Fish She Is Very Small

Too good not to share: I found this in my iPhoto today. Some friends and I bought, and ate, these petits poissons in Montréal a couple of years ago. They were very small!


How To Cook (and Dress) A Wolf

These are the busiest weeks of the year, these couple before Christmas. I sort of like it. On Sunday, A— and I threw a clothing swap at our place. We had a dozen ladies over.

Rhapsody in Gray

“Conducive to study” is what we’d have called a day like this back at Reed: tiny, pricking raindrops falling from the sky like cold needles, the whole outside a blanket of dampness and gray.

Fall & Winter Budget Recipes, Volume II: Baked Apples.

Last Sunday around 9 at night I started jonesing for something sweet. There were two Cortland apples on the shelf. I remembered that during graduate school, I went through a phase where I used to eat baked apples several times a week. I would make them at the very end of my day, which was [...]
