Day 7 of cold: woke up after much coughing in the night, feeling reasonably rested nonetheless (due to the NyQuil that kept dragging me back under). Only felt mildly terrible on waking, which is a great improvement from the utterly horrible waking of two days ago. Cold, despite wearing thick sweats. Have managed to get […]

I’m reading through The Best American Food Writing 2019, edited by Samin Nosrat, whom you know I adore. So far, it’s not quite what I expected. Five pieces in, we have: – a little funny piece about how we describe food, v. cute: “Imagine the agony of a ghost who is too nice to haunt
Anand makes the lasagne. (I feel like that could be the title of a book.)

Eep, I just counted on Wikipedia, and Feast takes me to 17 books. If you add in the 3 literary magazines, that makes 20 book-length-plus publications. I mean, it’s not Asimov levels, but not bad, Mary Anne. I even still like them all, at least somewhat. 🙂 #serendibwriting

Hey, folks. With Stephanie‘s help, I’ve spent a while updating the Feast page on the Serendib Kitchen site. If you feel like glancing at it and letting me know if you see any issues, that’d be great. It was a big block of text before; I’m hoping that it’s now more easily accessible and appealing! I’ve
