Greetings from Copenhagen!
If movie directors made food films. Brilliant.
The comfort of tea rituals. I particularly love the description of office tea habits. Totally true!
Ice cream sodas. Personally, a cream soda float from Wimpy (particularly in the middle of a road trip) will always have my heart.
Remembering a friend with a coordinated dance in a pool.
Glorious old collections of wallpaper. (Thanks Jo for finding this!)
Aubergines, tomatoes, ricotta. Really the best things for a summer dinner. Or, this zucchini pasta.
Trends in grocery shopping and meal-making.
I do so love a rice krispie square.
Artisan food products, ‘craft culture‘, and race. You need to read this.
New book on Andalucia, from Elisabeth Luard.
With the new biography, there is a lot of writing about Patience Gray at the moment. (I picked up the TLS in the airport on Sunday and so read this too. You can read it online only if you’ve got a subscription.)
On eclipses.
It is no longer just about apple cider. And why you should add water to your whisky.
Last week I finished The Last Painting of Sarah de Vos. My sister and I read it almost simultaneously, and so shared thoughts about it on Saturday. We both enjoyed the story and the characters, but did think there would be more mystery and searching involved. I did wolf it down though, and particularly loved the character of Marty de Groot as an old man.
Have a good week! x
