A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Loafing Around
If the weather has you in the mood to bake something, hit play on this week’s podcast episode—maybe as you preheat the oven?—and you’ll get a butter-sculpture primer for good measure, too. For more food fodder: our past interviews with Amanda Hesser, Julia Turshen, Lani Halliday, and Vanessa and Kim Pham. And don’t forget: We’re working on this year’s gift guides and want to know who you need help shopping for! Just reply to this email, tell us your woes, and we’ll get to work.
erica’s things
Discovering a context in which I care about Marvel.
Enjoying everything about the Saint Heron Community Library (the UX of the Q&A included).
Getting some really good energy from my butter dish. It just has the right attitude, you know?
Directing anyone who’s done multiple rewatches of Drop Dead Gorgeous here—and not just because I really need to talk about this show with people.
Cracking up, oh, every other page while reading this.
claire’s things
Wondering if this is when I finally succumb to the penny loafer trend.
Seriously leveling-up my Zoom appearance, no ring light required.
Soaking up the wisdom of older generations via this (Lois Lowry!!) and this (Sonoko Sakai!!)—and just generally applauding a turn toward celebrating aging.
Welcoming a new entry to my placemats-as-decor mood board.
Attempting to winnow down my wishlist from Pedersen + Lennard—the birdfeeder, the balance bike, the grilling caddy?!
