Chef Andrew Gruel @ChefGruel - Eating well on $15/day isn’t about suffering; it’s about technique. The most flavorful dishes aren’t filets and ribeyes; they’re braises, rice dishes, soups, and stews. Here’s one that comes in under $5 per person (using California prices, receipts posted) Full write-up in link.

Chef Andrew Gruel @ChefGruel - Video: The most common pushback when I post recipes under $15 is always the same - people nit-pick local prices, say it takes too much time, or complain that it’s “not real food” and ask why poor people should be subjected to rice and secondary cuts. To me, that reaction proves there’s a massive knowledge gap around food in America. And it’s not the fault of consumers. People have been trained to disregard food altogether, conditioned by decades of food manufacturers merging with government priorities to create a cheap, turnkey eating program that values convenience over competence.

With MAHA in effect, this phase is about breaking those norms and reintroducing food education at every level. Because being in the kitchen isn’t just about sustenance, it’s about sharing time. In many cases, the meal itself is secondary. We’ve forgotten that in a fast-paced world where TikTok reels have replaced real education. So take some time this weekend to learn a dish that’s always intimidated you. You’ll probably be shocked at how easy cooking actually is and how much you get back from it. Here's a quick stew video, use any tough cut and the result is the same.

This video is a bit longer than my usual ones, but I break down the culinary fundamentals in great detail. I promise, if you want this, you will master a stew and braise and will never need to watch another video.

Christina Pushaw @ChristinaPushaw - Vile as it is, Lexi Lawler is free to say whatever she wants. She is not being criminally charged for her words. Free speech is a right, but a nursing license is a privilege NOT a right. She lost her license because she violated professional standards in relation to her job by wishing physical harm on a specific patient.
Nurses -- like teachers, doctors, police officers, and others in professions that should have the public's trust in a functioning society -- are expected to maintain certain standards of professionalism. Lawler is no different from a teacher who tells students that all people of a certain race or religion are evil. If professionals in positions of trust say horrible things that reflect on their work, and lose their jobs over it, that isn't a First Amendment case. It's not about words harming people -- it's about words harming the reputation of an entire profession.

Wow, seems like you're not allowed to harm someone with your words.
