If you like castles, Scotland, history, witches, stone circles and Christmas done medieval-style, you might like THE MERMAID AND THE BEAR. There’s also a love story.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

January: snow, swans and being on the radio - Ailish Sinclair

I love this cookbook so much. Ross got it a few years ago and I appreciate how you can find almost ANY cooking technique within its pages. I figured Kenji had a great hard boiled egg technique in here. I tried it out and they truly were the BEST hard boiled eggs I’ve ever had.
