Just Good Shit: 01.05.20

Hi! Here’s what I was up to this week…

Reading

I read A Girl Returned, which was…fine. It’s a very quick read (just 160 pages) and it’s well written, but I found the overall subject matter kind of a bummer. It’s a good one to get from the library, I think.

Also:

Australia Is Committing Climate Suicide, The New York Times.
If you’re looking for ways to help, Fire Relief Fund for First Nations Communities and WIRES are two organizations that I donated to.

My Heart Broke. Now What?, ¡Hola Papi!.
I loved this.

The Hunt for Mexico’s Heirloom Beans, The New Yorker.

My favorite posts of the decade, Ask a Manager.

We Learned to Write the Way We Talk, The New York Times.

Embrace the Lasagna, Grub Street.

Eating

On Friday, my gf made Alison Roman’s new NYT recipe, Spicy White Bean Stew With Broccoli Rabe, and it’s good! I’m actually going to make it again tonight. I’m also back on my chickpea pasta bullshit.

NYC

I saw Jacqueline Novak’s excellent Get on Your Knees last night, which I highly, highly recommend. (It’s running through January 26.) Afterward, we had a drink at Cubbyhole, and then went to Don Angie and had the delicious lasagna for two. It was a great cozy date night, and I’m still thinking about how smart and funny the show was.

Have a great Sunday! ✨
