Chocolate chip cookies, but the baked ones, not the ooey-gooey ones.
As for Justified, Raylan does seem cooler/more collected than before- especially in scenes where he's playing against someone like Bryl in the "Kokomo" episode.
Mansell is no Crowder. Period.
It's an admittedly odd comparison, but he reminds me of a less hyper Dickie Bennett- like maybe Dickie's older, more chill brother. I dunno.
Is there anyone out there that is a fan of his Raylan's daughter? Her character seems like one that would've been better discussed but never seen (if that makes sense).
I did not make the Dickie Bennett comparison but you're absolutely right!
I like the inclusion of Raylan's daughter in the story. It gives his character another facet. I'm less enthused that they cast Olyphant's actual daughter.
Chocolate Chips-100% GOAT cookies that I never get tired of eating and making. I'm also constantly Frankensteining my recipe, which is delicious lab work! Justified: City....okay, I knew I didn't have to make some kind of juju spell to conjure up your discussion. Also caught up and I think Kokomo EP is where the series has finally found its footing. I have felt like Raylan is, not lost, but it's like they have to build these relationships quickly because he's not in Harlan, which takes time while also developing the plot. I guess what I'm saying is I wish we were settling in for a 3-season series..you know what I mean? I also love the supporting cast and would absolutely watch some permutation of that entire cast. I was never so happy to see Raylan pack his wispy, watery, baby-talking-jesus-is-that-really-your-grown-ass-voice, as you said, quasi-stoned daughter off to the airport. Terrible character. Please to not come back, please. I eagerly look forward to Clement getting stuffed in a trash compactor in his tighties. He is a poor Boyd knock-off, the Armanchi suits of bad guys. And he's just disgusting. I'm saying this while currently re-watching The Sopranos and reading the oral history book Woke Up this Morning by Michael Imperioli and Steve Schrippa, so I'm knee deep in space scum :) JOHNNY FIVE ALIVE ON my friend! Thanks for this! X!
I wish City Primeval was going to be a three-season series and not a one-off mini-series. I'll always take more Raylan, but I'm really digging the new blue collar vibe.
Btw, Short Circuit is something I'll be rewatching soon and likely writing about.
Check out my go-to recipe for chocolate chip cookies in the summer. They require only basic ingredients, can be prepared in a single bowl, and stored in either the fridge or freezer - a win-win situation. You can skip the oats or coconut and they'll still taste great. When it comes to vegan butter, I prefer Trader Joe's, but Kerry's Gold is also a viable option. https://minimalistbaker.com/1-bowl-cowgirl-cookies-vegan-gluten-free/
I was entertaining the idea of checking out The Terminal List solely for Kitsch, but your few lines here now convinced me not to. To repeat what you said about books, there are waaaay too many great series to waste time on the trash (and generic-looking) ones.
However, if you missed Station Eleven last year, I urge you to watch it. I think it's the kind of stuff that you might dig. (It's sci-fi, mystery, and drama in a post-apocalyptic setup). I don't remember the last time a show challenged me this much mentally (and also emotionally), and I mean that in the best possible way.
You had me laughing out loud more than once. Thank you!!! My husband and I are huge fans of Justified and are working on City Primeval ... every delicious second of it. I’m hugely disappointed there are only six episodes too. (Do you know if that has anything to do with the writer’s strike?) My best cookies are bacon chocolate chip...The Husband eats them almost faster than I can get them out of the oven.
City Primeval finished production long before the strike. The short season is intentional. It's a real bummer. But bacon chocolate chip cookies sound really interesting!

Definitely skip The Terminal List. Not worth your time.
Station Eleven is incredible. The book is one of my all-time favs.
Love the positive vibes - high five
