INGREDIENTS 3 tbsp butter 2 cups marshmallows  1 bag microwave popcorn or 4 cups of popcorn DIRECTIONS 1. Make some popcorn - I usually just use microwave popcorn because its easy, but feel free to make your own over the stovetop. Set that aside to cool slightly. 2. Brown the 3 tablespoons of butter in a large pot (see my previous posts on how to make brown butter). Keep an eye on the butter and stir constantly - because there’s a small amount of butter it’s really easy to burn.

*Spoilers* It’s a common enough trope these days to assert that anime is degenerate nonsense. But it was not always so. In fact, for the Millennial generation, anime as an experience was quite the opposite. Jonathan Bowden described many artforms which were semi-outside of the mainstream as “pulp fascism.” The heroic form is not one which is commonly found in the mainstream of cultural production. Television cartoons made in Japan and redubbed into English were indeed highly popular and remain so.

Wendy’s surge-pricing publicity debacle the other day sent me reaching into my archives for pictures of old-school Wendy’s, in particular my favorite generation, the yellow stores that were built from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s, when Wendy’s adopted the copper mansard look that dominated into the early 21st century. See my Instagram post, below. Today, we’re going to a place made for “Wendy’s kind of people” — Dublin, Ohio, home of Wendy’s flagship restaurant.

This recipe might just combine all of my favorite things: chicken cutlets, sandwiches, and vodka. Oh! and cheese! I prefer to use chicken thighs whenever I make chicken parm anymore. They’re tender and juicy and they cook super quickly and evenly (especially because we bash them a bit with a tenderizer before breading and frying them). Vodka sauce is so good, I could drink it (Sicily). It’s creamy and tomato-y and silky and simple.

The fourth-generation owners of Voelker’s Lanes, the neon- and argon bedecked landmark at the corner of Elmwood Avenue and Amherst Street, are seeking to demolish it, along with several other buildings in what could be called Voelkerville. It is a two-block section on the west side of Elmwood Avenue, from Woodette Place to Marion Street. It is where working class Black Rock, the industrial Belt Line, and the upper class ranges of the north end of Lincoln Parkway bump into each other.

After what was a pretty gruelling period of writing, editing and fine tuning, of working with the publisher on a very tight deadline so we could have the book in shops this side of Christmas, I am happy to report…mission accomplished. Voices of Us: The independents’ movement transforming Australian democracy is at the printers, and is, in fact, available for pre-order. It is well and truly on track for an official release date of December 1, though you may see it on some shop shelves a little earlier than that.
