At Balai Pata, a new Filipino restaurant in Kahului, a celebration of the flavors that the chef and owner Joey Macadangdang grew up with is a welcome addition to Maui’s restaurant scene. Plump Kauai prawns sauteed in garlicky fish sauce ($17) set the stage for savory sinigang ($30) — tamarind broth loaded with long beans, okra and fish. For dessert, two can share the halo-halo ($18) — crushed ice topped with avocado, ube ice cream, coconut cream and fruit jellies, served in a coconut shell.

We also highly recommend the Chef’s 1/2 LB Cheeseburger if you’re looking for a familiar staple. Experience open-air dining with stunning ocean and island views, while indulging in locally sourced, contemporary island cuisine and handcrafted cocktails. Inspired by the legendary Duke Kahanamoku, this romantic hotspot invites you to create unforgettable memories and embrace the genuine aloha spirit. Duke began touring the world to teach his famous "Kahanamoku Kick" swimming technique and in December of 1914, starred in the first-ever surfing exhibition at Freshwater Beach, Sydney, Australia. At 21, he won his first Olympic gold medal and continued to represent the United States in the Olympics for 20 years, winning numerous more medals and setting several records.

Restaurant Hours

The morning light often reveals the hidden interior of ‘Īao Valley, your next destination. If you would rather speak to a real person or if you aren’t offered your desired time online, please call us. We’d love to talk to you and assist you any way we can. This mom-and-pop grocery offers the island’s best poke — raw fish mixed with traditional seasonings such as ground kukui nuts and seaweed (from $18 a pound).

Don’t miss the ‘Oko‘a Farm Store, which migrated from the market into an adjacent storefront. The store’s 46-acre farm supplies a cornucopia of tropical fruits and vegetables; its shelves teem with jars of pickled, powdered, and freeze-dried treats and tonics. Start your day with Molokai sweet bread french toast covered in lilikoi lava butter and a side of homemade macadamia nut granola served with fresh Hawaiian fruit. Drop by mid-day, and you'll have a variety of sandwiches, salads, and pupus to choose from, including panko-crusted calamari, chilled shrimp salad, beer-battered fish sandwich, and more.

Midway down Haleakalā, stop at the Upcountry Farmers Market. Every Saturday morning, the Kulamalu Town Center parking lot turns into a miniature street fair with live music and vendors offering a dizzying array of Maui-grown produce and prepared foods. You’ll find things to eat immediately — fresh coconut, vegan sweet-potato cheesecake and Venezuelan arepas — as well as things to stash in your suitcase, like passion-fruit butter and macadamia nuts.

Who is Duke Kahanamoku?

Notice how the silverswords (hedgehog-like plants that grow only here) sparkle in the golden light. As you descend, stop at Hosmer Grove, where a short hike leads to a forest full of Hawaiian honeycreepers, birds that are among some of the planet’s rarest. Today there are six open-air oceanfront Dukes locations offering gorgeous coastal views, a fun atmosphere, and delicious food. In 1989, the original Duke’s restaurant was born along the shores of Kalapaki Bay in Kauai. Loved by locals and travelers alike, the restaurant expanded three years later to the site of the original Outrigger Canoe Club on Waikiki Beach where Duke Kahanamoku became the legend he is today.

We highly recommend that your group book a reservation at Duke's Restaurant prior to your trip to guarantee a table and a great experience. The popular eatery can fill up one to two months in advance, especially during busy meal hours and Maui’s peak seasons. The Restaurant does have a waitlist, but you must be at the location in person to add your party, and wait times can be long. Guarantee your group a smooth, seamless process by making a reservation at Duke's ahead of time. One of our favorite and most recommended restaurants on Maui, Dukes Beach House, is located at the center of Honua Kai Resort & Spa along the islands west coast in Kaanapali.

The restaurant is a complete homage to “Hawaii’s Favorite Son” and late surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku. Duke was a world-famous Olympic athlete, an innovator of modern-day surfing, and a man who strived to share the true essence of Aloha wherever he went. Duke’s Beach House honors renowned waterman and Hawaii’s most famous son, Duke Kahanamoku.

Duke’s third location and our personal favorite, Duke’s Maui, came to life in 2009 on Kaanapali North Beach at the Honua Kai Resort and Spa. You don't need to travel to Hawaii to experience Duke's though. Three additional locations can be enjoyed along California's southern coast, including Malibu, Huntington Beach, and La Jolla. Perhaps Duke’s most famous menu item is its Hula Pie. The tasty chocolate macadamia nut dessert is one of Duke’s most shared menu items on social media and contributed to the restaurant being ranked Hawaii’s most Instagrammed restaurant by USA Today in 2016. Whatever you're into, we're sure Duke's menu has something delicious for everyone to try.

At the age of 21 he won his first Olympic gold medal, then went on to represent the United States in the Olympics for 20 years, winning not only medals but the hearts of people all over the world. He is remembered as a swimmer not just for remarkable speed, but for his grace in the water, his good humor, and his sportsmanship. We’ve expertly curated the top restaurants Maui has to offer.

