This Day in Legal History: Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr's Kid Sworn in as JusticeOn December 8, 1902, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. was sworn in as an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, beginning one of the most storied judicial careers in American history. Appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt, Holmes brought not just legal brilliance but a fierce sense of independence to the bench—qualities that would define his nearly 30-year tenure. He would become known as “The Great Dissenter,” not because he loved conflict, but because he saw the Constitution as a living document that demanded humility, skepticism of dogma, and above all, respect for democratic governance.Holmes shaped modern constitutional law, particularly in his groundbreaking First Amendment opinions. In Schenck v. United States (1919), he famously coined the “clear and present danger” test, establishing a foundational limit on government power to suppress speech. Though that decision upheld a conviction, Holmes's dissent later that year in Abrams v. United States marked his turn toward a much broader vision of free expression—one that laid the groundwork for modern civil liberties jurisprudence.A Civil War veteran wounded at Antietam, Holmes served with the Massachusetts Volunteers and carried shrapnel in his body for the rest of his life. His long memory gave him historical depth: legend holds he met both Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy—Lincoln as a young Union officer in Washington, and JFK decades later when the future president visited the aged Holmes on his 90th birthday. While the Lincoln meeting is plausible and widely accepted, the Kennedy encounter is well documented—photos exist of JFK visiting Holmes in 1932, shortly before the justice's death.Holmes's legal philosophy emphasized restraint, often reminding fellow jurists that the Constitution “is made for people of fundamentally differing views.” He resisted turning the judiciary into a super-legislature, warning against confusing personal preference with constitutional mandate. His opinions, dissents, and aphorisms—“taxes are what we pay for civilized society,” among them—still echo in courtrooms and classrooms today.By the time he retired in 1932 at age 90, Holmes had become an icon: not just a jurist, but a symbol of intellectual honesty and constitutional humility. His December 8 appointment wasn't just another judicial swearing-in—it was the beginning of a philosophical legacy that still defines the boundaries of American legal thought.Amit Agarwal, a former clerk to Justices Alito and Kavanaugh, will soon find himself arguing against the very ideology he once clerked under—defending limits on presidential power in a case that could gut a nearly century-old precedent, Humphrey's Executor v. United States (1935). He'll be representing former FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, who sued after President Trump gave her the boot, and whose case now tees up a potentially seismic shift in how presidents control independent agencies.At issue is whether the president can remove members of independent commissions—like the FTC—at will, or whether statutory “for cause” protections, created by Congress and upheld since the New Deal, still mean anything. If the Supreme Court overturns Humphrey's Executor, it would blow a hole in the legal framework that has shielded multi-member agencies from raw political interference since Roosevelt tried—and failed—to remake the FTC in his own image.Let's pause here: Humphrey's Executor isn't just some dusty New Deal relic. It drew a sharp line between executive officers who serve the president directly and independent regulators who are supposed to be immune from daily political whims. The Court in 1935 said: no, FDR, you can't just fire an FTC commissioner because he's not singing from your hymnbook. That ruling became the backbone of modern agency independence—from the Fed to the SEC to the NLRB. Without it, the next president could dismiss any regulatory head who doesn't toe the party line. You want crypto rules to mean something? Food safety? Banking supervision? Say goodbye to all that if we pretend these agencies are just White House interns with better titles.But here's where it gets interesting: Agarwal is making the conservative case for restraint. Now working at Protect Democracy, he's arguing that letting presidents fire independent commissioners at will isn't a win for constitutional governance—it's a power grab that warps the original design. He's invoked Burkean conservatism—the idea that practical experience should trump theoretical purity—and warns that blind devotion to the “unitary executive theory” threatens institutional integrity more than it protects separation of powers.And Agarwal isn't alone. A collection of conservative legal scholars, former judges, and ex-White House lawyers—some with deep Federalist Society credentials—have