Until I put all the images together, I had no idea that we’d eaten so much pizza and drank so many daiquiris over the summer, but I suppose that means we enjoyed our time. I also broke a flute glass, so we’ve been drinking bubbles from coupes, which provides such a wonderful sense of occasion… It has brought me back to my childhood, when at my grandparents’ house, I always requested to drink from what I called my “princess glass.” I continue to chase the feeling of the princess glass, and it’s certainly why I’m such an unrepentant martini drinker (under the right conditions, which a tropical summer dive bar is decidedly not).
Reminders
Tomorrow, Saturday September 13, I’ll be in conversation with Miyoko Schinner at the Baltimore Book Festival. On Thursday, September 25, I’ll be at Seven Acre Dairy in Paoli, Wisconsin, for a dinner celebrating their local produce in vegan Puerto Rican dishes—it’s nearly sold out! On Saturday, October 11, I’ll be in conversation with Soleil Ho in Portland, Oregon, for Roux.
On Tuesday, September 16, at 11 a.m. EST, I’ll be giving The Self-Edit Workshop. If you can’t make it live, you’ll receive all the materials and the recording after the fact. Book an editorial consultation to talk about newsletter strategy, publishing, or go over a piece of work—I’m ruthless but helpful. There’s availability starting in October.
And so, let’s go over what’s been on my plate and in my glass...