Take the scenic drive back to sea level through historic Makawao and Paia towns. Bordered by a rodeo arena and a polo field, Makawao is the charming headquarters of the paniolo, Hawaiian cowboys who continue to rope and ride across the island’s lush ranchlands. On the corner of Makawao and Baldwin Avenues you’ll see T. Komoda Store and Bakery; this beloved family-run business, which has served the community since 1916, sells out of its cream puffs and butter rolls daily.

The décor reflects a bright, homespun aesthetic, and once a month, local families fill the restaurant for late-night happy hour and karaoke battles — check Instagram for dates. First, book a sunrise reservation at Haleakalā National Park well in advance ($1 permit, $30 park entrance). In the darkness, drive slowly up the 10,000-foot volcano; fog often obscures cattle and native geese loitering in hairpin turns. Your efforts will be rewarded at the peak — first by the velvet sky awash with stars, then by the sun’s rays spilling across the fire-forged mountain.

He was an Olympic swimmer and the father of modern day surfing but he may be best known for sharing his genuine spirit of Aloha. A trip to Maui isn’t complete without ducking underwater to spy on clouds of striped manini fish, eagle rays and turtles. Climb into the rigid-hulled raft beside two dozen other passengers (fewer than the big tour boats) and watch for dolphins. As you peer into the pristine bay formed by Maui’s youngest lava flow, imagine the Polynesian wayfinders sailing here centuries ago, followed by the French explorer La Pérouse in 1786. The Poke Tacos, Crab & Macadamia Nut Wontons, Seafood Risotto, and Banana Leaf Steamed Island Fish & Chips are some of our favorite options on the menu.

Add two scoops of rice and crunchy fern salad for a truly local meal. If you prefer a cooked lunch, visit Tails Up Maui for a classy fish sandwich ($19) or mochiko (rice flour) fried chicken ($17). Take your picnic to Kepaniwai Park, where model houses commemorate the diverse cultures of Hawaii’s sugar plantation era, and dip your feet into the Wailuku River. Continue to ‘Īao Valley State Monument (out-of-state visitors need reservations; $5 entrance fee, $10 parking). Paved walkways wind through a traditional lo‘i kalo (taro patch), past multiple waterfalls and up to a stunning lookout.

FACT SHEET: Biden-Harris Administration Continues Progress on Fight Against Global Illicit Drug Trafficking

• Flanked by Fat Joe, Harris urges DEA to 'get to it' on its marijuana review
• Gerald Ford's son and wife went public
• George Bush's drug policy speech was surprisingly controversial
• news Alerts
• More From the Los Angeles Times

In 1989, President George Bush sat in the Oval Office and looked into the camera to deliver a passionate speech. The history of drug legislation in the U.S. is complicated, and it only really started around 1909. Drugs, of course, have changed over the years, as has the stigma surrounding them, but even today, it almost goes without saying that it's illegal to have any of them on federal property — even the now-widely accepted marijuana. Read about the Biden-⁠Harris Administration’s efforts to crack down on illicit fentanyl supply chains HERE.

Flanked by Fat Joe, Harris urges DEA to 'get to it' on its marijuana review

He added that he was stepping forward to make the admission to prevent it from surfacing later and potentially impacting his father's political career. Ford went on record to say that although he didn't condone drug use, he did laud his son's honesty (via Time). Slick also has one of the most epic stories ever told about drugs in the White House. Slick had attended an all-girls finishing school called Finch College, and it was also the alma mater of Richard Nixon's daughter, Tricia. The Nixons were in the White House when Tricia decided to host a tea party for her school's prior graduates.

Gerald Ford's son and wife went public

Today’s progress is one of many actions that President Biden has taken to counter the global threat posed by the trafficking of illicit drugs into the United States that is causing the deaths of a hundred thousand Americans annually, as well as countless more non-fatal overdoses. There is bipartisan consensus, on the one hand, that draconian drug laws have been a travesty and, on the other, that the Constitution has nothing to say about them—even as high courts abroad have been leading the charge for drug liberalization. “Constitutional courts are increasingly ruling that the decision to use narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances falls within the scope of the moral autonomy of adults,” the Inter-American Juridical Committee of the Organization of American States noted in 2014. In democracies as diverse as Argentina, Canada, Georgia, and South Africa, constitutional protections for personal drug use are taking off.

George Bush's drug policy speech was surprisingly controversial

It also calls for actions that will expand access to evidence-based treatments that have been shown to reduce overdose risk and mortality. Finally, it emphasizes the need to develop stronger data collection and analysis systems to better deploy public health interventions. In defense of their decisions, these judges cited the value of judicial restraint and warned of the legal chaos that could result if they recognized too many claims of personal liberty or constitutionalized hard calls about the dangerousness of various substances.

