Horror Movie Survival Guide

A podcast to check out this October

Horror Movie Survival Guide is a weekly podcast where longtime friends — and unlikely gore enthusiasts — Julia Marchese and Teri Gamble watch and dissect horror films through the lens of survival. Every episode asks the essential question: how do you make it to the end credits as the Final Girl? From cult classics on VHS to contemporary releases, they dive into obscure details, imagine alternate casting choices, swoon over charming rogues and unsettling uncles, and equip themselves (and listeners) with the tools needed to outlast the horrors on screen.

Forever looking for simple side dishes to serve with heavy meals, like Chicken Francese, Smothered Pork Chops or a succulent, steakhouse steak? Look no further because this fresh and healthy side dish is the added green crunch you’ve been looking for.

Fresh, crunchy sugar snap peas sautéed to perfection in oil and butter… there’s nothing better!

how to cook sugar snap peas

All you need is a coarse salt. I recommend sea salt, Kosher salt or Himalayan salt for this, rather than table salt. The flavour and texture you get from high quality salt outshines the finer granules of table salt.

This sugar snap peas recipe is more of a base recipe in that it is super versatile. You can completely make it your own to suit your own flavour and textural preferences. Add some Sriracha sauce or seasoning, toasted pine nuts, crushed garlic, a sprinkle of parmesan, sliced almonds… the choices are endless!

INGREDIENTS

USMetric

▢ 2 teaspoons olive oil
▢ 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
▢ 1 pound sugar snap peas stem ends and string removed from each pod
▢ 1 teaspoon coarse salt plus extra to serve
▢ ½ teaspoon black pepper
▢ 1 pinch cayenne pepper optional for some heat

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oil and butter together in a large pan over medium-high heat. When butter has melted, add the snap peas, tossing them around in the pan to coat in the oil/butter mixture. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne (if using) and sauté for until the snap peas are crisp-tender, about 4-5 minutes
Transfer to a serving bowl; season with extra coarse salt and pepper to serve.

NOTES

Tip: Try to use high quality salt for better texture and flavour!

Why academia is compromised

A fake study gets published because it vilified men, suggests they be trained like dogs and that dog parks promote “rape culture”.

But don’t worry academics did mention, black feminist criminology could improve it.
