I remember the first time I cooked beans in Haiti. It was 2010, right after the earthquake. I thought I knew what I was doing…Spanish-style, the way I always had.

The women cooking in the camp stopped me. They showed me their way. Slow-cooked…mashed into a purée…served over rice.

In that moment, I learned what it really means to help after a disaster. You don't come with your own recipes. You listen. You follow. You learn.

16 years later, that lesson is still the foundation of everything @wckitchen does in Haiti. Our local teams and @HASHaiti partners are cooking that same recipe - the right recipe - for families displaced by violence. And this past year, comforting food like those beans, that purée, that bowl of rice have added up to 10 million meals.

Only thing left to say to CBS after reading that powerful Scott Pelley statement is…..with a little help from David Letterman:

"In the words of the great Edward Murrow, 'Good night and good luck, motherf*ckers!'"

The video for "Where The Streets Have No Name" was recorded live on the roof of a liquor store in Los Angeles (1987). U2 played the whole song non-stop and the crowd that formed on the street was so large that it caused a gigantic traffic jam. The police arrived, threatened to arrest everyone and turn off the power, but the band finished the song anyway.

Giving Donald Trump and his kids immunity from any future audits from the IRS is like giving Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend a beauty pageant called ‘Miss Teen USA’ or TV show to a bankrupt mob money launderer so he could pretend to be a billionaire to folks who think Fox is news.

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.
