**** for #CaptainAmericaBraveNewWorld. A few rough spots. A bit odd to see Hulk plot threads sewn up in a movie without Banner. And an unusual intro for adamantium. Will be interesting to see what this means for Wolverine.

Margaret Hamilton, who led the team developing the software for the Apollo 11 command module, evidently doesn't exist any more thanks to a directive requiring NASA to scrub DEI from public sites including "women in leadership".

It would be unfortunate if people circulated links like this one.

Been doing a "timeline order" rewatch of the #MCU series on #DisneyPlus.

#SecretInvasion is worse than I remembered, which is saying something.

And #WhatIf session 3 is worse than the first two, which is also saying something.

#Echo kind of sucked too, though the setup for #Daredevil was nice.

Third and final course: linguine with seafood marinara including baby clams, shrimp, scallops and lobster tail. Some of the fam had trouble with the tails, not being used to having them. I just stuck a fork down mine and disemboweled it. 😎. 4/4 #food #foodie #ChristmasEve #SevenFishes

Second course: cod fish cakes with horseradish remoulade. I would have liked to have used baccala but didn't have time to get it (hard to do in Georgia!) and rehydrate it. When I made the remoulade I tasted it and thought "this could be spicier....noooo, it'll be fine" 😎. The heat was a bit sneaky. Mom actually used the lemon vinaigrette on hers. 3/4 #food #foodie #ChristmasEve #SevenFishes

My family had planned to skip Christmas Eve festivities this year. I expected to be working and Mom didn't feel up to making two holiday dinners. Then it turned out I would be free on the 24th so I stepped up to do a Feast of the Seven Fishes! 1/4 #food #foodie #ChristmasEve #SevenFishes

Cranberry cornbread, baked last night, based on the recipe I use for blueberry cornbread (link in comments). Good, but I think the blueberry version is better. Might benefit from having some orange zest or juice added.