filed briefs supporting his position. Their argument? That Humphrey's Executor is an “originalist” decision, faithful to the Founders' ambivalence about concentrated executive power, especially in domestic administration.Still, let's be honest: the Court is unlikely to be swayed by this internal dissent. The Roberts Court has already chipped away at agency independence in decisions like Seila Law (2020) and Loper Bright (2024), where it let Trump fire the CFPB director and overturned Chevron deference respectively. With a solid conservative majority, and multiple justices openly embracing a muscular vision of presidential control, the writing may already be on the wall.Which is precisely what makes Agarwal's stand so notable. This isn't some progressive legal activist parachuting in from the ACLU (though his wife did work there). This is someone who backed Kavanaugh publicly, donated to Nikki Haley, and spent years rising through the conservative legal pipeline—only to conclude that this version of executive power isn't conservative at all. It's reactionary.So what happens if Humphrey's goes down? Beyond the short-term question of whether Slaughter gets her job back, the bigger issue is how much power presidents will wield over what were supposed to be politically insulated regulatory bodies. Will a ruling in Trump's favor mean future presidents can purge the Fed board? Fire NLRB members mid-term? Flatten the independence of enforcement agencies? The Court may claim it's just restoring “constitutional structure,” but don't be surprised if that structure starts to look a lot like one-man rule.Agarwal, to his credit, is saying: not so fast. Sometimes conserving means preserving. And sometimes defending the Constitution means restraining the people who claim to speak for it the loudest.Ex-Alito, Kavanaugh Clerk Defends Limits on Trump's Firing PowerFight over Trump's power to fire FTC member heads to US Supreme Court | ReutersA federal judge has temporarily barred the Justice Department from using evidence seized from Daniel Richman, a former legal adviser to ex-FBI Director James Comey, in any future attempts to revive criminal charges against Comey. The move comes just weeks after the original case was dismissed due to the lead prosecutor's unlawful appointment.At issue is whether federal prosecutors violated Richman's Fourth Amendment rights by searching his personal computer without a warrant during earlier investigations into media leaks tied to Comey's 2020 congressional testimony. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sided with Richman—for now—saying he's likely to succeed on the merits and ordering the government to isolate and secure the data until at least December 12.The contested materials had been used to support now-dropped charges that Comey made false statements and obstructed Congress regarding FBI leaks about the Clinton and Trump investigations. But Richman, once a special FBI employee himself, argues the search was illegal and wants the files deleted or returned.The Justice Department, undeterred, is reportedly considering a second indictment of Comey. But between shaky prosecutorial appointments and constitutional challenges like this one, their case is rapidly sliding into legally questionable territory.US federal judge temporarily blocks evidence use in dismissed Comey case | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court has declined to review a controversial book removal case out of Llano County, Texas, effectively allowing local officials to keep 17 books off public library shelves—titles that deal with race, LGBTQ+ identity, puberty, and even flatulence.The justices let stand a divided 5th Circuit ruling that found no First Amendment violation in the county's decision to pull the books. That decision reversed a lower court order requiring the books be returned and rejected the plaintiffs' argument that library patrons have a constitutional “right to receive information.” The 5th Circuit held that libraries have wide discretion to curate collections, and that removing titles doesn't equate to banning them altogether—people can still buy them online, the court reasoned.The dispute began in 2021 when local officials responded to complaints by residents, ultimately purging books including Maurice Sendak's In the Night Kitchen (due to nude illustrations), as well as works on slavery and gender identity. Opponents of the removal sued, citing free speech violations. But the case now stands as a significant blow to that theory—at least in the 5th Circuit, which covers Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.The Supreme Court's refusal to intervene leaves unresolved a key question: does the First Amendment protect not just the right to speak, but the right to access certain information in public institutions? For now, in parts of the South, the answer appears to be no.US Supreme Court turns away appeal of Texas library book ban | Reuters This is a public episode.

