Recipe: Bi-Rite's Heirloom Bean Salad w/Roasted... →
Oh yes. I will be making this immediately(ish). I found this while searching for the recipe for Bi-Rite’s Moroccan Cous Cous Salad, which is still a delicious mystery. Do you have that recipe? Send it to me and I’ll make you a mixtape…or some Moroccan Cous Cous Salad. Or a Moroccan cous cous salad THEMED mix tape. Your call.

greek orzo salad
I’ve been craving a summer staple from back home: pasta salad. Not the elbow macaroni/mayonaise/sad carrot sliver kind, but the slippery tri color corkscrew noodles dressed in cold balsamic dressing, studded with hard squares of salty cheese and chunks of vegetables. It tastes like hot weather. I’m not sure it exists outside of obscenely humid Baltimore BBQs, the kind where you mill...

More Like a Pause,” a recent article in the New York Times, new mom and consulting firm partner Carmen, recalled sending the quote above as an email while she was in the delivery room, remarking “That…was a fun email to send.” I admire Carmen: her dedication to her job, her strong work ethic, the humor and pleasure she found in sending...

leave me alone, or "today in street harassment"
I’ve had a really crappy day. I don’t really want to go into it, and it’s not important why it was crappy. But it was. And I feel terrible. And so, I decided to go do one of my favorite things: I took a walk. There are a lot of young people on my block who work for nonprofits, collecting signatures and donations on my street. I’m sympathetic, I’ve done that kind of...