Importantly, constitutional arguments can also be addressed to audiences other than courts. Many of the institutional considerations that have made judges reticent to wade into drug debates don’t apply to the other branches. The White House on Tuesday announced a government-wide plan to respond to a growing number of overdose deaths involving xylazine, also known as “tranq” and “the zombie drug,” a veterinary tranquilizer that can be particularly dangerous when mixed with opioids like fentanyl.

news Alerts

Unfortunately, there’s a big disconnect between the frequency of quality problems that trigger FDA recalls and the agency’s stand on generic drug quality. The plan also proposes incentives and penalties to induce hospitals to adopt more resilient sourcing of essential drugs. To assess how well they respond, the White House proposes a “Hospital Resilient Supply Program” that will score each hospital’s purchasing practices. Those who buy from drugmakers that are highly rated by the Manufacturing Resiliency Assessment Program will score better than those that do not. So will hospitals that buy drugs in quantity rather than relying on “just-in-time” delivery. Hospitals that execute long-term contracts to ensure stable supply will also receive higher scores—and the incentives that come with them.

In a statement, FDA spokesperson James McKinney said the agency "remains committed to issuing the tobacco product standards for menthol in cigarettes and characterizing flavors in cigars" as a top priority. "The administration's inaction is enabling the tobacco industry to continue aggressively marketing these products and attracting and addicting new users," Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association, said in a statement. The official said they are asking for more time to hear from outside groups, especially on the civil rights side. The Biden administration said Friday it would again delay a decision on a regulation aiming to ban menthol-flavored cigarettes, citing the "historic attention" and "immense amount of feedback" on the controversial proposal by the Food and Drug Administration. Reece says even simple questions, like someone asking her how she slept, gives her an opportunity to connect about mental health.

More From the Los Angeles Times

To help advance these Administration efforts, President Biden has requested $26 billion for prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery support services in his FY24 budget request. In addition, President Biden is requesting $1.55 billion in his supplemental budget request to strengthen these support services across the country. The Biden-Harris Administration has initiated new measures to disrupt the trafficking of illicit fentanyl and its precursors into American communities and dismantle the firearms trafficking networks that enable drug traffickers to grow their enterprises.

US Secret Service investigating as cocaine reportedly found in White House

Surging use of illicit drugs by Vietnam veterans, students, and college-educated professionals created new constituencies for reform. Government bodies issued report after report urging relaxation of the drug laws, especially the marijuana laws, as did establishment groups ranging from the American Bar Association and the American Medical Association to the Consumers Union and the National Council of Churches. Taking on Big Pharma to Deliver Lower Prescription Drug Costs for Seniors and FamiliesAfter decades of opposition, President Biden enacted a law that finally takes on Big Pharma and gives Medicare the power to negotiate drug prices. President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act will save millions of seniors money on some of the costliest prescription drugs on the market. Meanwhile, Big Pharma also executed over $135 billion in mergers and acquisitions in 2023 alone, while passing the cost to consumers.

Though the opioid fentanyl has already been an action item for the White House, its association with the non-opioid drug xylazine created a worsening issue to tackle. The White House has developed a new strategy to reduce the growing number of overdose deaths linked to xylazine, a potent animal sedative that’s increasingly being combined with opioids and other drugs. Today, President Biden sent his Administration’s inaugural National Drug Control Strategy to Congress at a time when drug overdoses have taken a heartbreaking toll, claiming 106,854 lives in the most recent 12-month period.

Learn more about actions the Biden-Harris Administration has taken to address addiction and the overdose epidemic. An official familiar with the investigation told the newspaper that the amount of the substance was small. The congressional committees were briefed behind closed doors Thursday morning in response to a request last week from Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., who sent a letter asking Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle for a staff-level briefing on the investigation by July 14. The Situation Room, located in the West Wing, where staffers would also drop their phones before entering, has been undergoing construction work and was not in use at the time the baggie was found, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said last week.

The small plastic baggie with a powdered substance — which was found in a storage cubby at the White House on a Sunday evening this month — was subjected to advanced testing and examined at two federal labs, but no usable fingerprints or DNA were detected, the officials said. Never mind that Senate Republicans let the former president off the hook each time. The clownish lead investigator, House Oversight Committee chair and Fox News regular Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, last month told donors in a fundraising letter — notice a pattern here, Republican leaders playing to monied interests? — that instead of seeking Biden’s impeachment, he’ll send a criminal referral (again, crimes TBD) to the Justice Department.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre described the location as “highly traveled,” saying, “West Wing visitors come through this particular area.” She said staff-led tours were held Friday, Saturday and Sunday before the drug was found. The unusual breach of White House security was found July 2 when a uniformed Secret Service officer spotted a small plastic baggie in a storage cubby at the West Executive Avenue entrance on the ground level. Visitors, contractors, military personnel and staff members use the storage cubbies to drop off electronic devices and personal items not permitted in some areas of the West Wing. The vestibule is near the Situation Room, which is out of service for renovations; an alternative secure meeting room is being used for classified briefings during construction. Secret Service representatives briefed members of the House Oversight and Homeland Security committees on Capitol Hill on Thursday after lawmakers requested answers on the probe and security protocols at the White House. The Secret Service received results Wednesday from tests conducted by the FBI, “which did not develop latent fingerprints and insufficient DNA was present for investigative comparisons,” the Secret Service said in a statement Thursday.

