A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Cheering Up Our Screens

Written By Catherine Krenzer

If this week’s calendars included things beyond staring into a video-chat abyss, ours would be sprinkled with celebrations of Marisa Meltzer and her wonderfully insightful and introspective new read This Is Big: How the Founder of Weight Watchers Changed the World (and Me). So let’s all gather ‘round our speakers with our most festive snack and listen to Marisa hold court on weight, wellness, women, and various other topics that don’t even start with W. Also, because we’re all about a recommendation, if you know someone who’d be into this newsletter, do us a solid and tell them about it, huh? Forward it willy-nilly, even. We love your love.

erica’s things

  • Playing cocktail-hour roulette with a set of little books that are organized by booze and do a good job limiting the number of “yeah, right” ingredients.

  • Looking to these illos for a fashion fix. Er, no offense, Zoom comrades.

  • Rubbing this stuff on my neck and taking a big, fat inhale on afternoons when I wish I was the sort of person who could drink coffee after 1 p.m.

  • Entering the soundtrack phase of my quarantine music consumption, bopping between the ones from My Best Friend’s Wedding and Sex Education...which happen to have the song “Wishin’ and Hopin’” in common.

  • Throwing some polenta in the oven (and then slicing it up and pan-frying it the next day).
