What Is Chuseok? A Guide to Korean Thanksgiving

by

Chuseok is basically Korean Thanksgiving. It tends to fall sometime in late September or early October. But here in America, many Koreans actually celebrate it around American Thanksgiving. In Korea, families travel to see each other (just like American Thanksgiving!) and honor their ancestors. But really, both holidays are all about FOOD. If you are Korean, you like food. Lots and lots and lots of food. When Is Chuseok? Chuseok is a three-day Korean harvest festival celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. 2026: Chuseok will fall on Friday, September 25, with the holiday period from September … Read more

The Bon Appétit, Your Majesty Episode 4 recap. Ji-Young has to compete in the most gruesome cooking contest of her life, where the stakes are her life (and/or both arms), all the while with three Gordon Ramseys up on the platform yelling down at her. Of course, she wins the contest. No one else in the entire palace can figure out the mother of the Dowager's signature doenjang soup. To boot, Ji-Young saves both of the other chefs. It's a good thing the tyrant King is in love with her because it would have been off with all three heads if this was real life.

In Episode 4 of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, Ji-Young faces a royal cooking contest where failure means losing her arms. She experiments with tofu, doenjang, and spinach to create a soup that moves even the Dowager to tears. Episode 4 shows her courage and the King’s conflicting emotions as food becomes both his weapon and his love language.

This Korean cucumber salad kimchi recipe is a quick, easy, and crunchy banchan. I basically just blanch fresh pickling cucumbers for a quick moment, let the cucumbers drain in a colander, and then throw them all together. It's one of the traditional Korean side dishes, with a bit of heat. I love adding these to my Korean table, but I also like adding them to regular salad for some zip.

Korean Cucumber Salad Kimchi Recipe (Oi Muchim Banchan 오이 무침)

by

This Korean cucumber salad kimchi is one of my favorite quick banchan to make. It’s crisp, spicy, and refreshing, with just enough salt and vinegar to brighten any meal. I love it because it comes together in minutes, without the long wait or mess of traditional cabbage kimchi. It’s great alongside bulgogi, spicy pork, or just plain rice when you want something with a little kick.

Here is my Bon Appétit, Your Majesty Episode 3 recap. This episode ramps up some inner court politics, in particular how jelly Consort Kang is. The King tortures Ji-Young, mostly because he can. Cuz he's the King. We're supposed to be falling for him, but you can tell he's not a nice dude. I'm interested in seeing how Ji-Young changes him ... and changes history.

Episode 3 of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty dives deeper into palace politics and jealousy. The King’s cruelty sharpens as he toys with Ji-Young, testing her spirit while punishing her for daring to speak her mind. Consort Kang seethes with envy, convinced her position is threatened by the mysterious gwinyeo who saved the King’s life. Meanwhile, Ji-Young and Gil-Geum are thrown into the royal kitchen, forced to navigate the vicious rivalries of cooks and concubines alike.

Here is one of my two favorite banchans, a spinach namul recipe. (My other favorite is mung bean sprouts.) This Korean side dish (sigeumchi namul) is tender, garlicky, and lightly seasoned with sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey. It's also very easy to make. I could seriously just eat these two banchans with every single meal, Korean or American included. It also makes a very tasty addition to any kind of salad.

Korean Side Dish Spinach Namul Recipe (시금치나물 Banchan)

by

Spinach namul, or sigeumchi namul, is a simple Korean side dish made with lightly steamed spinach seasoned with sesame oil, garlic, rice vinegar, and a touch of honey. The spinach is quickly cooled in cold water to keep its bright color and tender texture. It’s often served with rice, bibimbap, or grilled meat, and it stores well in the refrigerator for a few days. Quick to prepare and easy to store, it’s a versatile side that complements rice, soup, or grilled food.

They eventually get thrown to making an elaborate meal for some guests, but everyone makes the same soup. Ji-Young takes over, negotiating their freedom if she can impress the guests. Her plan? A tough hunk of farm bull and a little twenty-first-century cooking science.

