Wow how could I forget Common Side Effects?? I'm happy it's getting a second season but sad Scavengers Reign wasn't so lucky :( something tells me CSE is going to hit mainstream popularity though.

Get ready for a little existential crisis after watching Pantheon (at least that's what happened to me). I loved it!

Scavenger's Reign and Pantheon

This isn't quite right. People in Paris are equal opportunities assholes. There are higher concentrations of xenophobes outside of the big cities.

It's not about money, it's about power and control.

This is not terribly unusual for a municipal referendum vote on Paris. The SUV vote had just under 6% turnout, the electric scooter vote had about 7.5%.

I bet these were already made before the question was even posted. If you're not constantly making crêpes, can you even call yourself French?

I've saved a few recipes over time, here are my favourites:

For legs/drumsticks: https://natashaskitchen.com/baked-chicken-legs-with-garlic-and-dijon/

If I don't have time to marinade overnight: https://www.modernhoney.com/the-best-chicken-marinade-recipe/

Easy crowd pleaser: https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/perfectly-grilled-chicken-breasts.html

If you have tahini lying around: https://www.thechunkychef.com/tahini-marinated-chicken-buddha-bowl/

Fajitas: https://www.onceuponachef.com/recipes/chicken-fajitas.html

I have a couple of tips to improve on pretty much any marinade recipe:

  • Lemon/lime juice: Omit if you're marinating for more than 1h and replace instead with zest. The acid will cook the meat and the exterior will be drier.

  • Brine: I usually wet brine before in a water+ salt mixture (1 Tbsp kosher salt/1 cup water, NOT table salt) for 1h for chicken breast, 2h for thighs/legs, then marinade. If you do this, don't add salt to your marinade. Do not do this if your marinade recipe calls for soy sauce or anything equally salty.

Also if you want to try fried chicken without deep frying I suggest brining some skin on thighs/legs then trying the following recipe: https://www.thespruceeats.com/southern-oven-fried-chicken-3058647

It's not exactly healthier but it is pretty tasty. It's even better of you can use ghee instead of butter but that might be harder to get your hands on.

If you're in France there's the Carte Bancaire.

Edit: I've just looked into Revolut and they're UK based with operations throughout Europe, so they might be an alternative for online payments across borders.
