Making Phoenix and Miles do like a comedy variety show-type presentation was such a good choice. Glad to get confirmation that Miles continues to reign as #1 babygirl.

Mayonnaise

Among the slew of articles of older generations blaming millennials for hurting certain industries, one of them has stood out among the rest. This one is called How Millennials Killed Mayonnaise. This article is a wild one! It takes the reader through a brief history of mayonnaise as well as a ride on a wave of dark negative emotions. Just when you think there is a positive, Sandy Hingston will bring you right back down into the depths of her crying mind where mayonnaise is ignored, and her family’s favourite dishes are shunned at various gatherings. 

She does let readers know that her young son likes mayonnaise, but her daughter, who happens to be a Women’s and Gender Studies major, “naturally” does not. I don’t know why this is natural, but what do I know about Women’s Studies? For all I know, that could be in the curriculum! There are some really strange views throughout this article, as well as some weird slang where either Hingston is trying to be cool, or she is trying to be ironic. I believe it is the former. 

For all it’s worth, I think Mayonnaise is a pretty good condiment. I have had plenty of food that looks unpleasant. I have eaten plenty of things that would probably be disgusting to most; caviar, escargot, and uni. I don’t think mayo looking gross would bother younger folk because I believe we are becoming more adventurous with trying different food. We are trying different textures and unknown flavours. Mayo is used as a condiment for different foods like chicken karage and french fries. It’s still used on many sandwiches, and aioli is a pretty close cousin of the condiment. It is just a fancier word to put on a menu. The Food Network and the cool, hip ‘tude of chef culture has expanded our thoughts about food, where it comes from, and what we can do with it. It doesn’t mean we are throwing away older methods and ingredients. Young chefs are going back and looking at the history of food, and the history of traditional family recipes. Maybe an old mayonnaise is in there ready to be manipulated, or put on a menu in its traditional form. Whatever the case, trends may die but they can resurface in a new way. Just look at guys with whimsical mustaches. 

Talking trash about food is not great. There are a lot of people in the world who don’t have the luxury of choosing their meals, and are lucky to even get a decent meal. But trashing an entire generation? Come on... I do agree that mayo rules, but maybe you gotta check your recipes because they probably taste like shit.

i keep tossing and turning around the question of why I'm picking up fatherly brother vibes from Kristoph and I think I know why now.

I think it's in part due to Klavier becoming a prosecutor so young at 17 years. Our frame of reference for young prosecutors includes Franziska and Miles who became prosecutors at 13 and 20 respectively. Manfred pushed them to be the best. Perhaps Kristoph did the same in his own twisted way. Through financial backing is one thought.

Maybe it's the distinct lack of a father figure being mentioned in the context of the Gavin family unit that leads me to think about how Kristoph came to have control and influence over Klavier.

Maybe it's the theme of fatherhood and parenthood in general that is so prevalent in the narrative of each case in aa4 and with the core cast. Throughout the whole game, longtime fans playing for the first time would probably be reeling over the fact that Phoenix is a dad, as the game intends for you to do.

It's also the way Kristoph scolds Klavier on the stand in the last case and Klavier's reaction to his brother's words.