I had so much fun recreating this Gochujang Butter Bibimbap Recipe, from the hit Netflix k-drama Bon Appétit, Your Majesty. I'm only about 50% on the actual show, but I totally loved the cooking. It's an interesting thing to see a Michelin-level star chef (I know it's make believe, and Yoona is not actually a chef) use her advanced knowledge for the good of the King's stomach.

Gochujang butter bibimbap combines the warmth of Korean comfort food with the richness of browned butter. Cooked white rice forms the base, topped with quick-pickled daikon radish, stir-fried carrots, steamed spinach, and dry-sautéed mushrooms. The centerpiece is a smooth gochujang butter sauce, made by whisking Korean chili paste into nutty brown butter until it turns glossy and fragrant. A softly poached egg rests on top

Instead of execution, he shocks everyone by naming her chief royal chef. We then flashback to what happened, as she was transported from present day to Joseon. After many funny spar matches between the two, Ji-Young proves herself as a Michelin-star chef. She cooks barley rice with gochujang butter and poached egg for the wounded king. He calls it too spicy, yet keeps eating.

Like most pajeons (pancakes), this Korean sweet pumpkin pajeon recipe is not sweet (despite the name). That's because you cannot really taste the pumpkin in it. But Koreans like to use whatever is on hand to create food, if the different banchans can be a testament to that.

John Grisham's class legal thriller was made into a TV series. I'm breaking down The Rainmaker Season 1 Episode 1 recap.

Here's where the rubber meets the road. I'll explain in this Ballard Season 1 Episode 10 recap all the good, the bad, and the ugly from the season. The mechanics of this episode are superficial. I guess AI has taken over in the writers' room. Lots of plot holes, a flashy but predictable ending, Ballard yet again getting herself in trouble, and sprinklings of Harry Bosch to satisfy the fans because they obviously know this show isn't doing too well without him. 2.5 out of 5 stars for this episode, 2.5 out of 5 stars for the season.

Ballard Season 1 Episode 10 Recap & Review [The Finale Is Okay]

by

The season closes with Gary Pearlman’s confession and Ballard smashing his hand with Rawls’s kettlebell. The motive is spelled out: misogyny, control, punishing women for living on their own terms. Sarah wasn”t his daughter, so she became his target. Rawls’s funeral and and Ballard’s endless concussions pile on until the last blow: she is arrested for Olivas’s murder. And yet again, Ballard goes down a system that would rather bury her than back her.

I got the deets here in my Ballard Season 1 Episode 9 recap. This episode was the best of the season, particularly because of the major twist. Like, I didn't even expect it. I pretty much guessed who the killer was long before this episode ... I'll tell you in the Ending Explained section, below ... but how it went down was sad. 4 out of 5 stars for this episode.

Ballard Season 1 Episode 9 Recap & Review [Almost Good]

by

Episode 9 finally lands a gut punch. Naomi Bennett returns as the lone survivor, and her broken memory unlocks the truth: Gary Pearlman is the killer. The irony. This is the same family that fought Ballard every step, and it was the harboring the monster behind it all. Rawls’s death twists the knife. His arc from Pearlman’s lapdog to an actual ally gave him depth, and then he gets dropped by a bullet. The win feels hollow.

Here's The Rainmaker Season 1 Episode 3 recap for all the deets, including this totally wacko plotline. I'm hoping that the show producers planned on giving Rainmaker, aka Rudy Baylor, a brand new case for season 2. Because I'm not really sure this TV show is gonna make it. Also, I just have to say how much I dislike Sarah. The entirety of the drama surrounding the two of them is so far fetched and forced. And other than some off the rails killing for gratuity's sake, we don't really have much of a drama, legal or otherwise.

