Instead of teaching them to code America should do this with out of work coal miners just put one at the back of every abandoned coal mine
A scenic spot in #Handan, north #China's #Hebei Province is hiring personnel with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan to dress up as the famous Chinese mythical hero "#MonkeyKing" #SunWukong, who is pinned under Five Fingers Mountain, to eat the food fed by visitors.

Nothing has resonated with me as much as when @costellowv talks about how his passion for food is more of a passion for place. – at Charleston, WV

y'all will never guess who is on commonplace this week (hint its @costellowv). episode drops friday.
The closest I've come to a seven course meal is when I try to go too hard at buffets so getting to meet @costellowv after years of just knowing each other through Twitter and eat in his house at Lost Creek Farm is just a true joy.

Now I get to say I was featured on the same podcast as a chef who worked for NOMA and The chef who (in my opinion) is revitalizing West Virginian food to the highest degree.

For the record, Republican Congressman Max Miller said Gaza would be turned into a “parking lot.” GOP Congressman Brian Mast said Palestinian civilians are like Nazis. Republican senators Graham and Cotton said “level” Gaza and “bounce the rubble.” But they censured Tlaib.

Heart to Heart Salad. Smoked deer heart. Sorrel. Green Oxheart tomatoes. Charred melon. Chili oil. Buttermilk dressing. Salted purslane, which we’ve dubbed “Appalachian sea beans” because when i tasted it, that’s what it reminded me of. 📸 @kristianthacker @costellowv

Cornbread. On the left is Amy’s Bloody Butcher. It’s a deep burgundy crimson red dent variety introduced to the settlers in the Virginia area in the 1840s grown at Lost Creek Farms. On the left is my @ansonmills cornbread. As sweet as honey like I like it. 📸 @kristian_thacker
