Got a close friend's wedding coming up. Half of the party is Moroccan, and half the party is from the Midwest. I don't envy him in this moment.

I actually took my 1-yr-old on this train, a new generation NightJet from Austrian railway ÖBB. While I would never recommend traveling with an infant (that way madness lies) it was actually pretty cozy. He slept better than we did! #trains

Now you can read it in a book alongside some of the best food writing from 2023, which I'm sure will also trigger all you weirdos. Order it here: www.harpercollins.com/products/bes...
