakes- no mixers, fancy pans, or multiple bowls needed.

• Bingeworthy- Bridgerton has been #1 on the Netflix global rankings for 5 weeks in a row. If you’re watching it and decide (like everybody else) that you can’t get enough of Nicola Coughlan, then Derry Girls is your next move. It’s a sitcom set in Northern Ireland in the 90s, and I’m going to absolutely butcher describing it so I’ll leave the trailer linked here.

• The return of our Lorde- Charli xcx dropped a remix of her song “Girl, so confusing” featuring Lorde and it is painfully good. Can’t stop listening on repeat. Rat Girl Summer playlist coming soon. Throwback to when this interviewer thought Charli was Lorde (yikes).

☀️ SKY’S OUT THIGHS OUT

To my 15 male subscribers- this includes you too. As long as the outfit doesn’t involve flip flops. Those are almost never okay unless you’re very near a body of water (and even then, are they really ok?)

• Surgeon general's social media warning raises eyebrows (Axios)- The Surgeon General is “declaring war on social media” and is officially saying he wants warning labels on social media apps claiming they cause significant harm to teens. Are we ready to put social media on the same level as cigarettes? Anyways, you know what he isn’t calling for a warning label on? Newsletters, like ✨ this one ✨.

• Look, unless you live under a rock you know ramen-haired boyband star Justin Timberlake got arrested for driving while under the influence of…. literally everything last week. The kid who arrested him didn’t even know who he was when JT told him the charge was going to ruin his world tour (lol, but also makes me feel like a fossil- how does he not know???)

What makes this recipe great is that it actually only takes about 20 minutes to throw together. No, of course it does not taste like a perfectly authentic Halal Cart chicken salad, but for 20 minutes of work it’s close enough. If Epicurious is blocking you from seeing the recipe, just open it up in a private/incognito window and you should be good to go :)

Signing off with a poppi mocktail,
