Breaking Free From the Jell-O Mold

The rest of this holiday season, I am not baking a single pie, cookie, or cake. I am making only Jell-O, and I am going to blow people’s minds. Having a potluck? I’m bringing seven-layer rainbow jellies. A dinner party? It’s the amber and ivory sherry tres leches gelatinas from the book Oaxaca by Bricia Lopez. Brunch? I’ll make Mexican dessert expert Fany Gerson’s gelatina de naranja con leche, a Creamsicle for a crowd prepared with fresh citrus, milk, and a split vanilla bean. The luckiest guests of all get Gerson’s version of gelatina de mosaico, an amazing, multicolor all-gelatin cake made with a trio of fruity gelatins (such as mango, pineapple, and passion fruit) that are cut into cubes and suspended in a tres leches gelatin base. When cu...

NXT recap & reactions (Nov. 30, 2021): WarGames go home show is a battlefield – Cageside Seats

Hit Em’ Up Hip Hop is littered with generational battles, directly or indirectly. There’s always a tug of war between an older generation and a fresh crop of talent who want to remake the game in their images. It’s the law of the theoretical jungle that LL Cool J and Canibus beefed. And those same rules apply to Team 2.0 vs Team Black and Gold. Now, calling the team consisting of Tomasso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, LA Knight, and Pete Dunne “Black and Gold” says to me that the writing is on the wall. In case you haven’t noticed, black and gold aren’t NXT’s colors anymore soooo yeah, kinda weird for the victorious team to hold up a flag the brand itself doesn’t even wave anymore. But let’s not put the cart before the horse on its way to the glue factory. Team 2.0 took their tu...

Jane Campion’s Power Of The Dog premieres on Netflix – The A.V. Club

Benedict Cumberbatch in The Power Of The DogPhoto: Kirsty Griffin/Netflix Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Wednesday, December 1. All times are Eastern. Top pick The Power Of The Dog (Netflix, 3:01 a.m.): “Westerns have been deconstructing toxic masculinity for ages. The Thomas Savage novel on which The Power Of The Dog is based got there way back in 1967. But [director] Jane Campion approaches the task with a sensual touch few of her peers possess—and with an equally uncommon understanding of where humanity’s darkest and most transcendent impulses intersect. In The Power Of The Dog, ordinary life is a soap bubble that can burst at the slightest touch. Campion’s films frequently use families to explore the commingling of personal and political violence, and The ...

Alice Sebold biopic axed after man’s rape conviction is overturned – The Independent

Plans to adapt Alice Sebold’s 1999 memoir Lucky have been scrapped, after the man she accused of raping her had his conviction overturned. Anthony Broadwater spent 16 years in prison after being convicted in 1982 of raping Sebold when she was 18 years old. He was exonerated last week. Lucky was in the process of being adapted for film, with You star Victoria Pedretti cast to play Sebold, but after Tim Mucciante signed on as executive producer, he noticed glaring discrepancies in the prosecutor’s case and “started poking around and trying to figure out what really happened”. Mucciante was dropped from the project, but he hired Dan Myers as a private investigator to look into the evidence. Myers, who spent 20 years working for the Onondaga County sheriff’s office, also became convinced ...

People who survive severe COVID are 2.5 times as likely to die within a year as those not infected – Daily Mail

Long Covid may lead to an increased risk of death in the year after a patient's diagnosis, a new study finds. Researchers at the University of Florida analyzed health records from over 13,000 patients, following them for 12 months.  Patients who had severe Covid symptoms were 2.5 times as likely to die over the next year after their diagnosis compared with those who tested negative for Covid. Younger patients (under age 65) who suffered severe symptoms had a particularly high mortality risk at 3.3 times as likely to die as patients under age 65 who tested negative. The study indicates that there's 'a substantial risk of dying' from unrecognized Covid complications, the study's lead author said. Vaccination can prevent such complications.  Patients hospitalized with se...
