A Tribute To Tinkerbell Cosmetics

I remember the tiny bottle of Tinkerbell perfume I got for my fifth birthday. I kept it through my teens because it was the most comforting smell in the world. I would totally buy body wash tomorrow in that scent.

Choctone

I know it's Springtime and it's supposed to be renewal and flowers and budding trees and things like that, but I'm tired of stuff right now, you know? Among certain other things that happened this week, there is also like this thing with the goofball in Korea who is gonna launch a nuclear missile on his grandfather's birthday or something? It's depressing!

We (as in U.S.) might set fire to the sky over this guy's country because he says he has a nuke missile and he wants to use it, you know? Doesn't this guy know how dangerous We The People are? Look what we did to a country that didn't even have any good weapons, it turned out. We crazy!

Plus I thought all these Dictators liked movies? We know he likes Sports because of that ridiculous thing with the basketball that happened, but doesn't this guy like movies? I refuse to Google this shit. I don't want to learn about this fool. Didn't he see Dr. Strangelove? Once this thing gets rolling there ain't no stopping it! I wonder how many spies were in that group that went over for the basketball, huh? Seriously, I bet there was at least one spy. I hope there was a spy, I mean we gotta do something about this kook, I guess, but why is it our job, World Policewise? Can't we just give him some money? Can't China handle this one? They want to be Number One now, so why don't they fix this guy's wagon, hah? C'mon, China, it's your century, everybody keeps saying, plus, you're closer, right?

And what happened with this Drone Army we were building over in Africa, did we do anything with that? Are we getting anything out of these Drones, like, are we gonna attack Syria or something? Is it a secret? Also, how many sides are there, in Syria? Which side are we on? And since when is Hosni Mubarak still alive over in Egypt? I thought that was all done? He's still on trial for being President? Are you kidding me?

Also, there are robots taking all the clicks out of my computer or something. I'm not Googling any of this shit because it just makes it worse.

Birds around my house are tweeting their natural analogue tweets now every morning before I get outta bed. They wake me up out of my vital Beauty Sleep and I don't even get mad. They are back from being good birds someplace else, so I should have Joy and stuff because it is the Season of Life, with plants, and li'l baby birds to continue singing and get that early worm breakfast, and no more winter coats and whatever, but all I can think about is Hurricane Season will be back at some point and a whole bunch more people are gonna get washed out to sea because their house is too close to the melted polar icecaps and the Carbon Dioxide dissolved into the sea or the air or however it works with the science because of the pollution and there was a whole iceberg or glacier or something in South America that melted in like 20 minutes after freezing for a thousand years or something and now it's melted and everything's fucked up, man.

But it's Springtime! You don't have to dress in layers now, that's Good Times, right? More Daylight, even if you don't believe in Daylight Savings or whatever, you don't have to lift a finger and there are more hours of Daylight because of what, the angle of the Earth, or the Earth is closer to the Sun or something? I can't remember, but all I know is I heard somebody say maybe the Earth was a little wobbly or something or there's a bulge and that could be also melting everything and there's Fracking, to get more oil, and it's causing earthquakes because of how you have to shoot water into the ground or something and so of course there are other guys saying no, Fracking doesn't cause Earthquakes, people do, or something?

And also a whole buncha Manatees got killed? The Manatee is one of my favorite animals because it is mellow. It doesn't attack people, it just cruises around and eats seaweed or something. If I was a millionaire I would have a Manatee ranch where they could come and hang out and not get hit by boats or killed, but I don't, even though I play the lottery all the time, so now I feel bad because of the Red Tide, which chokes out all the oxygen or something, and kills the plants the Manatees eat, and so the Manatees get killed and this is all because of soap or phosphates in the water or maybe it's chicken shit or some sorta waste product from farms going into the water? We still do this, we still dump stuff out that kills things? Can we maybe reassess the whole Chicken thing, because meanwhile, back in China, they have the "Bird Flu," but they say they don't have any big problem with "Bird Flu," which is up to H7N9 now, and counting. I don't know, is it important when the serial number of the Flu changes? It's bad, right? Everything is bad? You know what, China? You need to fix this also. You guys are in charge of your own damn chickens, right? What good is having a Totalitarian Society if you can't handle stuff like this? Meanwhile you are gonna get everybody in China a car? Haven't you been paying attention? That's not a good idea, man. Everybody has admired you for a long time because of all the bicycles.