The Ballard Season 1 Episode 8 recap. The episode begins with Olivas, the night of Driscoll's attack on Ballard, and it ends with his long-awaited, very satisfying arrest. I was quite pleased to see that smug S.O.B. being taken down, even if I was totally expective that he would be. This episode is the best we've had so far, although it's still been quite vanilla with a bunch of gimmicky thrown in. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Ballard Season 1 Episode 8 Recap & Review [Better Still]

by

Olivas finally goes down, and it is the first time this season I felt an ending land. He plays family man at the ice cream shop, but Ballard and Bosch are across the street waiting to knock him off his pedestal. Martina risks herself, and Manny Santos flips. Santos’s confession seals it for Olivas. The arrest isn”t surprising, but watching that smug face drop was worth it. The lipstick clue keeps the Pearlman case alive.

My Ballard Season 1 Episode 7 recap. Harry Bosch makes his way back into the scene, taking a pivotal role as Ballard steals some of the evidence, then Harry dumps it onto what will be an active crime scene. Unfortunately, this also opens up another loose end that the writers did not address, so I'm beginning to suspect they are all amateurs. But the show has taken its roots and growing stronger each episode. I am looking up. 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Ballard Season 1 Episode 7 Recap & Review [Even A Little Bit Better]

by

Ballard wakes up stitched and stubborn. She holes up at the Sand Dollar with a loaded bedside gun. Bosch appears like gravity. The Lee family cold case hits hard. Jun spirals. She talks him down and knocks the gun away, even as Nathan Kim reaches for it. And then the phone stunt works, for now, but the number it exposes makes her see red.

Here's the Ballard Season 1 Episode 6 recap. Ballard and the team are under a 72 hour clock, otherwise the Chief will take the Pearlman et al cases and transfer to homicide. We all know they aren't gonna make that timeline, to set us up for how the "all hope is lost" beat. But, you know, they still have this cartel/cop thing they need to deal with. And deal with it she does.

Ballard Season 1 Episode 6 Recap & Review [Better]

by

Episode 6 finally swings hard. The deadline is a setup, homicide circling like vultures. Ballard digs through souvenirs that lead nowhere, then the lab flips the table. Mike Garrison is a victim, not the killer. Parker is done hiding and confronts Olivas for rape and gaslighting. Abril gives the case a heartbeat. Driscoll makes it to Ballard’s house and tries to finish her. She turns the blade and breathes. The case is alive now. So is she.

It's taken 5 episodes to get there, but I'm happy to report in this Ballard Season 1 Episode 5 recap & review that the show has improved. It's still not the best show ... not Bosch level good ... but it has finally started getting there. If it continues to improve like this, I think I might finally recommend it by the season's end. Hopeful fingers crossed, because I love Maggie Q and want this to be a slam dunk win for her.

Ballard Season 1 Episode 5 Recap & Review [Okay]

by

Episode 5 finally moves. Ballard opens a storage unit tied to Mike Garrison and finds rows of boxes that feel like a graveyard. We also have Tony Montana circling like a shark. But his buddy Santos grows uneasy. Parker’s confession lands hard, not for pity, but because it explains her armor. For the first time, I believe this show might actually pull it off.

Here's my Ballard Season 1 Episode 4 recap & review. We've gone from blah back to meh. The police department politics, although I think are probably fairly accurate, is quite cumbersome and slow to get to the uptake. The effect is that it weighs the entire story down to the point that it's insufferable. Added to that, but they keep piling it on Ballard. They also quickly go through several different investigations, jumping around illogically, so you have to really pay attention to figure out what in the world they are working on. It's kind of a drag. 2 out of 5 stars.

Ballard Season 1 Episode 4 Recap & Review [Back to Meh]

by

Episode 4 wants to balance cartel conspiracies with Ballard’s personal demons, but the scale tips too far into Hell. Martina and Hatteras push Yulia’s story forward. That should be enough to carry the episode, but instead we get bogged down with Ken’s death, Ballard’s grief, Olivas lurking, and Parker’s simmering baggage. The recycled gun finally gives the show teeth, but the Tony Montana reveal feels silly, even as it cements the dirty cop pipeline.