Officers found the cocaine during a routine patrol, a Secret Service official said. Forensic work on the cocaine bag continued Thursday, though officials are setting low expectations that they will be able to identify who left it. The cocaine was found in an entrance area between the foyer and a lower-level lobby, the sources said. The entrance is near where some vehicles, like the vice president’s limo or SUV, park. It is one floor below the main West Wing offices and on the same floor as the Situation Room and a dining area. Investigators expect to be done with the investigation by Monday, said two sources familiar with the investigation.

The Strategy delivers on the call to action in President Biden’s Unity Agenda through a whole-of-government approach to beat the overdose epidemic. “Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered,” Secret Service officials said in the summary. Overseeing Tuesday’s panel and advocating for the administration’s federal action plan was Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris.

President Biden has made beating the overdose epidemic a key priority in his Unity Agenda for the Nation, including a focus on cracking down on global illicit drug trafficking and disrupting the flow of illicit fentanyl and its precursors. History suggests that constitutional advocacy could still do important work, notwithstanding the progress that has been made. American drug policy has been characterized by cycles of racialized moral panic and reactionary legislation, punctuated by periods of liberalization. Now that the country finds itself in another moment when humane, evidence-based drug reform is on the table, proponents would do well to entrench as much of it in constitutional law as they can before the next panic arrives. Some judges in the 1970s struck down criminal penalties for drug offenses as “cruel and unusual punishments” in contravention of the Eighth Amendment. After the Supreme Court held in 1962 that it is impermissibly cruel to punish people for the status of being an addict, a series of lower courts reasoned that it must likewise be cruel to punish them for procuring or consuming a drug to which they’re addicted.

Go all the way back to the days of Thomas Jefferson, though, and it was a different story. Jefferson famously believed in the healing power of natural remedies, and relied on Peruvian bark — aka quinine — for relief from the headaches he suffered throughout his life. By 1790, it had ceased to work, though he continued to use the drug at least occasionally during his presidency. Once it stopped working, the only thing that seemed to give him some relief was a little R&R away from the unsurprisingly headache-inducing business of government. The Biden-Harris Administration has already taken significant actions to address addiction and the overdose epidemic based on the President’s Drug Policy Priorities for Year One. Even if he was receiving it, there’s a good chance Roosevelt wouldn’t have known about it.

After his death, Mount Vernon cataloged nine medical texts in his library, and noted that he regularly ordered a wide array of medicines from Britain. Besides laudanum, these included Venice treacle, a compound that often contained opium. Washington did indulge in some of the best denture technology available to him, but the hippopotamus-tusk dentures that were fitted over his one remaining tooth were painful to wear nearly all the time — including during his presidency. Also known as an opium tincture, it was effective as a painkiller, but it was also extremely addictive. A Secret Service spokesman, Anthony Guglielmi, told the Post that the discovery led to an elevated security alert and a brief evacuation of the executive mansion after it was found during a routine inspection. On Tuesday morning, Mr. Biden returned to the White House with several of his family members.

US Secret Service investigating as cocaine reportedly found in White House

President Biden and his family were away at Camp David when a uniformed Secret Service agent found the substance during a patrol of the West Wing around 6 p.m. On Sunday, the person said, prompting a brief shutdown of some of the White House campus as response workers assessed whether the substance was hazardous. A small amount of a white powdery substance was found in the White House on Sunday evening, according to a person familiar with the episode, and an initial test by emergency response workers determined that it was cocaine.

Guglielmi had told the Washington Post that there is “an investigation into the cause and manner” of how the substance entered the White House. The US president and first lady Jill Biden returned from the presidential retreat in Maryland to the White House on Tuesday morning. A preliminary field test on a white substance found in the White House has reportedly come up positive for cocaine, law enforcement authorities said, and the US Secret Service was investigating on Tuesday how it came to be at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Later that month, the National Institutes of Health issued a call for harm reduction research that mentioned safe consumption sites, among other approaches. After decades of waging a ruinous and counterproductive war on drugs, the U.S. government is finally taking steps in a new direction. "Even if there were surveillance cameras, unless you were waving it around, it may not have been caught. It's a bit of a thoroughfare. People walk by there all the time." Psaki also confirmed that the White House would be taking a more lenient stance on recent marijuana use, especially considering the fact that many states were legalizing it. Anyone hired would not be allowed to use marijuana while employed by the White House, but officials said that they foresaw a new era where (via NBC News) "well-qualified applicants with limited marijuana use will not be barred from serving the American people."

More testing was done to review the chemical composition of the powder, the statement continued. WASHINGTON — The mystery of who brought cocaine into the White House remains unsolved. The Secret Service investigation has concluded with no usable forensic or video evidence identifying the person responsible, three Secret Service officials familiar with the investigation said. The lobby is open to staff-led tours of the West Wing, which are scheduled for nonworking hours on the weekends and evenings.

