A Thing or Two We’re Doing Besides Getting Fleeced

You know what your holiday travel could use? A podcast conversation about questionable winter boots and statement flies (like, on pants), a deep-dive into salads that come from vending machines and salads nibbled on by Frances McDormand. Happy everything, team! (Psst, Secret Menu gift subscriptions here.)

erica’s things

• Filing this doc series under “good clean family fun.” (I nearly cried a few times! I did not see it coming!)
  

• Setting my sights on a piece-y fleece-y.
   

• Dusting off my boots for when this cool, queer line-dancing party comes to NYC (please??). Until then, I’m jealous, Oakland and L.A.
   

• Sizing up a DIY project: Yes, my (extremely limited) artistic talents seem perfectly suited to making scrap fabric bowls.
   

• Wrapping my little brain around expiration dates. At last.

claire’s things

• Wondering which boring piece of furniture needs these in its life.
   

• Packaging up our holiday cookie handouts in these grocery-store finds.
   

• Feeling a mix of relief and excitement now that Amy Smilovic’s signature brand of IG Stories–style advice has taken the form of something more permanent.
   

• Offering up an idea in case anybody needs a last-minute gift to give to me.
