Hey, look at what book showed up on Food 52’s Provisions [1] in time for Valentine’s Day! (Be warned: Once you click over there, you will be swallowed up in the beautiful things vortex [2].)
The battery-operated twirling spaghetti fork [3]: So ridiculous. So endlessly entertaining.
It’s been too long, Chicken Kiev [4]! This week, we reunite.
When elite parents dominate volunteering [5], it’s the children who lose.
Phoebe wrote a new post on her reading blog, Nerd Alert [6], about the book that sealed a really cool friendship. I think it might be her best post yet. {“Mom! You always say that.”}
Speaking of reading, the James Baldwin quote half-way through this Op-Ed [7] says it all.
A fun way [8] to enlist your kids in the lunch-packing grind.
These chocolate chip cookies [9] look divine (as does the new blog where they live).
Always go to the funeral [10].
Remember my neighbor [11] who left her job as a high-power corporate attorney to open a gluten-free bakery? She just opened up her second By the Way Bakery [12] on Broadway between 90th and 91st. New Yorkers, please stop by!
Marinara Worth Mastering [13]. Which just reminds me that sometimes the simpler the recipe, the more detail-oriented you need to be.
Oh my goodness, Catherine, those chicken wings [15]! Totally, 100% happening for Super Bowl Sunday.
Know anyone? Dinner: A Love Story is hiring [16]!
Have a good weekend.