The two facilities — which the city calls “overdose prevention centers” — provide a monitored place for drug users to partake, with staffers and supplies on hand to reverse overdoses. This legal framework fell apart in the 1910s, never to return, after a wave of prohibitory laws swept the nation and courts embraced a broader view of the government’s regulatory powers. By the mid-twentieth century, state and federal lawmakers had constitutional carte blanche to penalize drug possession and consumption as well as production and distribution.

President Joe Biden and his family were at the presidential retreat at Camp David, Maryland, not the White House, when officers discovered the cocaine. “Western media we see you, and all the horrors that you hide,” crowds chanted at one point. In previous years, Biden, like most of his predecessors, has used the glitzy annual White House Correspondents’ Association gala to needle media coverage of his administration and jab at political rivals, notably Republican rival Donald Trump.

A senior administration official said it was hard to put a timeline on the delay, citing lingering disagreements after "months of hard conversations." "Suicide affects everyone. It doesn't matter your age, race or gender," Emhoff said. Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff shared the grim numbers of the growing public health crisis.

The agency, along with the FBI, tested the packet to determine it was cocaine and looked for any fingerprints or DNA evidence. Video footage of the area where the baggie was found also provided no evidence to narrow the possible suspects beyond a list of roughly 500 staff members and visitors who passed through during a weekend earlier this month. “Since the Israel-Gaza war began, journalists have been paying the highest price— their lives—to defend our right to the truth.

In recent years, xylazine, which is commonly known as “tranq,” has helped to accelerate the already-deadly U.S. drug crisis. The drug is increasingly being mixed into illicit opioids like fentanyl, contributing to overdose spikes across the country, particularly in northeastern cities like Philadelphia and New York. The Biden-Harris administration launched this morning a national response plan to address the increasing presence of fentanyl combined with the animal tranquilizer xylazine and to lower overdose deaths from the lethal combination by 15%. The White House is marshaling a new plan to try to beef up testing, tracking and treatment for street drugs laced with xylazine, a veterinary tranquilizer that has contributed to a surge of overdose deaths across the country. The PRC is now taking law enforcement action against illicit precursor suppliers, has issued a notice to industry warning Chinese companies against illicit trade in precursor chemicals and pill presses equipment, and has committed to restart key law enforcement cooperation.

These will help create a sense of cohesion between all the recipes. You don’t want too many small items competing for attention on each page. In essence, make sure you include only one recipe and its corresponding image per page so nothing gets lost. Then, inspire visual interest with bold colors and statement images; you can even experiment with negative space to draw the reader’s eye.

The smallest trim size we’ll discuss here is 6 x 9 inches. Use this if your recipes are all fairly similar in structure and you don’t require large illustrations. You’ll set up parent (master) pages with a text frame at the top for the recipe title and introduction (I).

And while I have used a reliable bag of Maseca throughout my life to make tortillas, it wasn’t until I tried Masienda’s masa that my cooking changed for the better. They believe that food is as much about spirit as it is about appetite and they have a very specific ethic around employee empowerment, farm-to-table freshness, food made with love and (of course) gratitude. Guzmán grew up in rural Veracruz, Mexico, learning to cook from his mother Alicia.

An Easy Project to Preserve Cherished Family Recipes

When you plan your layout in advance, you can focus on the photos and recipes that take up a full page in the book or sit adjacent to a full-bleed image. In this stage, you can ensure your cookbook is starting to flow even before you add the content. Perhaps the most ingenious facet of this sequel — and one so useful it’s a marvel it isn’t included in all books linked to ample online content — is the addition of QR codes at the corner of every recipe. With the simple opening of your phone’s camera you’ll be taken to the recipe’s corresponding “Pasta Grannies” episode on Youtube, the method laid out in video form, the nonne come to life. It’s a true marvel these methods and recipes are preserved, and with Bennison’s latest cookbook, she makes accessing, visualizing and knowing these Italian grannies and their kitchen secrets all the more effortless.

Whimsical Cookbook Layout

For a quick and easily printed (or even photocopied) recipe book that you might want to send to your family or use for a fundraiser, consider an 8.5 x 11” trim size. It could be GBC (Cerlox) bound, spiral bound, or something else (see p. 408). This size allows for all kinds of extras and large photos.

Compilation cookbooks can, ironically, often suffer from a lack of a theme beyond a loose naming conceit. However, “Food52 Simply Genius” by Kristen Miglore is not one of them. Each recipe hinges on a brilliant but simple hack or flavor twist that instantly makes you want to earmark the page for every recipe to make in the future. And in Dana Velden’s fluffy buttermilk pancakes, un-beaten egg whites add stability and texture instead of the typical whipped egg whites, saving you time and a sore arm. Whichever recipe you choose to take on, you’ll learn something new about cooking that you didn’t before — and those are the types of books you want on your shelf forever.

