If I canโt get to Tulum anytime soon, at least I can make Hartwoodโs skirt steakย with roasted plantains.ย (You can just tell from the photo that itโs going to be easy, right?)
The Knorkย reminds me:ย itโs a fine line between ridiculous and genius.
Rebecca Lee should be more famous than Pharrell. (No offense to Pharrell.) Last week, I heard her read the title story from her short story collection Bobcatย (all about a dinner party) and laughed my headย off.
Adam Lanzaโs father talks to Andrew Solomon.
Food Nerds Unite! Last week, I reviewed a novel for the Times.
I love Saraโs โpseudo mac and cheese situationโ here.
On Wednesday, we screened the first two episodes of Eyes on the Prizeย โ do you remember that epic 14-part series on the Civil Rights movement? The girls were as riveted as we were when we watched it back in the 80s. (Best for kids 10 and older โ and even then, keep your hand on the remote, there are a few disturbing moments.)
My ten-year-oldโs idea of the perfect birthday gift for her dad.
I only found out about this yesterday (thanks Momfilter!) but Iโm already obsessed with Artifact Uprising, the app that lets you turn your iphone photos into beautiful little albums in minutes.
Our friends are coming over for dinner tomorrow and one of them, Jim, requested Milk-braised Porkย for the main.ย How much do I love a guest who does the think-work for me?
From Andy:
This,ย because any new Truckers album is a reason to rejoice.
This, because itโs one of the best, most heartbreaking magazine stories ever written, and because it has extra poignancy this week, given recent events.
This, because we are unrepentant Pixar fans in this house, and Creativity Inc โ by the founder of the company, aka hero to our children โ takes you inside to tell you how they do what they do.
This, because it sounds absurdly good and, more important, practically fits into your pocket, allowing you to cook or entertain while SHREDDING HEAVILY, no matter where you are.
This, because Abby has decided white cleats are back, and I respect that.
This, because because.
Have a great weekend.

Just got my first book from Artifact Uprising this week (cover shot can be seen in my IG feed), filled with pics of the random hearts weโve found. So easy to pull together and did it right from my phone.
I agreeโฆ.. because because. Wow.
Roald Dahlโs father crafted a โknorkโ for himself after losing an arm in an accident. โBoyโ was always my favorite book of his!
Just read the autism article. What a great read. Thanks for sharing it.
Oh my goodness: I have been sitting here for an hour and a half, reading your links. So many wonderful and moving things to read I wouldnโt have found otherwise: thank you.
You really should get to Tulum soon (for a variety of reasons, of course!) because I can vouch for Hartwood โ that place is amazing! I had the fresh catch of the day and, while it did break the bank, it was so delicious! I had seen the restaurant featured in NYT and made a point of going on our last trip there 2 years ago. Great, Iโm getting hungry and nostalgic now!
