i throw cherry tomatoes with a small slit and tons of garlic in a small pot with a lot of olive oil and red pepper. let it confit for like an hour. add in basil for the last fifteen min. separate the oil, blend confit mix with an immersion blender and then use it as a sauce over some pasta.
the oil can stay in the fridge for bread dipping!

dice 3 cloves garlic and begin roasting in olive oil at medium heat in cast iron
cut up as much vegetable as you want, i usually go for some combo of broccoli, zucchini, spinach, kale, chard, red bellpepper, and corn. cook as timing dictates with each, i usually like my zucchini & pepper & corn seared some. the leafy greens let off a lot of water so sometimes good to cook those separately
for sauce
dice 3 cloves garlic and 1/4 of an onion & begin roasting both together at half heat in any pan, i use a ceramic nonstick
cube 2-3 tomatoes depending on size
once garlic & onion sufficiently roasted put in tomato sauce and stir occasionally whilst allowing it to thicken, lower heat to simmer once sufficiently thick
cook pasta until al denté, save some pasta water for thinning the tomato sauce, add strained pasta to cast iron with vegetables, stir well, then add sauce to this. and voila

i am morally opposed to the idea of commodifying all your hobbies, but i love to live in my imaginary world in which i do. nothing better than a long voice note session back and forth with a friend saying “i have a new side business for us.”
we love to go through everything from name, vibe, how we’ll make money and who is our audience. we have no interest in how we will acquire money to start this because we know we never will. it’s a fleeting moment of creativity in which you can imagine living out the unattainable dream of harmonious shared work with your best friend.
this idea is never visited again until something similar is likely created after which you and your friends can claim that you were almost definitely overheard by your fbi agent on your phone or the girl sitting next to you in the cafe. this person, of course, copied your brilliant idea and you plan to sue, another thing you’ll never do but have fun imagining. friends are magic.

La Chimera has amazing cinematography, great lighting, etc. It’s done everything right. Something about the washed out color palette is so pleasing. The part I like the most is the depiction of an Italy thats not perfect like Tuscany or Lake Como. It’s so real and beautiful despite being more industrial and less glam than what you’d expect.
Il Gattopardo (1963— I differentiate because Netflix is releasing a new adaptation next month) has costumes to die for. It’s rural, it’s dramatic, it’s very special.
