From the 1964 “Seventeen” magazine cookbook, I present:

I was looking up why macaroni salad at restaurants is good and why mine is always mid in comparison. What do you mean there's "heavy-duty" mayonnaise?!

Good news to start your Monday: thanks to the removal of the four Klamath River dams, wild Chinook have hatched for the first time in over a century in the upper reaches of the Klamath! This river reaches the Pacific in northern California, where K- and L-Pods spend time in the winter/spring.

Chinook salmon found naturally hatching in Upper Klamath River for first time in a century

The Klamath Tribes are celebrating evidence of Chinook salmon spawning in Klamath River tributary.

In the Miami airport. Oohh… Aahhh.

My local indie theater described “Ghostwatch” as a “parody” and a “prank.” I, a horror weenie, loaded it up thinking it was a comedy 😭 😭 😭 It is…not a comedy.

Hot dog coat-of-arms, created for the 50th anniversary of the invention of the hot dog, at Coney Island in 1939. Shows a hot dog being knighted, flanked by two wiener dogs, crowned by mustard. (They took some liberties with the Latin, but do you expect a hot dog place to have an in-house Latinist?)

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

Looking for a recipe in an old magazine, I instead find what must be grimmest poem ever written about Lake Tahoe.

there's sort of an inverted bell curve effect with websites where you can buy stuff, where' there's Normal Store like target or whatever, and then a lot of stuff where it sketches you out, and then there's a website that is so incredibly bad that it's obviously the Most Legit Specialist Company Ever
