What are you up to this weekend? Now that I\u2019m done with The Sopranos<\/a>, I\u2019ve gotten back into reading at bedtime. My current book is Rental House<\/a> by Weike Wang, and her writing is hilarious, insightful, and spare in a way that propels you forward. What are you reading\/watching\/eating right now? Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n Wow, this Valentine\u2019s shop<\/a> is gorgeous \u2014 especially this ring<\/a>.<\/p>\n This colorful apartment in Germany<\/a> is a book lover\u2019s dream. (Big Salad)<\/p>\n What it feels like to audition for SNL<\/a>.<\/p>\n Eating the \u2018family meal\u2019 at Angie Mar\u2019s restaurant<\/a>. \u201cRestaurants are staffed, by and large, with immigrants. Some are legal; some are undocumented\u2026 Even if we as diners don\u2019t often get to sit at the table during family meal, we\u2019re part of that family, too. And we owe it to our brothers and sisters to protect them however we can in this year and the next and the one after that too.\u201d Loved this essay, definitely worth reading.<\/p>\n Chilling<\/a>. <\/p>\n A list of immigrant rights<\/a> to share with family, friends, and neighbors.<\/p>\n How cozy is this Cornish cottage<\/a>?<\/p>\n Netflix is making a Little House on the Prairie reboot<\/a>.<\/p>\n A cottage-cheese taste test<\/a>. (Cottage cheese and cantaloupe is my trusty diner order.)<\/p>\n Fyi, it\u2019s cool now to wear tights with open-toed shoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n Remember my friend Abbey Nova<\/a> of garden makeover fame<\/a>? She just launched a newsletter<\/a>. One of her first finds was this print<\/a>, which I immediately ordered for my sister\u2019s birthday, haha.<\/p>\n Busted<\/a>.<\/p>\n Finally, three reader comments:<\/p>\n Says Emily O. on how to make a charm bracelet<\/a>: \u201cMy youngest recently shared with family that they are nonbinary. My mom later pulled them aside and said, \u2018When Emily was your age, she wanted to go only by \u2018Em\u2019 so I bought her this \u2018M\u2019 charm. Now it\u2019s yours, as a reminder that we will always call the people we love exactly what they want to be called.’\u201d<\/p>\n Says Anna on four fun things<\/a>: \u201cI am re-listening to The Book of Delights<\/a> audiobook by Ross Gay, and it\u2019s getting me through the winter. After each chapter, I always notice random delights. Last weekend, I was at a state park getting ready to hike, when I saw a woman saddling her horse. The horse turned its head her way, and she kissed it softly on the nose, like you would a dog or kitty. Reassuring, warm, a true delight!\u201d<\/p>\n
