The best advice I received about cardamom buns is eat them warm. Thank you, @cathybarrow.bsky.social, and @kingarthurbaking.bsky.social for a perfect recipe.

On World Mental Health Day here are a few things that help me.

Time in nature. A low, bright sun in an azure blue sky. Looking across a Fall soyabean field.

My mom.

Imagine a person you love a lot.

Good food always and forever. Kale and walnit pesto tossed with spaghetti.

You are recovering from an intense work period. Making good recipes is rigorous work. Your commitment is obvious. I hope there is quality down time. Accept praise.

“I am one of the ranchers that are bankrupted out of the cattle business,” said Dr. Kathryn Bedell, a Colorado rancher of 27 years. "There’s no forage for the cattle, there’s no water to grow feed, and it’s too hot and dry to keep them any longer. So, I’m done."

Anand is the best (and I'm doing an event with him at, yes, @cityartssf.bsky.social Thursday, for his new book Man in the Mirror). Couldn't agree more that cities are refuges or places of last resort for people kicked out of rural/suburban/pseudo-idyllic America.

I'm eating apples from a friend's tree related to the Macoun apple — crisp, juicy, and tart sweet. I'm using them in a chutney with green tomatoes this weekend. Apples are good.

It is wild what people want from restaurants. It all comes down to the food and a sense of belonging for me.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekNForNeon Lights in Montréal, where they do their best to illuminate winter darkness.

5 columns with patterns that feel slightly botanical, each lit in pink or blue or green. The lighting is internal and the decorations are cut out so they also cast lovely patterns on the sidewalk.

1/There remains substantial uncertainty around the reported incident in Russia. A worker from BSL-3 lab tragically died with severe pneumonia; extensive infection-control measures appear to be implemented, but there is no confirmation of plague or another pathogen.
