LATELY

National and international news has been weighing heavily on my mind these days. I find myself receding into quiet domestic pleasures alone. Feels like winter.

Lately:

- making ox tail soup

- spending a few hours at the library, reading things old and new (recently: Wild Fruits, Capital in the Twenty First Century, Paris Review interview with Mark Strand)

- roasted dandelion tea in the morning and before bed

- enjoying views that don't belong to me

- baking cakes to bring to friends (recently: Floriole's lemon olive oil cake and this lime yogurt cake with blackberry sauce)

- exploring the moon
