Sea Fever
It was very very very windy. Very. I really love wind; there’s something about being buffeted by it that I find very calming, in a sensory kind of way. I wasn’t on a tall ship that day, but if I were — bliss. This was pretty good too. Sea Fever BY JOHN MASEFIELD I must
I MISS TRAVEL
Oh, I MISS TRAVEL. It is not important in the grand scheme of things (stay home, stay safe, flatten the curve!), but these photos sting a little right now. San Francisco, taking the ferry to Sausalito to visit Alex Gurevich‘s family.
Clearing Out Photos
I was clearing out my phone photos, and realized that I never posted these photos, which I’d hoped to use to advertise upcoming book launch events at these Bay Area stores, sigh.

Planning 2020 with a big wall calendar
Jed was visiting this weekend, just a quick few days. Not long enough, but we’ll take what we can get. The scheduling gets a little complex, and we rarely can manage as much time as we’d like. We’re trying something new which may help — I just got this big wall calendar, so that we can

Feast: officially supporting SAMBAL Sri Lanka
As we’re getting ready to more formally launch Feast, I’m trying to think through what I want the cookbook to do in the world. One thing I’d like to do is give back concretely in some way. I thought about directing a percentage of profits to Ajit George‘s wonderful Shanti Bhavan Children’s Project, but I think that’s

Last looks, Seattle. Lovely conference.
Last looks, Seattle. Lovely conference, even if I did get sick with the travel. I should’ve gotten a hot toddy instead of an Irish coffee. Oh well. No regrets. 🙂
