What's On Tonight (Thursday): Saint Olivia says so long for the summer
Via Giphy.
Tonight's Top Pick is the 27th season finale of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. I like that I don't even have to know the context of this gif without still having a pretty strong idea of what's going on.

Politics Corner is still busy making dinner. I've forgotten how many vegetables that I've chopped just like my mom does -- with one ancient, dull paring knife. She thinks that I'm fussy and lazy for needing sharp chef knives, vegetable peelers, etc. Every so often I follow her example just to get inside her head a little bit. I like it there.

Feed Me: Croutons
Did I actually want a salad, or just the croutons?
LOL
They were first introduced in Medieval kitchens as a means to use up stale bread, going into soups and stews. But the word comes from the French word for "crust," as chefs started serving dishes with fried or toasted pieces of bread.
They were then served with the first Caesar salad, created in 1924 by an Italian immigrant living in Tijuana.
Here's a recipe to make your own!

| America's Culinary Cup |
OOOOOHHHHH! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, May 13!
Our Top Pick tonight is the finale of America's Culinary Cup (CBS, 9:30 p.m. / Paramount+, Thursday). This could also be the series finale for this not-warm-welcomed culinary competition show. The criticisms are warranted. There are too many weak gimmicks and Padma is often more the star than any of the chefs. Plus I can't stand Buddha Lo. His Top Chef seasons are the worst, and his ego and self infatuation hasn't waned. I only made it through 3 episodes before tentatively checking out. But I give it some points for regularly starting on the half-hour and only being an hour-long show. Rarity!

What's On Tonight (Tuesday): A Short Story
Via Giphy.
Tonight's Top Pick is Marty, Life Is Short, premiering at 3 a.m. on Netflix. Because I know my tribe. We sure as hell wouldn't approve of the Martin Short documentary being passed over for NCIS's season finale.

After all these years of telling students that the only degrees worth getting were in STEM fields, it looks as if you can throw out that science degree. We've given the bum rush to the entire National Science Board. On the other hand a judge has informed Trump that all of DOGE's cuts to the Humanities were illegal so dust off your History degree because there's plenty of room for discussion of the Decline and Fall of the American Empire.