We continue with Ballard Season 1 Episode 3 recap & review, which continues the meh and enters the blah. As if her LAPD politics aren't enough, she also has additional trauma about her dad dying. The writers pack it on way too thick, I think, and it's crushing even me. 1 out of 5 stars.

Ballard Season 1 Episode 3 Recap & Review [Blah]

by

Episode 3 drags us into frat house rot. Nick Thatcher’s fall wasn”t just a drunken stumble, it was wrapped in a culture of exploitation written down in disgusting detail. Meredith’s confession lands hard, which proves that sometimes solving cases isn’t the same as finding justice. Meanwhile, the dirty cop shifts his attention to Martina. And we all start to have an appreciation for Laffont, the steady eddie of the cold case unit.

I love to bake, but tbh, sometimes it requires so much work. This is why I love this pumpkin cream cheese dessert ... it's texture is very much like a pudding or a custard.

This is my best Korean retinol tea recipe. I love it as a hot tea, but it really shines if you put it in the fridge ... tea bags, barley, ginger, and honey in the container, basically to let it seep. I like to drink a cup of coffee in the morning, but then I sip this tea all day long. (I usually cut it off around 2:00 though because green tea does have caffeine in it.) It's simple to make, and if you don't want to make a fresh brew everyday, just throw it in the fridge, and heat a cup in the microwave!

Tea in Korean is 차 (cha), and it is part of daily life. My best Korean retinol tea recipe blends green tea, roasted barley, ginger, apple cinnamon, and honey into a drink that is simple, refreshing, and skin friendly. Some people call it “Meryl Streep Korean tea,” but that was just shade interesting marketing right there. The real tea is worth making at home, whether you drink it hot or chilled straight from the fridge.

My Ballard Season 1 Episode 2 recap and review. Honestly, I thought Ballard was going to be a little punchier because of the first episode's intro scene, a nifty chase scene with a shotgun. But it's turning out to be slow. Really slow. Without the chemistry that the other Bosch shows had between the characters. I consider this episode to be mainly filler. 

Ballard Season 1 Episode 2 Recap & Review [Still Meh]

by

Ballard is circling suspects, but the episode feels like a slow shuffle compared to her shotgun debut. She takes harassment in stride, and plays politics with Pearlman while Parker chases down Frosty. The lifeguard shows up naked in front of Tutu, which is honestly more entertaining than half the case work. The real jolt comes at the end when the mysterious truck tailing Ballard is revealed to be driven by LAPD.

Can You Trademark a Phrase and Keep Others From Using It?

by

So can you trademark a phrase? Hell yes, you can. But why would you? Not every catchy line you scribble on a napkin qualifies for legal protection. If your phrase is distinctive, and you use it in commerce to identify your goods or services, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will let you protect it just like a logo or business name. But there’s more to it than that. Let’s cut through the legal noise and break down what actually works.

The difference between attorney and lawyer is one of those things everyone thinks they know until someone actually asks. Spoiler: the two terms are different. The TL;DR? An attorney is someone who passed a bar exam and has a professional license, while a lawyer is someone who graduated from law school and has a Juris Doctor (J.D.).

Struggle meals are foods that stretch ingredients as far as possible. They are cheap, filling, and built out of whatever is available. The phrase is new, but the idea is not.

You'll most likely will find a ton of versions of this budae jjigae recipe. It's known as Army base stew, and it has its origins from when food was scarce. Seriously, this is like the original struggle meal. I like the baked beans, not only because it gives it an authentic hint, but also it adds a bit of sweetness to pair with the saltiness of the spam and the tartness of the kimchi. But you can literally throw whatever you have on hand. Including whatever ramen noodles you have ... even those instant ramens you get in the Styrofoam cups.

