I love swimming, but Covid has showed me how utterly reliant I am on pool availability. That really bothers me.

imma put some on it. i would think romano perhaps better but i have none. sue me if you must. i saw you eat pizza col tonno once. plus there's burro in it. plus i'm using every ingredient in the house #quarantine

ps- but please enlighten me. if not now, when?

Usually, adding cheese to fish is a bad idea. Tuna can “work” with cheese, google “pasta alla carlofortina” some pecorino sardo does wonders in there.
I’d avoid burro, unless you do just a little burro + tonno. I used to eat it when I was a young kid. Now I think a little olive oil is the way to go, if the tuna isn’t already sott’olio.

ah! molte grazie.

you know what? the parmigiano kinda worked atually, but i ruined it all by adding also capperi (facepalm). overshot & suffered the consequences--but discovery requires experimentation (hail hydra?)

still thinking of tuna + capers in a different mix.

the burro is part of the sauce already. not sure if you've ever heard of marcella hazan, one of your best exports? (she was a scientist who ended up in new york, became a cooking teacher.) her famous sauce was supersimple, and i made it in bulk because i had to dispatch some onions before they croaked. so i was just recombining it to make the tonno più interessante (the sauce itself needs nothing but our tonno ain't the greatest. and comes in water).

CARLOFORTINA. i will look for it. pecorino sardo is out of the question but... one can dream!

covid note: i actually ordered the infamous kraft cheese in a jar, the one that comes mixed with cellulose, to avoid going to the supermarket (one must make sacrifices these days). it's a mix of parmesan, pecorino and asiago. american monstrosity! still one has to make the best of it ha ha ha.

future tonno will be with olive oil. i would have used alio e prezzemolo but i don't have any (will grow this season though).

please keep the great ideas coming, even if impossible to make, because cooking with disjointed elements is the new black.

Alright alright alright, maybe it wasn't a COMPLETE fantasy after all...

Fauci confirms New York Times report Trump rebuffed social distancing advice
Health adviser says on CNN 'you could logically say if you started mitigation earlier, you could have saved lives'

...and here we go, bound to happen:

Trump Lashes Out at Fauci Amid Criticism of Slow Virus Response
The president retweeted a post calling for the government’s top infectious disease specialist to be fired after the doctor acknowledged that shutting down the country earlier could have saved lives.

Chickenshit fuckhead didn't even have the guts to say it himself - he retweeted a #FireFauci tweet. Good LAWD I wish God existed, so Satan could exist, so Dotard could be fucked in the asshole for all eternity.

My mother dumps everything she buys at the supermarket into the kitchen sink and washes every damn bottle, bag and package - doesn't matter if it's cardboard or whatever, it shall be washed.

that's good and everyone should do that, but it's the workers who are getting reamed by the throngs of careless visitors.

for me shipping is marginally better because it minimizes contact networks. i.e. the shippers and loaders and delivery drivers do not need to interact with the public and can remain safer in a more or less linear system where as supermarket registers are infection nodes especially at the conveyor belt.

i understand shipped groceries are not available to everyone but if i can help starve the virus on my end then that's a small something.

when this shit is finally over i am going to eat 12 fresh eggs a day and every piece of produce that spoils fast on the side.

Indeed. Not to mention that many of the employers don't give two shits about creating the conditions for workers to maintain social distancing or even wear clean masks, clean gloves, and have disinfectant (hand sanitizer, etc.) available at all times.

Gotta love capitalism let loose.

I've heard similar stats happen during the "gather the family at home" holidays too. Biggest difference here is that we don't know how long this recommendation is going to last. We know when holidays end.

Not surprising at all: violent piece-of-shit husbands now have more time and proximity to beat up their wives. It is ironic, though, that the police compiled the data, because according to the National Center For Women & Policing,

Two studies have found that at least 40% of police officer families experience domestic violence, in contrast to 10% of families in the general population. A third study of older and more experienced officers found a rate of 24%, indicating that domestic violence is 2-4 times more common among police families than American families in general. A police department that has domestic violence offenders among its ranks will not effectively serve and protect victims in the community. Moreover, when officers know of domestic violence committed by their colleagues and seek to protect them by covering it up, they expose the department to civil liability.

Thanks Dude. Ironically, at this time, she shows no symptoms. I expect this will change.

Two headlines grabbed me today:

1. USA has most reported Covid deaths in a day.

2. USA halts WHO funding.

Trumpists, please, help me out here. I've unignored everyone. It's too confusing otherwise. Reconcile these headlines for me. Thanks.
