◌ This, on the invention of Spanx, is brilliant. “I just called them.” Tenacity. (Via Cup of Jo).
◌ I found Michael Ruhlman’s words on adapting for cooking for one (post his marriage breaking down) brave.
◌ 36 hours in Edinburgh, one of my favourite cities ever.
◌ 19 recipes for crispy, scraggly fritters. Yum.
◌ Currently reading this (English title: Second-Hand Time). It’s very long — 700+ pages — but engrossing.
◌ Two ‘real crime’ podcasts: Untold is an absolutely brilliantly done story of one of the most horrific inciences of corruption in British history. Essential listening. Bowraville . I sped through both of them.
◌ Beautiful, especially the last paragraph: “When you leave the room, do not yell at the medical student who has a question. When you get home, do not yell at your husband. If he left his socks on the floor again today, it is all right.” (Via Cup of Jo).
◌ The crappy dinner party. It’s been making the rounds, but I like it.
◌ 20 of Bruce Springsteen’s favourite books. His new autobiography is definitely on my list!
◌ Food for thought: “the tyranny of makeup”