I tried to keep it as close to the original as possible, but you can substitute almost anything. Don’t like one of the ingredients? Get rid of it! Love chili beans and not baked beans? Swap it out! Don’t think a Korean recipe shouldn’t have some kimchi in it? Add some! This recipe creates a beautiful base (pardon the pun) for all your Army Base budae jjigae cravings.

I started experimenting for the best essential oils for sugar scrub after I first encountered some in the women's bathroom. Some nice lady had made it and left it out for everyone to enjoy. Unlike most strong scents (aka the Body Shop's yucky stuff), this didn't make me break out or give me a migraine. I learned afterward about the wonderfulness of essential oils. They are natural, so less of a problem for those sensitive skinned and nose sensitive souls like myself.

I think plums are an underappreciated fruit, and when they come on sale, I love to make this blue plum crumble dessert recipe.

Blue plums can be eaten raw, but the fruit is quite tart (and sometimes bitter).

Goliath Season 4 Episode 8 Recap & Review

The finale hits hard. Billy’s haunted by Denise’s parting shot, “you’re dead to me.” And Brittney’s done with him too. Everyone he’s ever cared about has walked away, and maybe that’s fair. But there’s still a trial to finish, and Billy’s not going quietly. The jury hits Zax with a fourteen-billion-dollar verdict. Fourteen billion. Sounds like justice, but Billy knows it’s just a number. Sam’s career is toast. George promises revenge. Patty gives Billy a half-assed hug that says everything about their friendship. And then she walks away from him too.

Goliath Season 4 Episode 6 Recap & Review

by

The title of this episode fits. Frank visits Kate in the psych ward where George dumped her, because when you’re rich enough, you can literally imprison your problems. Billy and Patty plot from the sidelines, deciding to put Frank on the stand. It’s bold and stupid in equal measure. Predictably, it backfires when the defense tears Frank apart for being “crazy.” George sits in court smirking like the devil, proving that evil doesn’t need charisma, just power.

Goliath Season 4 Episode 5 Recap & Review

by

This one kicks off with some deranged cartoon about opioids, because subtlety’s dead. Billy, finally realizing he can’t fight the beast alone, teams up with Don Cooperman. Yes, that Don Cooperman.

George is a monster. Frank’s his broken mirror. The company’s rotting from the inside.

Goliath Season 4 Episode 3 Recap & Review

by

Sam and Rob’s engagement party is the kind of rich-people nightmare where everyone’s pretending to like each other. Patty and Billy settle one piece of the case for six hundred million, but Billy knows it’s too easy. You don’t hand over that much money unless you’re hiding something worse. Patty gets her big promotion to equity partner, and you can practically see her soul leaving her body. Billy realizes he’s trapped in a story he started and never finished. It’s less about justice and more about self-loathing now.

Goliath Season 4 Episode 2 Recap & Review

by

We kick off with a literal musical number starring George Zax, the pharma prick behind the pills. It’s so on-the-nose it’s almost funny. Patty’s pissed because Billy keeps freelancing when he should be kissing ass at the firm. She’s gone full corporate shark, snapping at anyone who breathes wrong, but you almost get it. She’s survived this long by fighting everything. By the time the credits roll, we know everyone’s lying to everyone else. Sam’s feeding Zax insider info, and George is plotting stock scams. Billy’s the only one who still gives a damn, and even that’s debatable.

Goliath Season 4 Episode 1 Recap & Review

by

Billy McBride is somehow still alive after last season’s bullet to the gut, and frankly, it’s a miracle he’s vertical. Patty has clawed her way up into some fancy-ass San Francisco firm with a case that’s supposed to take down the opioid industry. She drags Billy along because apparently she thinks he still gives a shit. He doesn’t. He’s limping through life, half haunted, fully drunk, with these ridiculous Wild West dream sequences that look like someone took too much acid.

