I read Station Eleven from this website's recommendation in the early days of the End Times. I found it oddly cathartic in how it bounced back between worlds from before and after the outbreak. It was all very calming to me - except for The Prophet. Fuck that guy, I don't care who his parents are.
I want to let you know that we finally made the Jules Verne tonight. It is, indeed, a banger, and I’m almost certainly going to have another after the kids go to sleep.
I finally got off the wait list on Overdrive for Station Eleven in May. I read it and loved it, but second the opinion that now is not exactly the time. Another maybe-dont-read-this-during-an-actual-pandemic book that I read this year (I make good choices) was Moon of the Crusted Snow, which is set in a First Nation community in northern Canada, when suddenly the power goes out and their grocery supplies stop. It's another fantastic book that I would recommend putting in a time capsule until These Uncertain Times are over.

Very excited for all the confusing looks I’m going to get while wearing the Kentuckiana Hot Loin shirt
Just tell 'em to go to HOT LOIN DOT COM.
(Seriously. I bought the URL.)
Almost just went to Hot Loin Dot Com here at work - but thought better of it just in case you're joking.
It’s real! It takes you to the newsletter.
Your prudence is wise, but I actually am not joking--it just redirects straight to the newsletter mainpage.
"Sooner or later, someone is going to pioneer a vegetarian or vegan Hot Loin" I have been putting thought into this.
Vegetarian here. Do it!
I really want to see it. I'm not sure how, but I believe in you.
I'd think you could do it with either THICC-cut eggplant or a cauliflower "steak"?
Cauliflower steak is the way to go here, I think
My only thought w/r/t the eggplant was its extraordinary ability to absorb flavored oils.
Eggplant isn't my jam, so I just don't know enough about cooking with it, other than using it as an essential ingredient in my turkey burgers.
What if you did it with tofu or seitan? I’m not vegetarian but I do know fried tofu slaps.
Seitan might just be the secret ingredient here.

My loins, they are hot for this.
The Hot Loin is definitely the ultimate distillation of this website's essence.
It's dumb but it's earnest and it's better than you think it should be.
Everything is Alive is SO GOOD. the one with the balloon legitimately surprised me at the end in a way not a lot of media has.

I'm really becoming a believer in brine. Rarely cook chicken or pork without it these days.
