No, not him, the dessert.

"While executing a flawless Baked Alaska is still an impressive feat today, back when it was initially created, it would have been even more noteworthy. There were no electric ice cream machines, stand mixers to whip up flawless meringue, or blowtorches to effortlessly toast the exterior. It was a time-consuming treat that required many hands on deck to create all the components. While you can combine any flavors of ice cream and cake to create a Baked Alaska, the original version featured bananas, which were considered quite expensive and exotic at the time, as they had to be imported from Central America.

To reflect the effort and exotic ingredients required for the dessert, the original Delmonico's price tag would have been the equivalent of about $40 today. Though you can try it for about $24 now, you'll still get the same flavor experience as a diner in the Gilded Age, as the restaurant still uses the same classic flavor combination of walnut cake, apricot jam and banana gelato.

The dessert menu of many restaurants nowadays is a lot simpler, and the idea of a dessert that requires such precise timing and such a theatrical tableside presentation has fallen out of favor. However, it remains a unique sweet offering. While you're searching for it on a menu near you, we have the recipe for a mint version so you can whip one up at home."

#MAGAts #Epstein #Qanon

"Like sex trafficking panic more broadly, the Epstein files are a useful political tool—as long as they remain hidden.

Remember QAnon? The conspiracy theory, popular among President Donald Trump's supporters for years, held that a furtive network of satanic pedophiles had infiltrated political institutions, the press, and other echelons of power and influence. According to Q lore, Trump was working to expose and punish these cretins—who included Hillary Clinton and other prominent Democrats—and to end the child suffering, sex trafficking, and hormone harvesting that these horrible globalists were engaging in.

QAnon—itself preceded by the perhaps even more zany Pizzagate conspiracy—was too out there for mainstream Republicans to explicitly endorse. But neither would they explicitly condemn the theory or its believers, and they often seemed happy to play along with the narrative, touting Trump's alleged crackdown on child sex trafficking.

Republicans took a lot of flak for this, but of course, Democrats had been stoking sex trafficking panic for their own gain, too. QAnon didn't start in a vacuum; it followed two decades of mainstream media and politicians, both left and right, using the flimsiest evidence and most distorted data to falsely claim that America was in the midst of a sex trafficking epidemic."
