Here's a piece I wrote in the run-up to the 2016 election. I wouldn't write the same piece about this Tuesday's election, but I'd still take the same starting point and build from there while wrestling much more seriously with some of the shortcomings and blind spots of this 2016 piece.

Recommendations

Cook this

Find yourself a recipe for bouillabaisse. (I used the one in The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook.)

Also, if you ever find yourself picking giant jalapeños -- like these ones, bigger than apples -- and wonder what to do with them, make some bacon-wrapped stuffed jalapeños.

Listen to this

Cory Henry's The Revival (And this brief interview with Henry in 2016.)
