Are you listening to Who? Weekly? And their extra-special Patreon content? Get on that.

Our dinnertime playlists right now: Sam Cooke Radio + Legendary Women of Country.

Celery! Erica's in. Claire's not. Maybe try this salad with dates and parm, this one with apples and gorgonzola, or the braised recipe from Salad for President and decide for yourself?

The ol' kale-stem shock and awe.

PSA: We now have an Amazon Storefront and a Bookshop.org page if you're looking to dig up some of our recs.

Relevant to square-toe shoes: The Witches the book and also the movie, the slingbacks that Aeyde is serving up, and a lot of what Intentionally Blank has on offer.

Alex enthusiastically endorses Summer House. Maybe watch while drinking an espresso martini?
