My Sicilian Mom from Long Island asks if Iâve seen a movie, Iâm like nah mom I havenât seen that. She takes a long sip of her gin and tonic and tells me an in depth summary of what I assume is the first hour of the movie. She stops to sip her drink again and is like âYeah, itâs good, check it outâ and Iâm like âNo please just tell me the whole movieâ, so she does, and I want to make it a series on YouTube.

Nothing like spending the day watching movies with my mom! My mom will literally watch anything that she hasnt seen before even if it looks/seems awful (we have such different taste in movies, i hate cop and military propaganda and natural disaster movies but she eats them up. just glad we both dislike fantasy movies). It helps me find cool stuff sometimes, like the jumanji reboot sequel is actually kinda fun if you dont think about it! We wonât even fully pay attention sometimes but still just cool to hang out listening to the same thing

My motherâs two favorite films. Growing up she was always a lover of film but these two movies were her shit. It always confused me because sheâs a die hard Christian that barely swears and is a Jesus Stan. The older I get tho, the more I realize she probably loves it because my mother is a master at mind games. Which makes a good gangster in my mind.

Itâs a given, but I like the rest of the team, love movies. The first one I saw was Scooby Doo, according to my parents. I cried when it got loud so they took me out of the theater. I love my parents. Showing movies to them is a deep pleasure of mine. Just like cooking for them, or getting them that thing they wanted for their birthday. People are surprised when I say this, but I show everything I screen to my family beforehand. Theyâre the Wizard behind the curtain of my programming. I talk with them about what should go first, and discuss the common themes the shorts I pick share. It makes me a better curator and programmer having my mom, dad, and sister in the room for help.

When your cat comes to cuddle you and youâre like âwow, this bud really loves meâŠâ then you look at the clock and notice that itâs almost feeding time.

The other night I fell asleep on the couch around 10:00 pm watching Joseph Campbellâs Mythos I. I woke up around 4:30 am, washed my face and brushed my teeth.
This invigorated me to the point that I basically wasnât falling back asleep, so I ended up looking up different brands of finishing salts for two hours in bed.
Fleur De Sel and Maldon Sea Salts are not salts that you want to cook with, but that you want to sprinkle atop things as âfinishing saltsâ.
In my research I discovered that GuĂ©rande or Camargue fleur de sels are top brands to use. And with Maldon, the brand just called Maldon. I have Maldon sea salts and also Sal de Ibiza fleur de sel which is really good. It comes in a ceramic pot with a little spoon. I recommend both and you donât need a lot, a little goes a long way.
From Wikipedia:
âFleur de sel ("flower of salt" in French; French pronunciation: [flĆÊ dÉ sÉl]) or flor de sal (also "flower of salt" in Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan) is a salt that forms as a thin, delicate crust on the surface of seawater as it evaporates. Fleur de sel has been collected since ancient times (it was mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his book Natural History), and was traditionally used as a purgative and salve. It is now used as a finishing salt to flavor and garnish food.â
From Maldon Salt website:
âWhat is special about Maldon Salt?
Maldon Saltâs irregular and distinctive pyramid shape is what makes it so special. In addition to the unique tactile texture, our pyramid salt flakes release saltiness with sweet precision, bringing a clean and delicate flavour.â
Some uses:
Vegetables.
Pastas.
Meats if you do that.
Watermelon or mango.
A chocolate chip cookie, fresh from the oven, topped with Maldon sea salt. I linked Alison Romanâs recipe above for Salted Butter and Chocolate Chunk Shortbread Cookies above. Warning: these cookies may horn you for life, and cause you to eat many. If you give them to people theyâll keep asking you to make them over and over again. Perfect trifecta of sweet but not too sweet, savory, and salty.
A little toast with mashed avocado, sliced tomate, Maldon sea salt or fleur de sel on top. Can also serve with scrambled egg on the side with some Green Pepper Cholula on top (green flame emoji).
A warm blueberry muffin, or toasted croissant (I pronounce this with an audible ârâ) cut in half, some vegan (Miyokoâs, Earth Balance Soy Free) or whatever other (Kerrygold) butter melted in the middle, and a little fleur de sel or Maldon sea salt.
Do you use finishing salts? What do you use them on? How do you love them?
I try to watch my sodium but Iâm a little bit of a salt guy in moderation. Donât call me âsalt baeâ. Iâm only bae to one woman and one woman only, and thatâs my wife, the most beautiful woman in the world.

Itâs nice to let the afternoon sun come in while you relax in a soothing salt bath, maybe some essential oils, a lil masque. A little diffuse sunlight makes it nice.
