You Need to Dip a Clementine in Cinnamon Sugar

I’m good at cooking meals, but bad at eating them. My preferred method of food consumption is snacking, also known as “luxurious grazing.” I like to lay out an array of little treats, with varying flavors and textures to create a wide variety of what my friend Catie calls “mouth experiences.” This little fruit snack is my favorite new mouth experience.

I did a lot of luxurious grazing last night. I started with some chips, moved on to feta and caper marinated chicken (for work), made a little cheese plate with some MSG pickles, ate a doughnut, made and consumed two pieces of toast (one garlic and one cinnamon sugar) then rounded out the evening by inhaling far too many Cuties brand clementines. While eating the fruit, my gaze lingered on the cinnamon sugar I had used to make my toast.

“Should I?” I thought.

I did, and it was the right call. Dipping a segment of clementine (or any tart and sweet citrus fruit) into cinnamon sugar is something everyone should do. It tastes like candy, like Christmas, like all of the good parts of winter and none of the bad. It’s bright and juicy, sweet and tangy, and warm and inviting—it’s a welcoming, comforting little fruit snack, and I cannot stop eating it. (It’s dusting your wets, fruit edition.)

My preferred method is peeling the fruit, removing the most aggressive white stringy bits, and dipping each segment into a pile of cinnamon sugar, using Jennifer Garner’s ratio of 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. You could also peel and slice the clementines with a knife (to remove even more pith), or even supreme the little guys, and arrange the slices artfully on a plate before sprinkling the sweet and heady mixture on top of the citrus. I really don’t care how you do it, just get these little jewels into your mouth immediately; they really are the best of what winter has to offer.

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
