Remember Mario Batali’s clunky apology for harassment that included a pizza dough cinnamon roll recipe? We found it hard to believe how inappropriate and off-key the whole thing was.
Welp, someone made the pizza dough cinnamon rolls. It’s beautifully angry. Everything about it — the sloppy, incomplete recipe, the bad combination of pizza dough and a pastry, the terrible result — is a bitter metaphor for the institutionalized sexism women have to deal with all the time. I thought the apology was bad, but now I’m sure the celebrity chef is bad, too.
Geraldine’s blog is a delight overall. Her experiences trying paleo cooking are laugh-out-loud funny, the entry about Soylent is similarly hilarious (but not to be read on a full stomach), and despite her self deprecation her travel blog is wonderful.

So delicious…
Ahhh, that was lovely.
Well, it would have been lovely if the background wasn’t so nasty.

It’s definitely lovely, even with the given background. It’s not lovely like a lovingly made recipe for your family. It’s lovely in the way a beautifully made church is lovely: with the knowledge of the centuries of hatefulness and abuse, there is still beauty at the core.
