It's time for a grab bag featuring a *measured* celebrity fan account, a cooking north star, our POV on holiday cards, and a grand Notes App follow-up.

Gained some wisdom from @OlsenOracle, a perfect fan account (that is maybe even Olsen approved???).

We're having a Marcella Hazan moment, thanks to, as Food & Wine put it her "radical simplicity." Some recipes we've been cooking: THE tomato, onion, and butter sauce, grilled fish romagna style, pesto, rice and smothered cabbage soup, and chimney sweep's gelato.

Speaking of cooking, we must discuss this Julia Child gas stove story by Rebecca Leber for Vox, which pairs well with "How the Fossil Fuel Industry Convinced Americans to Love Gas Stoves," which she wrote for Mother Jones.

Your Notes Apping!! See: this packing-list revelation from@rileejsmith (um, the template). We also love this TikTok from @kiramackenz.

What weird things are you up to in the Notes App? Let us know at 833-632-5463, [email protected], @athingortwohq, or in our Geneva!
