Alison Roman, I’m begging you 🙏

Alison Roman’s extremely low-effort recipes continue, much to the chagrin of her paid subscribers.

Last week was a three ingredient zucchini omelette she made for her toddler and he refused to eat.

This week her recipe for PAID subscribers is adding a can of chickpeas to some tomatoes pasta leftovers she had and bringing it to the beach.

I have been a long time Alison fan—I have all her cookbooks and I’ve been a paid subscriber to her newsletter, but this is the last straw.

I wouldn‘t be this annoyed if these recipes were free, or if she just paused her newsletter for awhile if she wants to spend more time with her baby. But I’m so annoyed that she‘s continued to do the absolute bare minimum while charging her paid subscribers full price for recipes that used to be more than just leftovers with a tin of chickpeas added 🤷🏼‍♀️

Anyone else been following the lead pollution studies and coverage about Omaha?

I came across this independent investigation by ProPublica and the Flatwater Free Press about lead pollution in Omaha. I really had no idea Omaha’s history of lead pollution and being a Superfund site, or that this problem is really persisting today. Good to be aware of if you or your family live in East Omaha, especially if you have kids or if you garden.

Note that there’s a link in the article if you live in Carter Lake or Council Bluffs and want to get your soil tested.

For getting your Italian citizenship through marriage: did you need to apostille the FBI background check? Where?

Hoping someone else has gone through this as I’m finding unclear information online.

I’m an American living in Italy and applying to my Italian citizenship through marriage.

I have just received my FBI background check, but I’m unclear if I need to have it apostilled in the US? in my home state? or through the US embassy in Italy?

Do I have it translated first and then apostilled, or apostilled and then translated?

thanks so much in advance! 🙏🙏

Regional independence movements in Italy? Just for curiosity.

I am a foreigner living in Italy, but am still understanding a lot about the culture and politics. I have been in Spain the past two weeks, in the Basque Country and Barcelona/Catalonia. It seems that these two regions have somewhat strong independence movements—their regional flags are everywhere, there’s a strong emphasis I on maintaining the Basque and Catalan languages, and I’ve seen signs for independence in people’s windows (even though our tour guide said it’s still a vocal minority).

I’m curious about Italian regional independence movements and why they have or haven’t happened.

Other than Lega Nord proposing to divide Italy into north and south (which I can’t understand if they’re actually serious about or if people would support?) and Süd Tirol/Trentino Alto Aldige being able to maintain semi-autonomous status and to maintain a lot of their unique culture, I don’t really know about any other regional independence movements within Italy, or why they don’t exist if they aren’t really a thing.

Would love to hear more about this from Italians.
