Alison Roman has been suspended by the NY Times for comments she made about Chrissy Teigen. Imho it was bad judgement, not racism, Teigen is Thai/Norwegian mix. NY Times didn't want outright fire her, she very popular, the backlash would have been very bad especially after the Bon Appettit fiasco. She was a food editor for them but left three years ago. Now she has a her own YT channel called Home Movies.
Ricotta in meatballs, interesting.

Alison apologized, it was dumb. Chrissy Teigen is a Double Supe , both hot and cool at the same time.

We can say that Bon Appettit is officially kaput.

Upon further investigation, Alison Roman's words came out of frustration not malice. Teigen is as smart as she is sexy. Since I haven't bought an SI issue in decades, I didn't know who she was. Can't blame the girl for following the same business model as Martha Stewart and Lidia Bastianich. Alison made a formal apology on Instagram, there are no hard feeling, tutti a tavola a mangiare insieme.
In my old single and broke days, kraft dinner was my go to at least 3 days a week, not the best pasta but at 39cents a pack it got me thru payday to payday. Lately I have been buying a pre cooked macaroni and cheese dish, brand name is Resers at Sobeys which I find quite good, way better than K D @ $4.95 and goes great with my pre cooked Swiss Chalet Ribs. Very affordable for an old retired fart like me thanks to my OA Pension. LOL.
When I was living on Springhurst in Parkdale with the Iroquois Falls Gang, I used to subsist on Libby's and KD. If I got backed up, it was a problem - the bathroom was communal. I would go the McDumpies on King - Dufferin and have a Big Mac, cleaned me right out. Occasionaly, if I had extra cash, I would treat myself to a meal at the Dufferin Gate Diner or a roti at Bacchus. It was a learning experience that I would never trade. Someone I would come to know later lived in the Jameson apartment complex. That was dangerous, those apartment buildings are the asshole of Toronto.
You are correct about those apartment buildings now, but I grew up in parkdale in the 1950s, lived on Dowling Ave. and then on O'Hara Ave. just north of Queen. At that time Jameson Ave. apartments were the classiest buildings in the city. By the way, my parents owned a restaurant on Queen near Brock called Kay's Hideaway. Lots of old memories.
I used to lie at 4 Springhurst, Google mapped it, it looks to have been restored. The building across Dufferin St has been restored as well, it was abandoned and covered over with ivy. In the early 80's Parkdale was a total dump, now Liberty Village has been completely gentrified. Take5 Productions (Vikings, The Handmaid's Tale) has their home office on Atlantic Av south of Lamport Stadium. I used to greet Sweet Daddy Siki on my way to work in the morning. Adam Copeland logged 25 episodes of Vikings, securing an acting career for himself. Yet he can't get wrestling out of his blood and will now be headlining Wrestlemania.

You are right about the area being a dump in the 80s. But back in the late 50 & 60s the area which is now Liberty Village consisted of many factories such as GE, lamp division, Irwin Toys, Stafford Foods and others. Also on King St. east of Dufferin St. was Massy Ferguson a builder of farm equipment including tractors. Liberty Street back then was a dead end street and you could not drive from Dufferin St. to Strachan Ave. Do you remember when Dufferin St. at Queen was also a dead end and you have to go east under the railway pass to Gladstone Ave. to go north. Back then the Gladstone Hotel was also a dump.
I recently bought a food mill, works better than a food processor...but that's not why I'm posting.
Would you eat Kate Ovens ass after she's eaten a Ghost Peppper...we're tough guys, just a small matter of pain.

You can't go wrong with that.
Excellent as well.
That's right up my alley. Although if it's a super tender ribeye, I'll go closer to rare. A bit tougher and I prefer medium rare. Fuck this is making me hungry, and thirsty.

Cast iron is best for grilling meat and making breakfast, I invested in several Le Cruiset cooking pots - total bill $700.00. Worth it if you've ever fried an egg in one. After I grill a steak, seasoned with garlic salt and fresh pepper, I allow it to rest for a minimum of three minutes anything less than that and the juices run out. And I uncork a nice bottle of Barbaresco naturally. Brunello Montepulciano is the best steak wine but it runs for $110.00.
Kate Ovens is a sexy peach, thick in all the right places. With Tottenham's Ledley King.
