Counting on Venus Williams for exceptionalism in all of her pursuits, including making sunscreen.
Watching pasta-making videos I can’t actually understand from one of the most charming restaurants in Rome. No, it’s not at all like vacationing in Italy, but I’LL TAKE IT.
Learning that “FLOTUS” and “newb” are 37 this year—just like me!—by way of Merriam-Webster’s smart—and often surprising—Time Traveler feature.
Forgoing cans of chipotle peppers entirely and relying on Xilli to deliver that taco-night complexity and heat. I’m thinking this is a collect-all-the-sauces scenario?

Feeling relieved that Karen, I Said is getting a second run (presumably thanks to a rave in the NYT?) because I was kicking myself for not telling you about it the first time around.
Sending my sodium levels through the roof.
Deciding that if Gossip Time’s breakdown of the Dominic West–Lily James scandal is any indication, we have much to look forward to.
Fantasizing about covering something (anything) in one of Ottoline’s incredible fabrics or wallpapers.
Leaving it to Zabar’s to have the best decaf beans in the biz.