Goliath Season 3 Episode 3 Recap & Review

by

Patty kicks off the episode by saying the one thing we’ve all wanted to say about the Blackwoods. Live, on the air, and straight from the gut. Billy’s stuck at the casino trying to get an NDA while Patty’s out chasing plaintiffs. Diana’s creeping around town like she owns everyone’s soul (she probably does, since she has all the water), and somehow she already knows Patty is pregnant. I’d call it intuition, but it feels more like witchcraft.

So we’re onto Goliath Season 3 Episode 2. The weird just keeps getting weirder. Billy’s stuck in Diana’s wellness nightmare. Wade’s bathing in almond milk like that’s a normal thing, when other people can't even get any fucking drinking water. The people here turn greed into performance art while Billy keeps doing what he does best: walking straight into trouble with his eyes open.

Goliath Season 3 Episode 2 Recap & Review

Billy wakes up in the Blackwood Enrichment Center, which looks like a wellness cult. Except Diana has turned almonds into a religion. Anton drives him around in an almond-shaped cart and casually mentions Denise. This is not good. Marisol walks in with Matthew, and Billy watches from the corner.

Here's my Goliath Season 3 episode 1 recap. The season opens with a literal hole in the ground. Gene wants to sue the water barons who turned the valley into Swiss cheese. Water is like contraband, and no one can leave. But it isn't really about the water. It’s about control. The people who hoard it, the ones who lose it, and the ones who think they can buy redemption with a dam.

Goliath Season 3 Episode 1 Recap & Review

Billy’s finds a message scrawled behind the mirror: “The last person you will see before you die is you. Wade Blackwood is the local kingpin, charming as poison. There’s talk of subsidence, but it’s greed and politics that keep the ground sinking. When Billy gets that ceramic owl from Bobbi’s workshop, we already know it’s a ghost’s gift.

This is my Goliath Season 2 Episode 8 recap for the season end. Billy finally pieces it together. Marisol lured him to Mexico to get him out of the way, and now she’s standing onstage celebrating her new title as mayor. The same people who kidnapped him are standing behind her in suits. The Broker’s on the phone making silent moves. Billy realizes that everything he thought he understood is gone.

In this episode, everyone’s crossing lines they can’t uncross. Tom and Brittany’s twisted sex game goes off the rails fast. She wants out, but Tom’s too deep into his own sick fantasies. Meanwhile, Denise spirals at home, drinking and replaying Marisol’s victory speech like punishment. Patty and Brittany try to patch things up, but Patty’s relationship with Jeff crashes when he discovers she stole Keith Roman’s burner phone. And then there is Billy. He’s just Billy, but at least he gets some closure by talking to Marisol.

The Goliath Season 2 Episode 7 recap. Billy wakes up in a strange house somewhere in Mexico, no clue how he got there. Some woman named Janet is next to him, chatty and clueless. Around them are gun-holding thugs waiting for “the word.” The cinematography keeps fading in and out like someone’s testing your patience. Billy wants tea, of course to throw it in someone's face. Let's see if he pulls it off.

The violence ratchets up fast. Elena loses her nose to Hook Man … quite literally … and Loomis loses his ear. Both scenes are stomach-turning. Patty and Denise finally locate Billy, hidden under a truck bed, half-dead but alive. JT pays a smuggler to haul him out of Mexico. As they drive off, you can feel the shift. The season’s wrapping up its loose ends with a lot of blood and no apologies. Although it really should. I can’t get this hour of my life back.

Read up on my Goliath Season 2 Episode 6 recap. In Mexico, Billy thinks he’s on vacation. Marisol wants to show him her past, but it's soaked in blood. Gabriel smiles while his men murder Julio in prison. Roman dies trying to protect his family. Patty and JT scramble to find help.

This episode cuts deep. Billy’s in Mexico, lost in Marisol’s charm, while everything at home crashes and burns: Roman’s body is found, and Julio is executed in his cell. Patty keeps calling … screaming into a phone that Billy doesn’t answer. And we finally get some disgusting details that made me legit want to throw up in my mouth.

