erica’s things

• Cooking with algae oil—algae oil!
   

• Requesting Demanding a profile of my favorite opera singer (<< words I never thought I’d type): the memorably named Ryan Speedo Green.
   

• Creating a will over a glass of wine.
   

• Knowing high design when I see it.
   

• Trying to entice you to read a restaurant review (slash bit of broader cultural criticism) with one line: “It felt as if I’d gone to an eccentric billionaire’s party for which he’d painstakingly recreated his last birthday from the summer before his parents’ divorce.”

claire’s things

• Getting meds for a yeast infection so quickly and easily you’d think I was a dude with ED!
   

• Entering whatever stage of parenthood is indicated by tearing up at an interview with Sandra Boynton.
   

• Appreciating the simple but highly functional event pages from Luma.
   

• Petitioning Mini Rodini to give us the violas in king size.
   

• Hoping this (free!) subscription will kickstart my resolution to teach Cam that Judaism is more than just eight nights of presents.
