Couple ‘romanticizes' economy flight with DIY luxury hack: ‘Manifesting getting sat next to you guys on my next flight'
Natalia Corso, an Emirates flight attendant, shared how she and her boyfriend turn their economy seats into a full-on 'luxury' experience — and the Internet was simultaneously jealous and irritated. 'Manifesting getting sat next to you guys on my next flight,' wrote one hopeful commenter. In a video that's now racked up over 28 million views, the part-time content creator filmed herself conjuring up espresso martinis on her Instagram account, @nataliacorso, seemingly out of thin air. Advertisement The 28-year-old pulled a plastic shaker and two martini glasses out of her bag, and quickly got to work. Corso added a few cups of ice, vodka, coffee liqueur, irish cream liqueur, and in-flight coffee, before shaking the life out of the concoction. 'It's not that serious,' one hater said, speaking for a small, but loud group in the comment section. Others were irked at the fact that this impromptu cocktail session happened from the middle seat, while some speculated the preposterous price tag on this flight-cap had to surpass $50 — for the shots alone. Advertisement Another commenter also expressed irritation at the video: 'People can't go anywhere without drinking,' they complained. 'If I'm trying to sleep and and you're shaking a martini I'mma be pissed,' warned one grumpy passenger. Some commenters found this in-flight ritual annoying, while others slammed the creator for bothering flight attendants with extra requests. fesenko – Though several viewers deemed the desperate DIY 'hack' illegal, Corso clarified in the comments that the alcohol pictured was 'all miniatures offered on the flight.' Advertisement The critics doubled down, and maintained that the content creator should have been more clear about where she obtained the alcohol from the get go — though, surely, one would assume a flight attendant would be hip to the familiar in-flight rules. 'It's a federal offense… You won't be able to romanticize economy from the no-fly list,' one reply said. Meanwhile, one espresso martini purist got huffy over Corso's mixology skills. 'Bailey's does not go in an espresso Martini,' they begged in the replies. 'Stop this madness everybody!!!' Advertisement Others were quietly impressed that she achieved a decent foam on the surface of the drink. Instagram / @nataliacorso While the bulk of the budget bartender's comments were gushing over how Corso offered a drink to the aisle seat passenger too, some Internet sleuths discovered that the girl was not, in fact a stranger. Some speculated that the third wheel, Valeria Mandelli, a fellow Emirates flight attendant, was her sister, while others thought she was just a friend. Either way, the video's virality opened up the in-flight floodgates, and the two have since made Cosmopolitans and Bloody Marys in economy seats. This burgeoning trend appears to be a continuation of another recent alcohol-in-airport phenomenon, when passengers were mixing their own espresso martinis while in the terminal, but this iteration seems to have drawn more ire. While some viewers slammed this as 'self-centered behavior,' the overwhelming majority were inspired, so the next time you're awoken from an in-flight nap by ice-shaking idiots, thank the Internet — and the Instagram algorithm.

Shepherd's Pie and irish cream cupcakes
1 tbsp olive oil 2 lbs ground beef or ground lamb (or use a combo of both!) 1 large onion, diced 2 stalks celery, diced 3 carrots, peeled and diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 tbsp flour 1 1/2 cups beef broth 1 tsp dried thyme 1/2 tsp dried rosemary 1 tbsp tomato paste (or sub ketchup if you don't keep tomato paste around) 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 cup fresh or frozen peas Salt and pepper, to taste 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks 1/2 stick butter, salted or unsalted 1/2 cup half and half, plus more if needed to adjust consistency Salt, to taste Chopped parsley to garnish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat and cook and crumble the meat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots and cook until the vegetables are soft. Add the garlic and flour and cook briefly for about one minute. Add the beef broth, thyme, rosemary, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes to thicken. Add the peas, cook for another five minutes, and season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, prepare the mashed potatoes. Dice them into a large pot filled with water. Once you're finished dicing, swish the potatoes around and drain the water. Fill with fresh water and bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until potatoes are very tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain fully and rinse the potatoes very quickly with hot water. Meanwhile, place the pot back on the stove with the butter and half and half over medium heat. Let the butter melt into the half and half. Use a ricer to add the potatoes back to the pot. Alternately, add the cooked potatoes to the dairy mixture and mash with a potato masher. Season very well with salt. Transfer the meat mixture to a baking dish, then top with a layer of the mashed potatoes on top to cover. Alternately, divide the meat mixture amongst individual oven-safe ramekins or bowls, then top with the mashed potatoes for individual servings. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and browned on top. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. 1 3/4 cup flour 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 3/4 cup dutch processed cocoa powder 1 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup oil 1 cup whole buttermilk 2 eggs 3/4 cup hot coffee 1/4 cup Bailey's Irish cream Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Whisk in the eggs and add to the dry ingredients. Start to combine and whisk in the hot coffee and Bailey's. Line muffin tins with 24 paper liners and divide the batter evenly into the tins. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting. 8 oz cream cheese 1 stick unsalted butter, softened 3 cups powdered sugar Pinch salt 2 tbsp Bailey's Irish cream Green sprinkles, optional To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and salt until light and fluffy.