In Book Design Made Simple we describe how to set up a grid where the main text column is 2 or 3 columns wide (but all in one column) and the narrow column is 1 column wide (page 126). You may attempt to achieve this symmetry, or even try another combination such as 3 and 2 columns, but it’s likely that your recipes will not fit in this nice, neat way. If not, simply make the columns the correct width to accommodate your longest ingredient list and your longest set of instructions, and leave a comfortable amount of space (0.25 in. or more) between them. Once again, your parent (master) pages will have a text frame at the top for the recipe title and introduction (I).

That’s why I was so excited to read through Brian Levy’s “Good & Sweet” dedicated to baking with no refined sweeteners.

Nina DeeDee’s beans are lately my go-to Sunday one-pot — made with just five ingredients, including copious amounts of cheese. This 2019 cookbook is a fully updated edition of Tartine’s classic baking cookbook. Tartine sells some truly amazing baked goods out of their tiny outpost in San Francisco’s Mission.

A thumb rule is to add a thumb space at the bottom of the page and a wide inner margin. Adding authentic images of food like fresh lemons or steamy pasta positively impacts readers. Photographs will help your readers to visualize the end product — how the food will look which will entice their senses and ignite their curiosity.

A small collection of cupcake recipes won’t need the same space as a book of 50 family favorites. Consider a small 7×7 photo book for those cupcakes and the more spacious trade book for detailed recipes. No matter the page size or recipe length, make sure your trim size leaves plenty of room for white space along the border of your content so that it’s aesthetically pleasing and easy to read. For cookbooks, we recommend doing a Layflat photo book where the pages literally lay flat, so you can have your book open on the counter instead of struggling to flip to a recipe with messy hands.

Since joining the CB team she has covered numerous TV shows and movies -- including her personal favorite shows Ted Lasso and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. She also has followed and consistently written about everything from Taylor Swift to Fire Country, and she's enjoyed every second of it. BARBIE'S dreamhouse is considered prime real estate in Greta Gerwig's film of the same name.

Mojo Dojo Casa House Ken Costume

Even though the star of the movie is Barbie, there’s another character that’s winning the hearts of admirers all over the world. Another niche of memes includes a split image of two options where the Mojo Dojo Casa House is referred to as the less viable of the choices. Following the Barbie movie's theatrical release, the Mojo Dojo Casa House has been the center of several online memes. Ryan Gosling’s portrayal of Ken is incredibly heartfelt and he’s rightfully earning a lot of praise.

They classify the toy as “a statement look inspired by Ken’s rebel rocker outfit in Barbie The Movie,” per Mattel. The doll features the black fringe vest, joggers and white shoes worn by Ken in the beach war scene, topped with the faux fur coat. I for one, can’t stop laughing about all the memes that have emerged about the name Ken gives the dreamhouses after Barbie Land becomes the Kendom.

Good food, traveling and having fun are a few of my favorite things. The doll which you may recognize from the movie played by Ryan Gosling features an entirely new look with several accessories. Ashley Lee is a staff reporter at the Los Angeles Times, where she writes about theater, movies, television and the bustling intersection of the stage and the screen.

For example, @AlDANS_ posted a silly throwback about Crazy Stupid Love, noting that Gosling’s character Jacob had the OG mojo dojo casa house. And thinking back about all those QVC purchases he made in the 2011 comedy, I totally agree. Ken’s outfit in this scene includes him in a faux fur white statement coat, a horse pendant, cat-eye sunglasses, a lightning headband, fingerless black gloves, a fanny pack with “Ken” emblazoned on it and black pants.

As it turns out, Greenwood and Spencer came at this project with a specific reference point in mind—the pop artist Richard Hamilton’s 1956 collage Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing. Like the Mojo Dojo Casa House, the collage is a dissonant amalgamation of imagery, all slapped together around the image of a nude muscle man who is holding a big, orange lollipop in front of his junk. The “Barbie” production team explains how they made Barbie Land so appealing—and their biggest inspiration as they buried it under a pile of TVs.

Ken's Mojo Dojo Casa House Has Become the Perfect 'Barbie' Meme - The Mary Sue

Ken's Mojo Dojo Casa House Has Become the Perfect 'Barbie' Meme.

Posted: Wed, 26 Jul 2023 07:00:00 GMT [source]

To see the mojo dojo casa houses on the big screen, Barbie is playing in cinemas nationwide. As expected, a meme inspired by Ken’s home is already dominating social media. Just days after Barbie’s release, Twitter user Dr. Sean Travers tweeted, “Take him to the mojo dojo casa house,” complete with a photo of the yellow pyramid building from Midsommar. And we can't forget the fabulous outfits seen throughout the film (that can now also be seen on collectible Barbie movie dolls) like cowgirl chic getup and groovy disco wear.

