10 Things We're Doing Besides Still Learning How to Do a Vacation

erica’s things
Consuming a a weirdly cathartic 24 minutes of TV (that you don’t have to have ever watched The Mindy Project to appreciate).
Taking the pressure off of having people over with this simple conceit that feels so duh but yet: the crappy dinner party.
Marveling at these basketball courts-turned-works of art. GO, PROJECT BACKBOARD!
Using end-of-season cherry tomatoes one of the best way I know how: raw, in this surprisingly flavorful pasta.
Canoeing and nature-walking my way through an idyllic Midwestern weekend at this glorious place.
claire’s things
Getting so much more than just a profile out of this A+ story about Matt Maxey, who’s making sure deaf and hard-of-hearing concertgoers can enjoy Chance the Rapper with zero problems. (Sorry, had to.)
Feeling very in-the-know about what the kids (okay, and adults) are up to these days thanks to the extremely good, equal parts useful and delightful Cassandra Daily Newsletter.
Scooping up craspedia (aka billy balls) from the farmers’ market whenever I can. They are cute, sure, but their real talent is looking so fresh and so clean long after they’ve died.
Crossing my fingers I never get tired of these things—they’re delicious cold or warmed in the microwave, and there is no easier solution for an at-your-desk lunch.
Managing to get a truly solid night’s sleep in the back of a van because I happened to be wrapped in the world’s most perfect sleeping bag. I’d use it in bed at home if I thought my husband would let me.

Fist-pumping as the pics of all my friends wearing this thing start to roll in—how does it look so good on everyone?!
