Hi Hi!
We had the thrill of a dinner party with our caring, smart, funny and fun friends. What happens when we get together? Ideas fly around the room like bonfire sparks. What to cook, what to watch, read, eat, where to visit, what’s funny! This time we assigned a secretary to keep track of it all, because, well, we are of a certain age and need help remembering.
Yes, a party without a cake is just a meeting. Our party had the cake and the secretary! You may want to nominate a secretary at your next fête!
Our partial list:
Music of Noga Erez
Brit box shows: LUDWIG, and OUTRAGIOUS
Chelsea Handler on Mike Birbiglia’s podcast, Working It Out… (Which led to the book below, because of her Woody Allen burn!)
MONSTERS, by Claire Dederer
THE BEAR PLAYLIST minus metalhead music!
PERNILLE, a Norwegian Dramedy on Netflix
Ezra Klein, particularly this.
Upside down cake! This is from July 1993, Bon Appétit Magazine. Our wonderful cake baking friend says any stone fruit will shine and in the fall, use apples!
If you missed the last few jewels… no fear! Here they are: cookies. melon salad. novel. dance. poem. And, to stay in the loop:
Tell your people you love them, and take care of your skin!
I’ve almost finished with Pernille and I’ve loved it.
