[Today In History @historigins]

In a 1997 episode of Baking with Julia, Julia Child was visibly moved and wiped away tears after tasting Nancy Silverton’s brioche tart with pears poached in wine. ⁠
⁠
She was so impressed by the tart’s perfect texture and flavor that, in a phrase that went down in history, she called it “a dessert to cry over,” while praising Silverton’s mastery of the art of baking.

@rjochoa Trust me all of #CowboysNation understands what a headache Romo was being a Cowboys fan. Go look at the Cowboys vs Broncos game, perfect example. In the end he was a undrafted QB who won just 2 playoff games, even Danny White was a better QB

@AdamSchefter @tyschmit I promise you the Cowboys will lose to the Cardinals this season, bet the house!

Keldon Johnson on the insane game-tying 3 by Wemby:

“If you ever play Call of Duty, and you get a 25 kill streak, it felt like he dropped a nuke down on the court.

It was crazy, that was a big time shot.”

😭😭😭

Just one reason why Ratatouille is the greatest animated movie of all time

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

Pixar hired a chef with three Michelin stars to design the dish in Ratatouille. Then they built the scene around the neuroscience of how taste triggers memory, and got Peter O’Toole to deliver one of the great monologues in animation history.

What you call “taste” is mostly smell. When you eat, molecules rise up the back of your throat into your nose. From there, smell takes a unique route. Every other sense (sight, sound, touch, even the actual taste your tongue picks up) gets filtered through a kind of switchboard in your brain first. Smell skips it. The smell heads straight to the parts of your brain that handle memory and emotion. Which is why one bite of food can drop you back into a moment from 30 years ago.

Ratatouille’s director, Brad Bird, built the entire flashback around this. Anton Ego takes one bite, and Pixar zooms the camera through his pupil into a childhood kitchen. The dish itself was Thomas Keller’s. His restaurant The French Laundry in California has three Michelin stars. He took a 1976 recipe by French chef Michel Guérard called confit byaldi (paper-thin vegetables spiraled over a tomato-pepper sauce) and adapted it for the film. Keller even had Pixar’s producer intern in his kitchen for months to get the look right.

Anton Ego is voiced by Peter O’Toole, the lead in Lawrence of Arabia. He was nominated for Best Actor eight times. Never won. He holds the record (tied with Glenn Close) for most nominations without a win, and once called himself the Academy’s “Biggest Loser.” He was 75 when he recorded the Anton Ego monologue. He died six years later, and it became one of his signature performances.

The speech was Brad Bird’s. In the review he writes the next morning, Anton Ego turns on his own profession. Critics risk almost nothing, he writes. They thrive on tearing strangers apart. The only risk that matters, he writes, is defending new talent when no one else will. He ends with the line everyone still quotes: “a great artist can come from anywhere.”

Ratatouille won Best Animated Feature at the 2008 Oscars, plus a Best Original Screenplay nomination on the strength of Bird’s speech. The film grossed $624 million on a $150 million budget.

In 90 seconds, a cartoon rat and a fictional food critic turn that science into something you can feel. Your best memories live in your stomach.

I just watched #TheCrash on #Netflix and I just hope MacKenzie Shirilla doesn't have any brothers or sisters. Where did Gen X parenting go so wrong? Is this why Gen Z is cooked?

If you have never been, well... no words

@Brandoniswrite All I will ever remember from 2014 was the fumble by Demarco Murray. Julius Peppers was being blocked, stuck his hand out and the Cowboys curse reared it's ugly head. Murray would still be running today if that miracle didn't happen

@ChefReactions I finally moved to a place that has 300+ days of sun a year. It was by far the best thing I ever did and my mental health is at an all time high. If you ever get a chance, take it...

[ReeRay1 @ReeRay1]

@rjochoa I give you alot of grief alot of time but this, this is it. Maybe there is a sliver of hope, maybe this is the first domino to fall in good favor for cowboys, finally. For once I am just as excited as you and completely content at this moment
