Rat's Nest Week 15

15 weeks of Ratfoolery + scurrying around. Thanks for being here :)

Enjoy!!!!

• Real Hot Girl Sh*t- Megan Thee Stallion dropped her new album, Megan (woop woop). I won’t lie to you, it’s a little raunchy but the beats are so, so good- especially for working out.

• The Swiss army knife of your kitchen- A bench scraper. I went most of my adult life without one and refuse to ever live like that again. Use it for transporting chopped veggies, cutting dough, scraping scraps off of the counter, etc.

• Yes Chef- Trigger warning if you’ve ever worked in a restaurant- but season 3 of The Bear just dropped on Hulu. Kind of hard to look at Jeremy Allen White after his thirst trap Calvin Klein campaign though.

🤡 no i did not eat any beignets why do u ask

😌 pretend i do not see

• Gassy cows and pigs will face a carbon tax in Denmark, the first country to do so (NPR)- Last week Denmark announced it will soon implement a tax on…. cow farts. Turns out cows are a major source of methane (via farts), which is one of the largest contributors to climate change. If the tax ever comes here and gets passed on to human farts, you have my word that I will stop recommending bean salads and fiber bars.

• What's going on with Starliner spacecraft? Boeing, NASA insist astronauts are not 'stranded.' (Yahoo! News)- Imagine you’re told you are going to the boonies for 10 days and then it turns into 45 tops… then 90 tops? That’s what’s going on here.

• Chicken Larb Bowls- I’ve made this at least 7 times and it’s great and fits my definition of “easy enough” for a weeknight dinner

• Corn Pops- You know how there are all these foods you eat as a child, then when you try them as an adult they’re disgusting and you’re not sure how you ever consumed them? This isn’t one of them. Still gotta have my pops.

Signing off with my new foster dog in my lap,

Kate
