I absolutely love this recipe from Bon Appetite mag. I craved this during pregnancy, and I still crave it now. The trick to this is searing your chicken well before roasting for that perfect crispy skin.

Fascinating: From The Economist, this article illustrates through statistical data that being obese makes one prone to earn less than the average; obesity = not having a bachelor’s degree.

-The bacon craze was not started in Brooklyn/Oakland.

-And you thought mesh strainers were only for making cheese.

Ate at this spot in Milwaukee’s 3rd Ward with a friend recently- Loved the menu. Although I wanted to order everything, we ended up sharing the rabbit rillette, the steak tartare, a roasted cauliflower salad, and lard covered mixed nuts with hints of cinnamon. We washed it all down with a dry rosé. They also feature charcuterie, which I will have to come back for….
