From The #Sisters This Week:
Support The ERA:
Flood President Biden’s office and that of Jennifer Klein, head of the White House Gender Policy Council, with emails, letters, and phone calls. Or Click here to send a note: LINK: White House.
Contact your Congressional Representatives and U.S. Senators and ask them to take action to persuade President Biden to do this or to make sure that Congress passes a resolution like the ones Representatives Speier and Maloney sponsored in the last Congress or the one Senator Cardin is now sponsoring.
Write letters to the editor or opinion pieces - and share them. You can also share this piece and the posts of ERA advocates on social media. LINKS
Join groups actively advocating for the ERA - such as Vote Equality, the ERA Coalition, NOW, AAUW, Zonta, and the League of Women Voters.
Ask your State legislatures to pass resolutions like the one in the Illinois General Assembly filed by State Rep Jennifer Gong-Gershowitz. It affirms the ERA and asks the various branches of the national government to take action to do the same.
Jill’s Cauliflower Soup Recipe:
EASY CAULIFLOWER SOUP
INGREDIENTS
1 head cauliflower, about 2 lbs.
Salt
Pepper
Unsalted butter (optional, recommended) - you can sub olive oil or a high quality vegan butter like Earth Balance, if you like
OPTIONAL TOPPING IDEAS:
Drizzle of olive oil or sesame oil, crumbled blue cheese, parmesan, za'atar
YOU WILL ALSO NEED:
Medium saucepan, blender
Total Time: 10 Minutes
Servings: 4 servings
Kosher Key: Pareve or Dairy
Remove the leaves and tough core from the cauliflower. Chop into small florets and carefully clean them.
In a medium saucepan, bring 1 quart (4 cups) of water to a boil. Stir in 2 tsp of salt till dissolved. Pour in the cauliflower florets. Bring the water back to a boil and cover. Let the cauliflower cook for about 5 minutes till very soft and tender.
Remove the florets from their cooking water using a slotted spoon; reserve the salted cooking water.
Place the cooked cauliflower into a blender, filling it halfway. Carefully pour in cooking water, adding till it reaches about halfway up the cooked cauliflower.
Cover the blender carefully and blend, scraping the sides as needed, until the soup becomes a smooth puree. You may need to add more cooking water to achieve a soup-like texture. The longer you blend, the more silky and smooth the soup becomes. Add salt, pepper, and butter to taste. I use about 1 tbsp butter (or I’ve used up to 2 Tbsp) for a whole head of cauliflower (1/2 tbsp per batch). Salt is your friend here, if the soup is tasting bland don't be afraid to add more. You can also add some good quality olive oil or Earth Balance instead of butter if you'd like a richer flavor without dairy. Also add ground fennel.
Repeat process with the remaining batch of cauliflower. Serve soup hot. Leftovers will keep for 1-2 days in a covered tupperware container; soup will need to be stirred after reheating.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Hashtag Sisters in Law with Kimberly Atkins' store, Joe Weinbanks, |
| 0:16.0 | Barb McQuade, and me Joyce Vance. |
| 0:18.9 | Today we'll be discussing the announcement by New Mexico prosecutors that they'll charge |
| 0:23.2 | actor Alec Baldwin and others with involuntary manslaughter charges in connection with a shooting |
| 0:29.0 | death that occurred on the set of the movie Rust. |
| 0:32.4 | The Supreme Court's announcement that it's unable to determine who leaked the opinion |
| 0:36.7 | in the abortion case, Dobbs, before it was final. |
| 0:40.0 | We'll also discuss the latest on a lawsuit filed by Tesla shareholders against Elon Musk, |
| 0:46.6 | and as always we look forward to answering your questions at the end of the show. |
| 0:51.2 | Today I actually wanted to start us off with a conversation based on a question that |
| 0:56.7 | one of our listeners sent in, and the question was, after you do wordle, do you do the B? |
| 1:05.7 | And for those of you who have no idea what I've just said, I know that both Jill and I |
| 1:12.3 | play a game on the New York Times app called Wordle, almost every day, where you have |
| 1:17.6 | to guess a five letter word, and I also play a game called the B where you get seven letters |
| 1:23.4 | and you have to use them to make lots of different words. I always finish wordle. |
| 1:28.2 | I don't always finish the B. Sometimes there's just way too many possible combinations, but |
| 1:33.5 | I do really enjoy doing it. I feel like it turns my brain on in the morning. I'm curious |
| 1:38.0 | if any of y'all do it and do you do it morning or night? |
| 1:41.7 | I do it at night. It is part of my bedtime routine of I set an alarm for 10 p.m., which |
| 1:50.0 | is my first clue that I have to stop eating and start relaxing, although it's also my |
| 1:56.9 | clue that I start working because I'm a night owl, and I'm better at 11 o'clock at night |
| 2:02.8 | to two or three in the morning than I am during the day. So that's part of it. But when |
