What's On Tonight (Monday): Uh, Bachelor No. 1, I guess ...
Courtesy IMDB.
Tonight's Top Pick is "The Dating Game," a new episode of POV airing at 10 p.m. on PBS. Luckily for me, the episode's actually about relationships and not, say, carbon dating.

What's On Tonight (Sunday): Pop quiz, Mouse

| The Wonderful World of Disney / Speed |
Too many cooks! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, July 19!
Our Top Pick tonight is the The Wonderful World of Disney with its premiere of Speed (ABC, 8:30 p.m. / Disney+, now). This isn't Speed's first time on broadcast TV. The action thriller premiered on Fox in 1996, but tonight is the 20th Century film's first time as a Wonderful World presentation. Even before Disney bought Fox, Wonderful had plenty of non-Disney titles, especially in the early 2010s, and it seemed to be on its deathbed before getting new life during the pandemic. Speed kicks off a few weeks of Wonderful premieres -- True Lies, While You Were Sleeping, Cocktail. Then it's back to repeated movies.
Elsewhere, a Vampire band has a final show, HGTV is All Inn on Maine, going viral means he'll Find Me, Morty goes to summer camp, and the Westies deal cocaine.

What's On Tonight (Saturday): Sing you a tune

| Theme Song Takeover |
The Hundred Years' War, part deux! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, July 18!
Our Top Pick tonight is Theme Song Takeover (Disney+, 3 a.m.). This is yet another short-form Disney offering that's highlighted because Saturdays are slow. These minisodes (sometimes not even hitting the 2-minute mark) find Disney characters — think supporting players or antagonists — doing a personalized rendition of their show's theme song. These shouldn't be viewed as canon.
Elsewhere, Superman goes to a charity gala, prom and pregnancy don't mesh well, CNN ponders why Americans still care about the colonizers Royal family, Dinner and a Movie aims for Intelligence, Peacock has the Main Event, and Hallmark is Snowbound in July.

I'm at a Pedro the Lion concert. Probably enjoying myself. I'm not terribly excited because they're fairly mellow. I'm really going to check out the Vivarium, a new venue. Live music is usually better so I might emerge a fan.

What's On Tonight (Friday): Someone Didn't Watch the "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" Episode of Buffy
 |
| Obsession |
This week’s Top Pick is the streaming premiere of the surprise summer horror smash Obsession. The little indie that cost less than $1,000,000 to produce is still in the top ten after almost nine weeks and has grossed over $250,000,000, making it one of the most profitable movies of all time. All that and it’s supposed to be good!
If you are less of an Obsession person and more of a Backrooms one, perhaps give the streaming premiere of Exit 8 a watch. Adapted from the video game of the same name, the Japanese psychological horror mystery film follows a man stuck in a seemingly endless subway corridor where he must follow a set of rules if he is ever to escape. Reviews have been excellent.
Horror isn’t really my thing, so I’m more likely to check out The East Palace. The South Korean supernatural historical mystery series set in a fictional kingdom follows a man who can slay spirits and a lady of the court who can communicate with them that are both tasked with investigating a sinister force. I recently binged the first two seasons of The Apothecary Diaries so this would seem to be more up my alley.
⭐🎥 Obsession (Peacock, 3:01 AM) STREAMING PREMIERE. 'After breaking the mysterious "One Wish Willow" to win his crush's heart, a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.'

I am convinced that the 2024 Presidential election was overturned by the Deep State. While I'm at it I call into question the results of the 2016 election and all of the resultant Supreme Court appointments.

Feed Me: Lavender and Honey
.jpg)
We bought some lavender salt from a local vendor, and the Mason Valley Beekeepers let me try some raw honeycomb. That was delicious.
You can find a few different bundles to buy, but it's always best to have a local honey.
Especially if you have allergies, it exposes your immune system to trace amounts of regional pollen.
Plus, commercial honey has generally lost natural antioxidants and beneficial enzymes through processing.
And here are some summer sweet and savory lavender recipes.
