\"Ella<\/p>\n

What are you up to this weekend? Anton, his friend, and I are on a little trip, and I\u2019m excited to share photos on Monday. We have played 1,000 games of ping pong. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web\u2026<\/p>\n

The Soup Strategy for making friends<\/a>. \u201cMy husband jokes that I would pick up a dinner guest on my way home from the subway were it not for him,\u201d says Pilar Guzm\u00e1n. (Big Salad gift link; you can subscribe here<\/a>, if you\u2019d like)<\/p>\n

Bookmarking Jenny\u2019s turkey chili recipe<\/a> for winter evenings.<\/p>\n

Anton and I are reading The Outsiders<\/a>, and we\u2019re both really enjoying it.<\/p>\n

You can volunteer to hold NICU infants<\/a>. \u201cOn that day, I rocked him for three hours. My left shoulder ached, my arm went numb, but I would not let go, for he and I had work to do, trust to build.\u201d (NYT gift link)<\/p>\n

Pepper<\/a> \u2014 the bra brand for small chests \u2014\u00a0just launched swim! I ordered this one-piece<\/a> to try.<\/p>\n

\u201c46 thoughts I had while watching the first episode of The Baldwins<\/a>.\u201d (Vogue)<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been wearing this shirt<\/a> with a denim skirt on repeat.<\/p>\n

Excited to pack this<\/a> for every trip this year.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh is opening their first women\u2019s sports bar called Title 9<\/a>, and it looks like such a fun place to hang. \u201cIt\u2019s not a women\u2019s bar, it\u2019s a sports bar playing women\u2019s sports.\u201d<\/p>\n

Made me laugh<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On February 28th, join the 24-hour economic blackout<\/a> to stand up to Trump. Don\u2019t buy anything that day, except necessities.<\/p>\n

Finally, Bess Kalb\u2019s beautiful tribute to Kfir and Ariel Bibas<\/a>. May their memory be a blessing. xoxo<\/p>\n

Plus, two reader comments:<\/p>\n

Says Emmy Rae on 12 questions for a grief therapist<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m a nurse and patients often tell me about people they\u2019ve lost. I always ask \u2018where do you go\/what do you do that makes you feel close to them?\u2019 and if it\u2019s something simple like \u2018the kitchen,\u2019 I tell them I\u2019ll think of their person next time I\u2019m in the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Ashley Dargai on my best friend\u2019s mom\u2019s paprikash<\/a>: \u201cMy husband is from Hungary and grew up eating his mom\u2019s paprikash. When we were first married, we lived in Arkansas and subsisted on Kraft mac n\u2019 cheese and ramen to get by. One night, I pulled out a Hungarian cookbook and made paprikash for the first time to surprise him. He was so touched, even though it wasn\u2019t great. When he took the first bite, he closed his eyes and said, \u2018It tastes like home.\u2019 Years later, we now have kids and visit Hungary every year to see his family. I read somewhere that eating food from your culture is like learning your identity one taste at a time. Now when we make Hungarian food here in the U.S., we tell our kids, \u2018You\u2019re remembering home tonight!\u2019 We have a big mason jar of Hungarian paprika in our spice cabinet, and my daughter calls it the \u2018home jar.’\u201d<\/p>\n