Ryan Gosling and Greta Gerwig on how Ken became the subversive center of ‘Barbie’

And though he acquires everything a man could want (Horses! Hummers! Mini fridges with beer!), he still doesn’t have the undivided attention he desperately craves from Barbie. Part power ballad, part battle sequence and part dream ballet, “I’m Just Ken” arrives onscreen like an elaborate bit, or an excuse for Ryan Gosling to flex his Oscar-nominated vocal cords and reprise his viral dance routines. And yet it’s an absolute showstopper, one as ridiculous as it is ideologically ambitious and visually astute. Like the powerful monologue America Ferrera delivers about the impossibilities of being a woman, this five-minute sequence is an empathetic acknowledgment of the pressures put on men to (literally) perform their masculinity, often to toxic lengths.

With a bandana around your head and a fanny pack around your waist, you'll be ready for your very own rendition of Ryan Gosling's "I'm Just Ken" song from the Barbie movie soundtrack. If you've got an oversized fur coat laying around, now would be the time to pull it out. The doll, comes dressed in a white faux fur coat with a black fringed vest underneath, joggers, and white sneakers.

It has horses and mini fridges with little freezers that don't work. Ken stays behind in Barbie Land and Barbie decides to live her life in the real world. Despite his love becoming unrequited, Barbie helps Ken realize he's not "just Ken," and that he possesses other great qualities. However, the habitant seems to be unaware when hosting other people. While most of these retailers offer fast shipping, there's not much time left to pull everything together before Halloween, so don't wait an extra second to order your Ken costume.

Ken turns the house into a bit of a bachelor pad and deems it the "mojo dojo casa house," a nonsensical name considering "casa" means "house" in Spanish. The scene became a fast favorite among fans of the movie and spread to social media over the following days. I’ve been absolutely loving all these memes about the mojo dojo casa houses. Along with the really moment when the Kens singing Matchbox 20’s “Push” and the little humorous reference to Zack Snyder’s Justice League, there are so many funny moments in Barbie that highlight just how funny the boys of Barbie Land are.

Speaking of that wonderful wardrobe, we already know Barbie costumes inspired by Margot Robbie's array of iconic ensembles will be the most popular (and correct) choice for Halloween this year, but what about Ken? He might just be Ken, but every Barbie needs her strapping sidekick! Either way, there are plenty of Ken Halloween costumes to choose from. Looking for a Ken costume that'll stand out from the other Kens at the party?

Videos about the costume have garnered 21.5 million views on the social media platform. Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House is an unholy blend of dark woods, horse imagery, and leather. There’s a saloon door in front, one of those giant and hideous ergonomic gaming desk chairs in the living room, and way too many cowboy hats on the wall. For his part, Heath said the home really grabbed his attention, adding he daydreamed of living there. An ebony black pool table holds pride of place in the living room, with persimmon-colored walls adorned with patterns of Nanoleaf LED lights providing a striking counterpoint.

Where the Barbies are individuated by their professions—Lawyer Barbie, Diplomat Barbie—the Kens are simply Ken. There had been rehearsals for Gosling to dance in a Sylvester Stallone-in-the-’80s-style, full-length mink coat that Ken wears once he becomes obsessed with men’s rights, so Gosling wasn’t thrown by the addition of an even more elaborate dance number just before shooting began. When Ryan Gosling first got the screenplay to “Barbie,” the title page read “Barbie and Ken” with the “and Ken” crossed out. It was the first sign that this particular script — co-written by the film’s director, Greta Gerwig, working with her life partner and frequent collaborator, Noah Baumbach — would be full of untamed wit. Interestingly enough, Ken learns a few lessons while interacting with humanity, specifically about patriarchy and horses. It doesn’t take long for Barbie’s beau to conclude that Barbieland could do with a bit of patriarchy.

Not just good looks, but also a comedic agility and a dramatic gravity that can be hard to find in a single performer. Diving into an explosive episode of 20th century history that launched the nuclear age, director Christopher Nolan unleashes the most ambitious film of his career. Barbie hit theaters less than a week ago and has already taken over the world, especially at the box office. The Mattel-branded film’s Monday, July 24 earnings helped it breeze past $400 million globally. As such, analysts and pundits posit Barbie will join the $1 billion club by the end of its theatrical run.

Since the movie's premiere, the idea of a mojo dojo casa house has spread across social media through memes. Some of the most popular memes show a house, room, or building from another show, movie, or media property and label it a mojo dojo casa house. The rooms and buildings shown are not exactly the nicest places, playing off the tackiness of Ken's bachelor pad in the movie. When Ken takes over the Dreamhouse, though, it largely loses its right to being called a "dream house" at all.

Gosling is reluctant to take credit for his performance of either song, in particular the way he belts out “I’m Just Ken” and its exhortation of “a life of blond fragility” with the conviction of a seasoned musical-theater performer. This is one Barbie-inspired meme that will get a lot of mileage in the weeks and months ahead. Another Twitter user (or X user) evoked the meme to poke fun at the website’s recent rebranding. “Returning to Barbieland to find the Dreamhouse has become the Mojo Dojo Casa House,” Lillian Crawford captioned a post featuring side-by-side pictures of the Twitter and X logos. Upon his return, then, Barbieland’s women-favoring power dynamic places the men in all positions of power, and Barbie’s Dreamhouse gets transformed into Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House.