Giving edible gifts at Christmas is a winner I say! Some ideas take some forethought, like preserved lemons, fruit pastes, chutneys and sauerkraut, but there's plenty of other ideas that you can whip up over a day or weekend right before the big day. Think shortbreads, flavoured oils, scented salts or sugar meringues, spiced nuts, dukkah, gingerbread loaf, or one of my favourites, biscotti. Jars, bottles and small wooden or cardboard boxes can all be found in second hand shops, as can ribbon, wool, cotton etc to make them all look pretty. Tie some rosemary or bay leaves to jars and bottles for a festive look or decorate boxes with potato and paint stamps. Get creative! Pistachio and cranberry biscotti Homemade biscotti makes for a wonderful Christmas gift as it keeps well (so can be made ahead) and it's one of those things that's so much better than the store-bought variety. Makes about 30 Ingredients 3 medium sized eggs, at room temperature ½ cup olive oil (can use 5 tbsps. butter) ½ tsp orange zest 2 ¼ cups plain flour 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt ½ cup caster sugar ½ cup brown sugar ½ cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped ½ cup shelled pistachios ¼ cup dried cranberries Method Preheat oven to 180 C and line a baking tray with baking paper. In a large bowl, lightly whisk eggs, olive oil, and orange zest. Add flour, baking powder, salt and sugars and stir until just incorporated. Fold in almonds, pistachios and cranberries and mix until combined. Divide dough into half. Place each half on lined tray and with damp fingers, shape into a log shape about 4cm x 30cm. Flatten slightly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown in colour and hard on the outside but not all the way through. Let cool and use a serrated knife, slice at an angle about 1.5cm thick. Place slices back on the tray and bake for 12-16 minutes more, until firm. They will firm up more as they cool. Place on a wire rack to cool before filling jars with them as presents. Nici's Notes: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if your body has been speaking to you all along and the real work is learning how to listen? For decades, we were taught to disconnect. To push harder, burn faster, and ignore the signals that whispered: this doesn't feel good. We were told our bodies were problems to solve. Tighten this. Shrink that. Flatten, firm, erase. Join me as I sit down with the brilliant Lauren Ohayon, movement educator and founder of Restore Your Core, whose work is not about fixing your body, but finally hearing it. Together, we unravel the lies women have been sold about fitness, aging, the pelvic floor, and the performance of womanhood. We talk about what it means to actually feel at home in our bodies again. This isn't a conversation about “getting back into shape.” This is a restoration. Of intuition. Of strength without strain. Of softness without shame. In this episode we explore: Why conventional fitness has been quietly damaging women for decades The truth about your pelvic floor (and why you can stop doing those endless Kegels) Why body intelligence is more powerful than discipline How we raise daughters to trust themselves—and their own wisdom The difference between moving to manipulate and moving to metabolize your life You deserve to feel powerful in your own skin, not because someone said you should, but because your body is sacred, intelligent, and yours.

Be honest. When Kai Havertz missed that first half sitter, you thought that Arsenal were going to lose, didn't you? And why wouldn't you? That's how football works. It's powered by narrativium. Except this time it wasn't. Arsenal destroyed City and Havertz got one in the back of the net eventually.  Amy Lawrence has the Arsenal angle, Sam Lee has City, but we've also got Carl Anka at Old Trafford, the theatre of pathos, we've got Jay Harris at the GTech where Spurs were impressive and if that's not enough, Pol Ballus joins us from Spain where Barcelona have rejoined the title race.   Presenter: Iain Macintosh With: Sam Lee, Amy Lawrence, Carl Anka, Jay Harris, Si Watts and Pol Ballus Producer: Si Watts Learn more about your ad choices.

Link to Success Stories: https://drbrg.co/4gx2nVX A caloric deficit is not a sustainable way to lose weight or get a flat stomach! Most people find that their metabolism slows down in their 20s and 30s after a series of calorie-restrictive diets. Lowering calories increases hunger and cravings, which will require immense willpower and can stifle weight loss. The caloric deficit model is not sustainable! Insulin is the hormone that controls whether you burn or store fat. If you reduce insulin, you can tap into your body fat for energy. Carbohydrates have the most significant effect on insulin, while fat is neutral and protein has a moderate impact. All calories are not the same! To lose weight, you must lower insulin, which means you must reduce your carb intake. If you're on a low-carb diet, your body can use both food and body fat for fuel. This eliminates hunger and cravings between meals. Fat provides more than double the energy of glucose. It takes 2 to 3 days to get into ketosis and 2 to 3 weeks for fat adaptation. Fat adaptation means your body is burning the most fat possible. Your body can burn ketones and fat, which are two different fuel sources. To get your body into ketosis, carbohydrates should make up about 5% of your diet, protein 20%, and fat 75%. Visceral fat in the abdomen may prevent a flat belly, but you can eliminate it with this diet. The dead bug exercise stimulates the fascia and muscles that can act as a girdle, giving you a flat belly fast! Do this exercise every day, and within 1 to 2 weeks, you will start to see amazing results!

