erica’s things

Whipping up this very spring-y pasta that comes together in 20 minutes flat. Really!
Cracking up over pretty much everything posted on the men’s style site Four Pins. The tone is like Of a Kind’s ornery brother—try this and this on for size.
Thinking that every city should have a wine bar like New Orleans’s Bacchanal: You pick out a bottle (and maybe some cheese!) from the shop in the front, grab some glasses, and camp out at a table in the verdant back patio.
Falling unreasonably hard for Eric Trine’s Rod+Weave Chair. Woven leather—oof.
Revisiting my old pals Claudia Kishi and Stacey McGill: The Hairpin imagines what life might be like post-Baby-sitters Club.

Loving this New Yorker piece about the internal politics of hip-hop and one guy at the center of it all. Here’s the Radiolab version of the story, in case you don’t have a subscription to the former.
Slowly but surely getting the hang of pilates (I think I’m standing up straighter now!) and wanting to buy this thing so I can keep up my routine while I’m on the road.
Falling down an internet rabbit hole of marbled balloons, inspired by design genius Grace Bonney’s wedding party. (Congrats, Grace!)
Wondering if I’ll ever get tired of the green papaya or the shaved collard greens at Nightingale 9—my near-weekly habit is telling me the answer is no.
Remembering how much fun I used to have playing with my dad’s record player, thanks to this great, slowed-down version of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene.”
