Married ... With June’s fight continues as ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ returns

BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Two streaming series re- turn, both offering brooding meditations on possible fu- tures. Hulu’s adaptation of “The Handmaid’s Tale” enters its third season, the second to depart from and expand upon the 1985 Margaret Atwood novel upon which the series is based. Not to give too much away, but this season June (Elisabeth Moss) continues her resistance to the religious dictatorship. For many, the second season of “Hand- maid” was too brutal to en- dure. While we don’t know if June will ever escape Gilead, some viewers have opted to leave the sadism behind. A playful contemplation of technology and its effects on our life and culture, “Black Mirror” streams its fifth sea- son on Netflix. In “Striking Vipers,” two former roommates (Anthony Mackie and Yahya Abdul-Ma- teen II) meet up after a de- cade-long separation.

e set out to cre- ate a fresh, W bright chicken salad inspired by the fla- vors of Mexico.

A simple tequila-lime mix- ture boosted the chicken’s fla- vor both in a quick marinade before cooking and, when cooked down with some or- ange juice, as a reduced sauce drizzled over the chicken after cooking. Grilled avocados gave the salad more smoky depth. We cooked the chicken over the hotter part of the grill to get a good char while cooking the more delicate avocados at the same time on the cooler side. To bring the salad to- gether, we created a bright, tangy vinaigrette by combin- ing lime juice and olive oil with cayenne and honey for well-rounded flavor.
