My girlfriend Laura and I took a day trip to Great Barrington over the weekend. We went to GB primarily so we’d have 40 minutes each way of uninterrupted car time to talk. When it’s too cold to take a walk, I highly recommend a long drive with a friend for catching up. We popped into
I’ve been making this Ukrainian elixir forever - hadn’t seen Elise’s recipe before but it looks good. For you (or any readers) who may be interested in a vegetarian alternative, I don’t think you could do much better than Anya von Bremzen’s mom Larissa‘s version. I’ve been making it for over 30 (!) years and it’s yet to let me down. Even though I’m not vegetarian, it comes together so quickly and tastes so good, it tends to be my default borshch. https://www.splendidtable.org/story/2023/08/04/my-moms-superquick-vegetarian-borsch
My initial reaction to reading "Borscht!" was hoping it was the title of a new Off-Broadway musical. I was not, however, disappointed knowing it's truly about the soup.
I wish I could take a 40 minute car ride with you so we could discuss how good the finale of Fargo was! I’m going to make Fargo Biscuits to cheer up my beloved, who is bereft that the season has ended. Thank you, always, for all the goodness 💗

Nothing to See Here is one of my favorites!! Thanks for sharing Scout... I'm going to stop by next time I'm en route home to CT. xo
Please have Chad forward any extra fried chicken 🍗 to me, Colu! 😉
I loved Nothing to See Here!! So weird, so wonderful. Audra and I had a bookstore date yesterday, another very good way to catch up with friends.

Wow this recipe looks fabulous, I bet the cabbage makes for such a nice texture. 😍
Borscht, biscuits, and a good book sounds like the perfect recipe for these dreary, wet winter days. So happy you're loving the book, too!!! X
