NXT recap & reactions (April 19, 2022): What is this, NXT? – Cageside Seats

Guess who’s back? NXT. NXT is back, tell a friend. With that out of my system, welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. Claire, my other great co-host, is on top of the blog and play-by-play as per usual. I’ve got the analysis, insights, and half witticisms for your delight. Let’s talk NXT! What in the World? Normally, I try to come up with clever references for these sections. They entertain me and hopefully entertain you. Some of them are pop culture references, song titles, or just quick observations designed to be just that. But then there are moments when I truly don’t know what to say, hence the title you see a couple sentences above. What exactly was this mess with Bron Breakker and Joe Gacy?

Bucatini all’Amatriciana Recipe

A Classic Roman Dish - Bucatini all'Amatriciana Like many of you, Meg and I watched the Stanley Tucci special on CNN called Searching for Italy. In the Rome episode, he has lunch at Armando Al Pantheon to enjoy their famous rigatoni all'amatriciana, one of Rome's famous pastas. I made it a little different and call it bucatini all'Amatriciana. Of course I had to run out and buy the ingredients so we could make it at home. Not a lot of ingredients and very simple to prepare and absolutely delicious. Let's look at some of the ingredients. Bucatini Bucatini is a pasta that looks a lot like spaghetti but it is thicker and has a whole running down through the strand.

There’s Resilience—Plus Pelmeni and Fizzy Things—at the Eastern European Deli

The Roman Russian Market is located in a part of Portland, Oregon, where tourists fear to tread. Here in the city’s deep southeast—a neighborhood known locally as “The Numbers”—broad thoroughfares like Division and Powell become rushing highways, abutted by mixed retail strip malls, sprawling new-build apartment complexes, and cloistered side streets. The area is home to a broad cross-section of architectural styles and immigrant subcultures, Vietnamese bakeries and Jalisco-style carnicerias, and Gen X vegan mini-marts. Roman Russian Market has been operating here for the better part of two decades, but today there is a new feature adorning the grocery’s exterior, billowing against the flowing traffic: a massive Ukrainian flag. Owner and entrepr...

WHILE WE’RE YOUNG: KARAD

Photography by Akash Patil AKASH PATIL, 24 “The power of your beliefs eventually gains control over the way you love and grow older, your choice of clothes and the kind of people you surround yourself with. This series of photographs that I call Ghat, captures my hometown, Karad, and is reminiscent of the places I grew up in, particularly during my high-school years. I was frightened but fascinated by love, gender, fashion and the notions that surround them. Clashes between different relig...