It's the What Ya' Got Cookin'? Thanksgiving edition, a beloved tradition here on Midday, going all the way back to 2016. Tom talks with John Shields, owner of Gertrude's at the Baltimore Museum of Art and Damian Mosely of Blacksauce Kitchen. The two chefs talk with Tom and the Midday callers about cooking tips and food faux pas for folks preparing tomorrow's big meal. We also get a special check-in from Tom's mom, Rosemary Hall.   Jo-Jo's Curried Crab Dip (Gertrude's Recipe) Ingredients (8 servings): 1/2 cup of Dried currants 1 lb of Cream cheese 2 tbsp of Madras Curry Powder 2 tbsp of Mayonnaise 1/3 cup of Coconut Milk 1/3 cup of Minced green onions or chives 1/3 cup of finely diced Red bell pepper 1 lb of Lump or Claw Crab meat 1 pack of Melba rounds, Water crackers or Ginger snaps.   Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small bowl place the currants and just enough water to cover. Let stand for 15 minutes. Drain, but reserve 2 tablespoons of liquid, and put the currants aside.  In a large bowl combine the cream cheese, curry powder, mayonnaise, coconut milk, green onion, and red bell pepper. Beat until smooth and somewhat creamy. Mix in the crabmeat, currants, and 2 tablespoons of the reserved currant liquid.  Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot or warm with Melba rounds, Water crackers, or Ginger snaps.   Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie (Gertrude's Recipe) Ingredients (1-9 Inch Pie): 1 Pie Crust 3 Eggs 1/2 cup of Sugar 1/2 cup of Brown sugar 1 cup of Karo syrup 2 tsp of Vanilla extract 1/2 cup of Melted butter 2 tsp of Flour 2 oz of Unsweetened chocolate, melted 1 1/2 oz of Semi-sweetened chocolate, melted 1/4 cup of Locally distilled bourbon 1 1/2 cup of Pecan pieces (per pie)   Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cream eggs and sugar together. Stir in the Karo syrup, vanilla, butter, and flour, Mix well. Add chocolate and bourbon. Spread pecan pieces around the bottom of each pie crust. Pour in filling and gently mix into the nuts. Bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until puffy and set. Cool and serve.   Rosemary Hall's Fresh Cranberry Relish Tom's Mom makes this delicious cranberry concoction, which Tom and his Mom first learned from James Porterfield, a friend in Ithaca, NY. Ingredients: 1lb Cranberries 1/2 cup of White granulated sugar (Tom uses 1/4 of a cup) 1/2 cup of Firmly packed brown sugar (Tom uses 1/4 of a cup) 1 cup of water   Directions: Grab a pot and bring the cranberries and sugar to a boil and cook for 10 minutes. When cool, mix in: 2 tbsp of Horseradish 2 tbsp of Dijon mustard Serve over Cream cheese as an Appetizer, or eat it as a side with Turkey, Chicken, or Pork.   Sweet Potato Biscuits (Blacksauce Recipe) Ingredients: 4.75 lbs of All-purpose flour 7 tbsp of Baking powder 4 tbsp of Sugar 2 tsp of Salt 1.75 lb of Cold butter, cut into parts 1 lb of a Peeled Sweet potato 64 oz of Buttermilk 2 oz of Heavy cream 2 tbsp of Turbinado sugar   Directions: Preheat convection oven to 400°F. (if you're using a conventional oven, then 425°F). Line two half-size sheet pans with parchment paper. Measure dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt) into a stainless steel bowl. Using a knife and sanitized cutting board, cut the butter into 1-ounce cubes. In small batches, pulse the flour mixture and butter in the bowl of a food processor until the mixture resembles a coarse cornmeal. Return mixture to stainless steel bowl. Add roasted sweet potato to the food processor; pulse in the buttermilk. Make a well in the center of the flour & butter mixture; using a stainless steel spoon, fold in sweet potato buttermilk mixture just until the dough comes together. Turn out the biscuit dough onto dry, lightly floured work table; bring together and knead twice. Flatten the mound of dough, with hands or rolling pin, to two inches in height. Cut biscuits using 2” biscuit cutter, and place next to each other on sheet pan. Bake for 9 minutes in full size electric convection oven Remove biscuits from the oven and, working quickly, brush the tops with heavy cream and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Return to the oven and bake for 9 more minutes in full size electric convection oven. Remove pans from oven and place onto bun rack to cool.   Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