The ultra-pink Barbie Dreamhouse is one of the most recognizable pieces of Barbie imagery and features prominently in the movie.

Barbie Is a Delight of Improbable Proportions

And given the number of people who’ve ventured through Barbieland on the big screen, it should come as no surprise that memes inspired by the movie are already making the rounds. Inspired from the film, Mattel has turned another one of Ken’s iconic looks from the movie into a real toy doll you can buy. Perhaps the most classic Ken doll costume of all is that of his beachwear! After all, apart from being Barbie's sidekick, he's famously known for his job of just "beach." Though come October 31, your job will just be "candy" or "party." No matter your plans, you'll succeed when you throw on Ken's striped matching short and shirt set.

Emma Stone would like to be called by her real name, if you don’t mind

One Twitter user even likened the rebranding of Twitter to X to the Barbie Dreamhouse transitioning into the mojo dojo casa house, receiving over 200,000 likes. Clearly, the movie's joke struck a chord with many, creating a powerful meme in the process. The Barbie movie has inspired a mountain of memes, from mugshot redraws to the phrase "I am Kenough" to an image of Ken on Barbie's shoulder. The latest Barbie meme to take off on social media is the Mojo Dojo Casa House, a reference to a scene in the movie where Ken rebrands the Barbie Dreamhouse.

Get ready to move over Barbie because Mattel is releasing yet another toy doll from the hit film Barbie. The much-memed, long-awaited feature from director Greta Gerwig is a delightful comic fantasy that promotes and deconstructs its own Mattel doll brand. Gosling’s Ken later denounces the patriarchy and learns from Barbie not to define himself by his possessions, his relationship or his job of just “beach.” He’s just Ken, and he’s Kenough. Ferrera, who co-stars in ‘Barbie’ as Gloria, a lifelong admirer of the doll, delivers a rousing speech about womanhood in the film.

After urgently spinning in symmetrical formations to full-on ‘80s synthpop, Gosling’s Ken is revealed anew. He again sings the chorus, but this time, he’s standing tall, staring directly into the camera with a knowing smile. He helps his fellow Kens up from the floor and giggles after they kiss him on the cheek in gratitude. He is no longer threatened by other men, or the expression of affection among them.

Get ready to wrangle up some fun this Halloween in this cowboy getup that Barbie and Ken grab from a California convenience store near the Mattel headquarters. Though Ken later proclaims,"When I found out the patriarchy wasn't about horses, I lost interest anyway," that fringe finery is so worth copying. Luckily, we found a costume shirt that looks just like the real one and even comes with a pink bandana. To top it all off, you'll just need black jeans, a big western belt, white cowboy hat, and white cowboy boots.

Why box office analysts predict another banner weekend for ‘Barbie,’ stronger legs for ‘Oppenheimer’

‘Barbie’s Dream House revamp is the movie’s hottest meme - The Daily Dot

‘Barbie’s Dream House revamp is the movie’s hottest meme.

Posted: Mon, 24 Jul 2023 07:00:00 GMT [source]

Tired of being sidelined in favor of the women in their lives, Barbie’s Kens (led by Ryan Gosling in a ridiculous mink coat) eventually quit their “beaching” and decide to assert their dominance, plastering Barbie Land with all of their tacky accouterments. Oversized electronics, workout equipment, dark colors… you know the vibe. The closest thing to Ken in Gosling’s previous filmography is his character in Crazy, Stupid, Love, a self-styled ladies’ man who takes Steve Carell’s hapless middle-aged dad under his wing. He’s just this side of irredeemable, but it becomes clear that he doesn’t get any more from the women he sleeps with than they get from him. He crows that “the war between the sexes is over, and we won,” but Gosling plays him like a loser, even if he is one who looks awfully good with his shirt off. The memes often include a pop culture reference or an image of an unappealing property seen in another movie or TV show.

The signature outfit in the movie was also topped off with three Tag Heuer gold watches — Ryan Gosling, who played Ken in the “Barbie” movie, has been a brand ambassador for the watch company since 2021. In 2007’s Lars and the Real Girl, he’s a pathologically withdrawn man who can’t stand the touch of a human hand. So instead of finding a nice girl, he buys one, a life-sized sex doll he names Bianca. Although she, unlike Barbie (or Ken, for that matter), is anatomically correct, Lars’ intentions are entirely courtly.

The Mojo Dojo is Ken's bachelor pad with hyper-masculine themes made to be the less tasteful "anti-dream house." When Stereotypical Barbie returns to Barbie Land from the real world, she discovers Ken has turned her dream house into the Mojo Dojo Casa House. In the film, Gosling’s Ken — Barbie’s anxiety-ridden, try-hard, beta-status boyfriend — is revitalized by the patriarchy of the real world and returns to indoctrinate everyone in Barbieland.
