I was so disappointed in the Shteyngart book. I enjoyed Super Sad True Love Story and Absurdistan, and had looked forward to reading it when it came out. So disappointing. Happy for your glimmers, though!
The gorge sounds divine and your recipes... huzzah! You nailed it on the Shteyngart ending feeling rushed and slightly implausible. Still, I love him for trying, and I was moved by the loss he portrayed. Would that we could all teach one three month class and have the other nine for writing... a good gig, no doubt :)
This was a wonderful read. We were delighted to see that you’re doing so well and eating so well too!
I have avoided the need for doomscrolling food I avoid doomscrolling & try to stick to joy scrolling things like weird stuff in Philadelphia, our new home! Nonetheless I favor ruffles (as in have ridges)
Popcorn is a great snack idea. Some people love it with nutritional yeast - I’ve had that a few times and it’s good. In his book, Grains for Every Season, Joshua McFadden offers some popcorn suggestions. Maybe I’ll share these in an upcoming post. Thanks for the inspiration!
So enjoyed this post and happy to be connected. The subtitle is what drew me. And held me.
Aww, thanks. Happy to be connected to you too “People who like food are the best people,”
Julia quote?
Yup, though I may have butchered it.
You nailed it. 🥂

Nice! We surely ate well. And those photos!
I was not aware of generation Jones, but it is so appropriate that I belong! Cuing up the Bombay chili and coriander chicken!
What a lovely trip. That paella looks yummy.
So nice to finally meet you!
You too!
THAT PAELLA!!!
Dot's Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Sticks are sweet, salty, cinnamon-y, and crunchy. They take the edge off doomscrolling.
Hmmmm. Good to know :)

Ruffles!!!
Indeed! If there’s one thing a man needs, it’s a good salty snack.
What a lovely time at the Gorge! I will try your recipes--I need inspiration.
My go-to doom scrolling food? Popcorn with tons of butter and salt, maybe? something easy and fast and not uber-healthy.

Yummy. Please do!! It’s a whole grain, so occasionally it’s part of my dinner.
You write so beautifully! Thanks for the stories and recommendations, I need some inspiration for getting out of my cooking rut
Aww thank you! It was great to meet you!
Terrific photos. Thanks for glimmers and the definition!
