Me: we absolutely cannot bring in another male stray cat
Also me: I’m naming him Buster Keaton!
Also me: Maybe just a little bed in the basement to keep him out of the cold
A beautiful tuxedo kitty lounging on our deck Same cat rolling around in our basement and being adorable Same cat looking cozy on the sofa in the basement Same cat all curled up in the little bed I made him 🥹

Excuse me but I think you would enjoy this sandwich I made today.
Just the absolute sexiest caprese sandwich you’ve ever seen. 2 slices of rough-cut sourdough, bright red and yellow tomatoes, the softest burratta, thinly-sliced basil. EVOO and aged balsamic.

We interrupt your doomscrolling for an important gardening update (weighs less than the cat but only by a little)

GRC Amygdala was just awesome. So many of my favorite people in the world and so much great science.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the typeface game going on at my hotel? Absolutely off the charts. All the design here has kind of a late 70s coastal glam vibe and it is just incredible.
Little cards advertising the events at my hotel this week, like fried chicken night and Italian night. Everything is in a different retro 70s design A hotel pool with comfy lounges and these awesome giant circle-shaped sun shades. Lush tropical trees in the background.

The Poets Square book is so beautiful and good. Yes it is about unknowingly moving into a house that was home to 30 feral cats but it is also about class and capitalism and finding purpose and community when you least expect it but most need it. The Insta/Tiktok feed has been a favorite for years.

May 16th is international Chartreuse day! Your assignment for tonight is to drink a Last Word, Bijou, or Naked & Famous cocktail. If you’d like to know WHY today we celebrate one of the oldest and most special spirits in the world, here’s me rambling about it back in 2020.

The Isabella Stewart Gardner museum is one of the coolest places in Boston.
The lush courtyard of the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum A framed abstract gray painting hanging on a wall with ornate gold walls. Two chairs that you are not allowed to sit on are below. A closeup of one of the courtyard’s Juliet balconies. You can see the awesome pink and gray texture of the walls. An empty frame hanging on an ornate blue wall, marking a painting that was stolen. Three rose upholstered chairs are below.

Y’all if you’re ever in Baltimore, Little Donna’s was absolutely incredible. Everything we ate was so thoughtful and delicious and the restaurant itself feels like you’re in your grandma’s house in the best way possible
