Everyone
A Big Bobble Hat
5th December, 2025
I like to watch live events. Do I care about ice skating? Not as a sport. But as a live event: totally. It’s like the fun of watching the Olympics, where you play armchair expert while simultaneously trying to figure out what matters in the sport. Ice skating races are short, and anything could happen. Falls are common so races get upended. Ice skating’s great drop-in lunch viewing.
A Yard of Popcorn
31st October, 2021
Popcorn’s easy to make on the stove. Get some oil as hot as possible1. Add enough kernels to cover the bottom of the pan, then put the lid on. Now keep the pan moving - shake it in circles2. It’ll start popping in a few minutes; when it stops popping, remove from the heat. Done! Great as-is, with a dusting of salt, or a dusting of icing sugar.
