Struggling to explain why drinking Kate Moss’s tea while watching The Holiday just feels like The Right Thing to Do.
Whipping up the easiest (and oddly pretty?) white bean soup.
Redirecting my endless scroll energy.
Fighting the temptation to start a collection of salt and pepper shakers.
Kicking myself for not pointing you toward the National Mustard Museum—pride of Middleton, Wisconsin?!—for your holiday needs sooner. Thankfully, there’s no wrong time for a mystery mustard box.

Getting at least one text every year at exactly this time asking what the best beanie is. The answer is always the same.
Road-testing my TV-in-the-bedroom theory; avoiding the no-going-back commitment of a wall-mount with a sleek stand. (Not not related.)
Inviting all my fellow (musical) cover junkies to delight in Tori Amos doing Kendrick Lamar.
Suggesting that when you’ve run out of ideas…maybe mortadella soap is the answer?
