pshaw_ravenI don't know about Pantone's Color of the Year for 2019. It's not really to my taste and I don't like the way warm colors look on me so I'm skipping out. Here's my personal pick for MY color of the year - and a nice complementary color!
This woman stopped coloring her hair and allowed it to naturally go gray. Or silver, whatever word you prefer for it. Fun story - when my first husband discovered I was starting to get more silver hairs in the back of my head he said, "You're going to want to start coloring your hair." I laughed and said something to the effect that I'd earned that silver hair thank-you-very-much, and he responded, "That wasn't a question." Currently part of my hair is actually purple but I've taken zero steps to cover the silver, which seems to be coming in gradually, all over, rather than in streaks or all at once.
I don't know about y'all but I love Brussels sprouts. So tonight I'm trying this recipe for Crispy Miso-Roasted Brussels Sprouts. Fox sometimes refers to sprouts as "little green globes of happiness," especially the way I make them which is typically roasted with a little bacon, dijon mustard, maple syrup, and red wine vinegar. Try to make sure your sprouts are as dry as possible so they roast, rather than braise.
YouTube's Rewind is the worst video ever. The article addresses some of the reasons, and "authenticity" is a major one. As I saw it, a big problem was that Rewind this year wasn't about the content creators, but about YouTube patting itself on the back for being inclusive and diverse. Personally, I like inclusiveness and diversity, but this was like the Pride Month bullshit where companies drape themselves in rainbow colors but it's all a disingenuous attempt to make more money by appealing to a "larger consummer base." And then as soon as that's over it's business as usual. Substitute blacks, women, or any other group for LGBTQA and it's the same story. It's all exploitation for profit and it's all crap.

I didn't have an entire pound so I added snow peas. I roasted the sprouts as per the recipe, then in the last seven minutes or so of cooking, added the snow peas with some extra butter mixture. It came out amazing. I will definitely make this again.
Also, I think the wine is just there for being a liquid. I used sake. You could also use broth - whatever is on hand.