My Goliath Season 2 Episode 5 recap. Gabriel’s opening story turns out to be about Marisol, and it sets the tone. Billy’s working angles to free Julio, Roman’s ready to talk, and the system’s closing ranks. Patty’s meeting with Jeff is part romance, part power play. Tom’s obsession with Brittany gets darker.

Billy’s risky suppression play rattles everyone. Roman sweats through testimony about the gun. Gabriel gives Tom a new assignment: kill Julio.

The Goliath Season 2 Episode 3 recap. Billy brings his lead to court and convinces the judge to pull in Tito Garcia. Within hours, the shooter’s arrested, deported, and allegedly “lost” by the FBI. We also have Patty’s attack and a cop totally unraveling. Surprise of all surprises, the murder weapon turns up right when the cops need it most.

Goliath Season 2 Episode 3 Recap & Review

by

Everything goes sideways fast. Billy’s witness disappears into government custody, Patty’s assaulted, and the cops conveniently “find” the murder weapon. Marisol pretends to be helpful. You know this woman is up to no good. I mean Billy is the man, but still. The episode has cops, politicians, and the FBI all playing their parts while Billy tries to hold the line with nothing but instinct and whiskey.

My Goliath Season 2 Episode 3 recap. Billy takes Julio’s case out of guilt and stubborn loyalty. Patty joins only after making Billy promise to keep Brittany away. The prosecution waves new “evidence,” a security video showing Julio with a gun. But Billy knows how unreliable that is. Meanwhile, Roman pays off the real shooter, and everyone scrambles to find the missing weapon. Marisol keeps up her saint act while plotting in the background.

Meanwhile, Marisol Silva enters the picture, running for mayor and tied to Julio. By the end, Oscar’s shot in the street. Welcome to season two.

Goliath Season 2 Episode 1 Recap & Review

by

The season opens with Billy at rock bottom emotionally but rich as shit from the winnings of last season. Chez Jay is still his watering hole, and Brittany tries to make peace after betraying him. Oscar Suarez asks for help when his teenage son Julio is accused of killing two people. Billy says he doesn’t touch murder cases but can’t quite walk away, because this is his buddy (and bartender). The deeper he looks, the dirtier it gets. By the end, Oscar’s dead, and Billy’s pulled into another nightmare.

Book Review of The Final Case by David Guterson

by

Here is my review of Book Review of The Final Case by David Guterson. The book is about an octogenarian named Royal, who must get driving assistance from his son to help with the trial of Betsy Harvey, who, along with her husband Delvin, were accused of the abuse, torture, and murder of their adopted daughter, Abigail (Abebe). I give this book 2 out of 5 stars. This book, although it contains courtroom scenes, is not a legal fiction. Rather, this book is written in a style of memoir, stream-of-consciousness, and meandering. It has about zero drama or information. When … Read more

The finale gives us chaos from the start. Brittany betrays Billy. Donald’s courtroom appearance ends in a medical emergency. Billy’s closing statement lands better than Callie’s, but it’s the jury that seals the story. One dollar for pain and suffering, a hundred grand for damages, and a massive $162 million for fraud. Billy wins the case, exposes the corruption, and hands it all to the FBI.

All the deets in the Goliath Season 1 Episode 7 recap. Billy and Patty finally face off in court, but Patty’s opening lands flat. Callie plays dirty with Lucy’s backstory, using it to prop up her defense. Meanwhile, Donald and Wendell explode even bigger than the one that started this entire trial. Wendell exposes Donald on the stand, waiving privilege and dragging everyone down with him. By the end, Callie’s sitting on a single witness, and it’s the last person Billy ever expected: Brittany Gold.

Goliath Season 1 Episode 7 Recap & Review

by

Every alliance falls apart this episode. Lucy gets canned, Michelle bails on Callie, Wendell torches Donald in open court. Billy pushes straight to trial while Patty flounders through her opening. The fisherman’s credibility sinks, and Ned’s testimony only adds fuel to that bomb. By the time Callie shows up with her final witness list, it’s down to one name that breaks Billy’s alliance. Brittany Gold.