You know, I'm usually pretty upbeat, I'm a Positive Person, for real, but every once in a while it just all sorta piles up and I have a lot of questions. I'll get over it. Maybe it's just the pollen from all the fucking trees.

#1 most adorable stamp alert!

For Nick

Good morning

Gatsby Covers

Soon

Makes 20 hors d’oeuvres
Total time: 1 1/2 hours || Active time: 20 minutes

I know. Adorable, right?

A tender roasted potato with a creamy, eggy filling. Sprinkled with a little paprika and a sprig of dill, they taste as irresistible as they look.

My first meeting with deviled potatoes was when my friend Lauren made them for an Omaha potluck. And of course I came to expect an inviting trayful at all subsequent potlucks. But then Lauren moved away and I was stuck staring at a tray of…nothing. Only my own tears.

The recipe she used (and I think most people use this one) is from VegWeb, called Potato Angels. Awww!

I wanted to make a version that would be perfect for Passover or Easter. Pop them into one of those vintage egg trays and impress everyone.

Happy first day of Spring, everyone!

Recipe Notes

~A little black salt, called kala namak, is used for the eggy flavor, but you can use regular old salt, too. Just reduce the amount to 3/4 teaspoon. But kala namak is a really fun ingredient, and great in tofu egg salads, or vegan omelets, so pick some up at a specialty shop or order it for good times.

~I actually didn’t have a vintage egg tray, so I cut off just a tiny sliver of potato at the bottom, to prevent wobbling. But a little wobble isn’t going to hurt anyone.

 ~Try to find egg-shaped yukon gold potatoes that are all as close in size as possible. As you can see from the pic, they aren’t going to be totally perfect, but that adds to the cuteness.

 ~Use a jar of ground black pepper instead of fresh ground black pepper. I dunno, it just kind of adds to the authenticity!

 ~If you don’t have a pastry tip you can slice off the corner of a plastic bag with a 1/2 inch slit and pipe the filling in that way. Alternatively, you can use a rounded tablespoon to scoop it in. But get a pastry bag and pastry tip (I used Wilton 4B), it’s fun!

Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs small thin-skinned potatoes, like yukon gold (about 10)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup cashews, soaked in water for at least 2 hours
3/4 cup vegetable broth (or water)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon kala manak black salt (or 3/4 teaspoon regular salt)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
A big pinch black pepper

For garnish:
Sweet paprika
Fresh dill

---

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Slice potatoes across the waist and place on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Rub potatoes to coat, and place cut-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, until potatoes are tender.

In the meantime, drain the cashews and place them in the blender with vegetable broth and turmeric. Blend until completely smooth, scraping the sides of the food processor with a spatula occasionally to make sure you get everything. This could 1 to 5 minutes depending on the strength of your blender.

When potatoes are tender, remove from the oven. When cool enough to handle, but still hot, scoop the centers out with a melon baller or rounded teaspoon, leaving about 1/4 inch lining of potato inside.

Place the scooped out potato into a mixing bowl and mash until smooth. It’s important that they’re still warm so that they mash well. Add the cashew cream mixture, salt, lemon juice and black pepper, and continue to mash until well incorporated. Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes so that the mixture stiffens up.

Once cool, scoop into pastry bag fit with a medium sized serrated tip (I use Wilton 4B) and fill potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika and top with a little sprig of thyme. Keep chilled until ready to serve! These taste best at room temp, I think. Enjoy!

SCENE:

I, SARAH, am on the phone during my lunch hour in a salad establishment, having a disappointing phone call about personal finances and opportunities, holding back tears because I am in public in a goddamn salad place.

Two NYU UNDERGRADS are seated at the table next to mine.

UPTALKY GUY: So what’re you gonna do after graduation?

UPTALKY GIRL: I don’t know… I feel like I should work, but… ?

UPTALKY GUY: (sighs) Ugh, I know.

UPTALKY GIRL: Right?

SARAH: (leaps onto table, stabs everyone with plastic knife, smears face with blood, howls, moves to the woods forever)
