Right here is where we are. ย Hopefully with a mug of warmth in hand, with a few moments to ourselves, with a peaceful sky above, mellow plans for the day, and if we’re very very lucky… the sound of the ocean surrounding us.
I hopped up and over to (just past) Pensacola Florida for the weekend. The pastels are unbelievable. The moon is huge. The heart is mellowing.
Wanna know what’s up on the Internet? Here it is (minus the politics, mostly):
โข ย The Opposite of a Muse: In the course of two decades, a medical secretary in Paris persuaded scores of renowned photographers to take her picture. These images bring me all sorts of desperate, courageous, vulnerable and strong and whole vibrations.
โข ย Your hearty, nostalgic weekend read:ย My Friend Sam.ย
โข ย Make sure you find the moon this weekend (or go night hunting… either/or).
โข ย These dang cell phones bring some life but might be the death of us. ย Unplugged Tourism is Boomingย because we want to set these things away… at least until November 8th or 9th, right?
โข ย Tourist season is on and poppin’ in New Orleans these days. If you can’t make it down to the swamp, consider this:ย Muffuletta Panzanella
โข Please trust me. Please make this. Please enjoy: Coconut Curry Hot Chocolate.
โข ย Creating a Pastry Chef From Scratch–ย ย but can we make some money, y’all? Dang.
โข ย To watch: The Value of Running Marathons in Prison.
โข ย Would you stick your arm in the hole? Trust Tattoos.
โข ย Thanks, Cindy, For Making Eye Contact Through The Bathroom Stall. ย And that thanks is more of a “thanks-for-nothin'” thanks.
โข ย Brunette. ย That just is what it is.
โข ย Let’s set the table and make it nice. ย These Bayberry Tapered Candles from Food52 will make for beautiful light.
We’re good. Let’s know that.

Hey you made me cry!
I enjoy these, don’t read them all, but you find so many things I hadn’t yet that are really good. That friendship essay though, who is cutting onions!
these “sunday” posts are some of my favorites! just wanted to let you know I appreciate the new slew of articles every week.
It means a lot to me that you’re here!
So many goodies on this list! And WOWZA…thanks so much for the mention. :)
yea, girl!
I just want to say how impressed I am with your recipes, but even more so by your Sunday posts. They are cosmically human! A wondrous spectrum of good and bad.
I can honestly say that the pay is what has kept me from ever going to culinary school and working in the industry. Or just pursuing any sort of apprenticeship. That article was incredibly illuminating and awesome.
Also, that panzanella looks utterly amazing.

I always look forward to your thoughtful Sunday post. Thanks!
You’re lucky that you still have Sam in your life. My sister was diagnosed with stomach cancer & was gone 41 days later. Tell Sam to keep up the good fight!
Thank you for the link to My Friend Sam. What a beautiful (and tear-inducing) tribute to friends that are truly soul mates.
The moon has been beautiful for the last few nights! Thank you for this peaceful respite from the news. Loved the links.
I hope everyone looked up last night.it was a hunters moon an it was out of this world .great to hear from you
I love your blog! Thank you so much for everything.
I noticed the moon the other night and was mad at myself for not having been out when it first broached the horizon. So glad to know the big show is tonight!