My Goliath Season 1 Episode 6 recap. Billy brings the recovered model from the time capsule straight to the judge. He explains that their evidence has been compromised and that someone broke into their storage unit. The judge takes the warning seriously but makes no promises.

The episode opens with a surreal dream of Donald Cooperman staring into a mirror, his burn scars gone. In the vision, Billy flicks a cigarette, and Donald bursts into flames. It sets the tone for a story about power and destruction. Back in reality, Brittany shows Billy the revenge porn tape, proof that Borns Tech’s witness is morally compromised. Later, during Gina Larson’s deposition, Billy pushes too hard and gets roughed up. Kelly threatens contempt, confusing it with sanctions, which is legally sloppy.

The Goliath Season 1 Episode 5 recap! Callie and Donald argue over control of the depositions. Donald wants Lucy to take the lead, a decision that makes everyone uncomfortable. During the questioning, Lucy lashes out at Billy, trying to rattle him. Billy fires back with a smirk, pushing her off script.

Back in Billy’s world, the Creeper tries to plant drugs to set him up.

Leonard finally shows Callie classified data proving they were testing a weapon system without Pentagon approval. The visit rattles everyone involved.

Goliath Season 1 Episode 2 opens with Billy fresh out of jail and already losing ground. The lawsuit’s tossed, and worse, his car’s trashed. Cooperman ups the jackassery to put some screws to Billy. Patty’s shouting about malpractice. It’s a mess of ego and legal chaos that somehow lands right back in his lap.

The Goliath Season 1 Episode 1 recap. In the show premier, we meet down-and-out lawyer Billy. Patty hands him a case, and Billy thinks it has good bones.

The pilot of Goliath wastes no time throwing Billy into disaster. The wrongful death suit is dead on arrival, and half the cast is either caustic, high, corrupt, or both. Somewhere between the courtroom and the beach, Billy remembers why he quit law, and also why he cannot walk away. Dark humor and broken people make this one strangely addictive.

This year, I decided to compile a big old list of homemade Father's Day gift ideas. My criteria: the gift cannot suck. I'm in a panic because Father's Day is just around the corner. Like every year, I have no idea what to give The Husband for Dad's Day. What's worse, his birthday is just a couple of weeks beforehand ... so I can't reuse gift ideas. Of course, if your Dad is anything like The Husband, he will appreciate just about anything that shows some effort. So while store-bought gifts are always appreciated, there's something special about a handmade gift that shows just how much you care.

Can I lose custody for dating a felon? I'm not judging you at all. But you know, there are a lot of fish in the sea.  However, the short answer is: possibly, depending on the circumstances. When a parent begins a relationship with someone who has a felony conviction, family courts may view that relationship as a potential risk to the child’s safety and stability. If the other parent raises the issue in court, the judge can consider the felon’s record as a factor in modifying custody. That means dating a felon could complicate custody arrangements, or in some cases, even result in losing custody altogether.

Coconut oil has many practical uses for the body, from skincare to haircare and beyond. I usually buy a refined, organic version (Nature’s Promise) at the grocery store since I do not like the strong coconut smell of the unrefined type. Both refined and unrefined coconut oil are available, and I prefer the organic, cold-pressed option when possible. One jar lasts me for months, though I do not use it for cooking. (I usually cook with sesame seed and olive oils.)

The uses for coconut oil go way beyond cooking. This stuff handles everything from skincare to household cleaning, and one jar lasts me months. I buy refined, organic coconut oil at the grocery store because I hate the strong coconut smell of unrefined versions. But it’s super cheap on Amazon. You can grab either type, but refined works better if you want something neutral.

I didn’t want to throw them out, so I decided to see if I could make a nice gift for the holidays.
