Mustard & Herb Crusted Lamb w/ Pomegranate Glaze

I was watching Gordon Ramsey’s show like a year ago and he made what looked like a really badass rack of lamb. As many times as I’ve made lamb myself, I have to say I’d been paying it safe flavor-wise. I usually season them with salt & pepper, sear or broil them in a pan with fresh garlic and rosemary–that’s about it. go here

Can We Please Just Let Cardi B Live?

At Sunday night’s Grammys, Cardi B became the first solo woman to win Best Rap Album for her double-platinum, critically beloved debut, Invasion of Privacy, notably beating Travis Scott, Pusha T, Nipsey Hussle, and the late Mac Miller. For this honor, Cardi says she was repaid with a deluge of bullying comments online about how much she didn’t deserve it, leading her to delete her Instagram on Monday night.

“I been taking a lot of s*** today, I’m seeing a lot of bulls*** today and I saw a lot of s**** last night,” Cardi said in a characteristically expletive-filled video posted before she deactivated her account. “And I’m sick of this s***. I worked hard for my motherf****** album,” which, she reminded everyone, she recorded while pregnant with her daughter, Kulture.

How ADIDAS Runners Built A Tribe

Today, I would like to talk about Adidas but don't seem to have the energy. Anyway, it's concerning a product I purchased while at the local mall it was during the soccer world cup and I happen to step into a store. What happened is they didn't have the exact product I wanted so I decided to obtain a t-shirt with the German soccer team label, I asked if they had any others in stock with the size I wanted and the store associate explained to me that they didn't have it or it was sold out. So I got the t-shirt instead which is what I thought to be the right option turns out the size was XL and I searched everywhere for size XXL despite the fact that the German soccer team lost the world cup, how come they don't have the things you look for? this must be some kind of mistake. They even go on to lie about them selling defunct products to people who simply want to look stylish in their merchandise. How could Adidas or the store where I got the shirt promo stuff when they know they fall short on meeting customer expectations? after watching how they create and offer their products I thought it would be cool to try and obtain just a shirt to start things but now that I cannot fit into this shirt I want to complain until they do something about having the size you want ready and waiting at the store for customers to purchase. This isn't the best place to complain about Adidas but I need them to do a better job especially when it comes to products like t-shirts inside the store, they need to have the right size because it's not east wearing stuff which you know wasn't sold the right way. Why use the size guide it's an XL t-shirt which they tried promoting but the store was only offering the Mexican soccer team shirts in addition to the German soccer team the store simply didn't have a size which fit my liking I want, a shirt that fits size and XXL. Finally, I attempted to call Adidas customer service but was turned down I didn't get a firm response, the upcoming World cup will be played in 2022 where? Qatar.
