10 Things We're Doing Besides Moving yet Still Grooving
What’s that thing they say? That moving is more stressful than divorce? Just as? Leads to?

erica’s things
Tracking the rise of kale, which (somehow) involves a T-shirt, a music video, and a full-blown conspiracy.
Remembering how much I like a buffed manicure, surfacing proof that it’s not bad for my fingernails, and shaking my fist at whoever convinced me it was in the first place.
Discovering that this book about Georgia O’Keeffe’s life—and her homes and the clothes that she made herself that I’d like to borrow—is just as impressive and absorbing as the museum show it’s based on (which is currently on exhibit in Winston-Salem, N.C.!).
Looking for excuses to schedule drinks at Oiji in NYC just to overeat honey butter chips (which can also be procured, in a different but still very delicious form, on the internet).
Swooning over a bike light.

Eavesdropping on extremely intimate conversations in couples therapy, via Esther Perel’s remarkably addictive—and educational!—podcast.
Devouring the unexpectedly suspenseful and fast-moving New People in a single morning and now wanting to read everything else by the crazily talented Danzy Senna, too.
Taking my love of roasted brussel sprouts to the next level by shredding them in the food processor before popping them in the oven—the results are almost hash-like, with lots of caramelized goodness.
Calling Flora Bar my new go-to for fancy date nights, outings to impress out-of-town guests, or just plain I-deserve-a-showstopping-meal moments. Way, way into this Spanish-meets-Japanese seafood spot on the lower level of The Met Breuer.
Adding yet another illustrated love letter to New York to the bookshelf, this one from longtime favorite, Roz Chast, she of all the best New Yorker cartoons. (Also adding her conversation with David Remnick at Books are Magic to the calendar.)
