Was anyone else stopped in their tracks by "marry me shrimp," or just me? Apparently it's a recipe featuring cream and sundried tomatoes. But now I'm imagining someone proposing to their beloved in a Red Lobster by wrapping an engagement ring around a shrimp.

Really excited that this was your entry point into the Marry Me Culinary Universe, Sue.

My husband loves anything with sun dried tomatoes in it, so I may need to whip up a vegetarian version!

I'll bet it's a take on Marry Me Chicken. (It's so good, he'll ask you to marry him!) But, yeah, I can see the whole proposal thing ...

Been looking forward to this essay since your teaser yesterday, and this did not disappoint! Very well said.

"Loneliness epidemic: what brands can do to help" sent chills down my spine.

Garrett, that note at the end about supporting other newsletter writers is so indicative of your consistent generosity!

I'll add that one thing that seems to help (from what I've been told) is also, if you're a newsletter writer here yourself, recommendations. It takes time and effort to write up personal recommendations of other newsletters, but not that much time, and costs no money. And then whatever newsletters you're recommending just cycle through on your home page.

You're doing such good work in so many ways, Garrett. Thank you.

No thank you for trying to ruin the song Atlantic City, but thank you for the video, which I had somehow never seen!

What a great video, about such a strange town. I passed through it 2 years ago for the first time in over 20 years--not a Trump sign or sticker anywhere in sight. That town knows what it means to be chewed up and spit out by him--if only the rest of the country would have listened to that cautionary tale.