On this week's show we take a look at a device that claims it will flatten your warped vinyl. Then we ask is there anything that can be done to prevent subscribers from pausing the streaming services. We also read your email and take a look at the week's news. News: Xumo expands retail scope with Target deal Matter 1.4 now supports more smart home devices and adds new capabilities TiVo to launch smart TVs in US by year-end Apple Set For Smart Home Revolution Other: Cosm LG Display's stretchable screen is now even stretchier - The Verge Record Pi Vinyl Flattener A couple of episodes ago we talked about a turntable that uses suction to make warped records flat. Ara joked about taking a blow dryer and heating up the record and then just unwarping it. Well it turns out that there is a product that essentially does this. One of our listeners, Matthew Dropco, pointed us to a product that flattens your vinyl! The Record Pi ($275) vinyl flattener is an innovative solution tailored for fixing warped vinyl records, featuring a patent-pending integrated system comprising three essential components: the Record Pi Device, Record Pi Temperature Controller, and Record Pi Heating Case. The Record Pi Device is engineered using premium steel alloy, ensuring an even distribution of heat while securely holding the record to apply uniform flattening pressure with heavy metal alloy plates and protective Groove Guards. The Temperature Controller offers precise temperature regulation within 1°F of the target range of 100 to 145°F, allowing users to remotely adjust settings via internet connectivity using either Google Android or Apple iOS devices, provided a compatible Wi-Fi router is available. The Record Pi Heating Case not only warms the device during use but also serves as a practical storage solution when not in operation. The product comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee (with the buyer covering return shipping) and a two-year limited warranty, providing confidence in its durability and effectiveness. Weighing 16 lbs, the Record Pi is designed for US standard voltage of 110V but can also be used internationally with the appropriate voltage converter, ensuring its versatility for vinyl enthusiasts everywhere. What can streaming services do to keep customers from pausing subscriptions? We found an article over at TheStreamable.com opining about “What can streaming services do to keep customers from pausing subscriptions”. We have some thoughts on this as well!  As streaming services in the U.S. approach market saturation, the focus has shifted from acquiring new customers to retaining current ones. Recent data reveals a significant rise in viewers pausing their subscriptions, increasing from 29.8% in 2022 to 34.2% in early 2024. Many consumers are not dissatisfied with their services; rather, they find it hard to justify the cost until new desirable content is available. To address this issue, streaming providers are exploring various strategies. Current efforts include enhancing bundling options, as surveys indicate that bundled services can significantly decrease cancellations. Recent bundles, such as the Disney+, Hulu, and Max combination, aim to encourage user loyalty. Additional strategies could involve allowing customers to temporarily pause their subscriptions while keeping their accounts active. For example, Hulu could offer a one-time 30-day pause option at a lower rate, such as on an ad-supported plan, to keep users engaged without full financial commitment. Overall, creative retention strategies beyond simple discounts may be essential for preventing subscription pauses.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: BatchTopK: A Simple Improvement for TopK-SAEs, published by Bart Bussmann on July 20, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. Work done in Neel Nanda's stream of MATS 6.0. Epistemic status: Tried this on a single sweep and seems to work well, but it might definitely be a fluke of something particular to our implementation or experimental set-up. As there are also some theoretical reasons to expect this technique to work (adaptive sparsity), it seems probable that for many TopK SAE set-ups it could be a good idea to also try BatchTopK. As we're not planning to investigate this much further and it might be useful to others, we're just sharing what we've found so far. TL;DR: Instead of taking the TopK feature activations per token during training, taking the Top(K*batch_size) for every batch seems to improve SAE performance. During inference, this activation can be replaced with a single global threshold for all features. Introduction Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have emerged as a promising tool for interpreting the internal representations of large language models. By learning to reconstruct activations using only a small number of features, SAEs can extract monosemantic concepts from the representations inside transformer models. Recently, OpenAI published a paper exploring the use of TopK activation functions in SAEs. This approach directly enforces sparsity by only keeping the K largest activations per sample. While effective, TopK forces every token to use exactly k features, which is likely suboptimal. We came up with a simple modification that solves this and seems to improve its performance. BatchTopK Standard TopK SAEs apply the TopK operation independently to each sample in a batch. For a target sparsity of K, this means exactly K features are activated for every sample. BatchTopK instead applies the TopK operation across the entire flattened batch: 1. Flatten all feature activations across the batch 2. Take the top (K * batch_size) activations 3. Reshape back to the original batch shape This allows more flexibility in how many features activate per sample, while still maintaining an average of K active features across the batch. Experimental Set-Up For both the TopK and the BatchTopK SAEs we train a sweep with the following hyperparameters: Model: gpt2-small Site: layer 8 resid_pre Batch size: 4096 Optimizer: Adam (lr=3e-4, beta1 = 0.9, beta2=0.99) Number of tokens: 1e9 Expansion factor: [4, 8, 16, 32] Target L0 (k): [16, 32, 64] As in the OpenAI paper, the input gets normalized before feeding it into the SAE and calculating the reconstruction loss. We also use the same auxiliary loss function for dead features (features that didn't activate for 5 batches) that calculates the loss on the residual using the top 512 dead features per sample and gets multiplied by a factor 1/32. Results For a fixed number of active features (L0=32) the BatchTopK SAE has a lower normalized MSE than the TopK SAE and less downstream loss degradation across different dictionary sizes. Similarly, for fixed dictionary size (12288) BatchTopK outperforms TopK for different values of k. Our main hypothesis for the improved performance is thanks to adaptive sparsity: some samples contain more highly activating features than others. Let's have look at the distribution of number of active samples for the BatchTopK model. The BatchTopK model indeed makes use of its possibility to use different sparsities for different inputs. We suspect that the weird peak on the left side are the feature activations on BOS-tokens, given that its frequency is very close to 1 in 128, which is the sequence length. This serves as a great example of why BatchTopK might outperform TopK. At the BOS-token, a sequence has very little information yet, but the TopK SAE still activates 32 features. The BatchTopK model "saves" th...

Episode 201 Sponsored by: River Road Family Vineyards and Winery Carol Shelton, Winemaker and Owner of Carol Shelton Wines Today we are joined by renowned winemaker Carol Shelton! We delve into her favorites- currently, the 2022 Coquille Blanc and Wild Thing Rendezvous Rosé, discussing their distinctive winemaking processes. She emphasizes the critical role barrel selection plays in shaping the wines' flavor profiles and highlights the richness of her wines through food pairing, providing a recipe for an asparagus tart that beautifully complements the Coquille Blanc. Wines of the Day: Carol Shelton 2022 Coquille Blanc Wild Thing 2023 Rendezvous Rosé Fast Five: Carol's "Asparagus Tart" - Or Fancy Pizza :) Instructions from Carol herself: Here are the FIVE (sort of, I cheated a bit): 1 roll of crescent roll dough (or puff pastry if you have to be fancy) 2 T. Dijon mustard 2 c. freshly grated gruyère cheese (or fontina or asiago) 1 # very skinny asparagus, tough ends snapped or cut off, then cut into 1” lengths ½ c. freshly grated parmesan cheese A squeeze of fresh lemon juice and its zest (optional) A sprinkling of Herbes de Provence (optional)   Preheat oven to 400°F. Flatten out crescent roll dough into a rectangle (approx. 12”x9”) on parchment paper on a sheet pan. Prick it all over with a fork (called “docking it”).  Spread the mustard evenly over the docked dough.  Sprinkle grated gruyère over crust, avoiding edges so it won't bubble over when hot. Lay asparagus over the bed of cheese and sprinkle herbs, parmesan and lemon juice/zest on top.  You can make a nice pattern of the asparagus if you want to get fancy! Bake at 400°F for 15-20 min or until pastry edges are brown and crispy and cheese is melted. Cut into squares and serve—top with a squeeze of balsamic glaze if desired.   Links: https://www.carolshelton.com/ Sponsor: River Road Family Vineyards and Winery Credits: The Wine Road podcast is mixed and mastered at
