What are you up to this weekend? This week, I finished The Sopranos (wow, that last episode!) and need my James Gandolfini fix, so Freddie and I might watch Enough Said. Have you seen it? Hope you have a good weekend — stay safe — and here are a few links from around the web…
Love this pink and green kitchen.
A big bowl of salted chocolate pudding.
Monday is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Trump’s Inauguration Day. “What better day for this to occur than the King holiday because that means now people get to see this major contrast,” said Bernice A. King, CEO of The King Center. (This whole article is worth reading.)
Queer Eye’s Jeremiah Brent on doing house makeovers in three days. “It’s why I look like I’m 98 years old the whole season. I did not sleep.” (NYMag)
The 40 most anticipated TV shows of 2025. (Mo! The White Lotus! The Bear!)
My all-time favorite sweater is on sale.
Thinking of meat as a condiment.
John Early is so hilarious, even just looking at his face makes me laugh.
13 fun dates (that aren’t dinner), including reading hangs, cemetery walks, and a surprising second date that crushed it. (Big Salad)
Plus, three reader commments…
Says Emily O. on do you have a house speciality: “My very Italian mother keeps hundreds of meatballs frozen at all times (‘If I drop dead, I want people to eat good food at my funeral,’ haha). I can’t tell you how many spontaneous meals have been consumed and how many people she’s encouraged me to invite. She said if she ever opened a restaurant it would be called ‘What’s One more!’ In my early twenties, I moved to a new city and called home to chat, when my mom casually told me that a group of my friends had stopped by her house after the bar for late-night meatball sandwiches.”
Says Jo on what holiday would you invent: “When my son was five, he decided to declare May 1st our anniversary. It’s not his birthday, just a day he selected at random, but he has kept it going for three years now and hasn’t forgotten! It’s a special day for him and me — we do something fun just the two of us, and then exchange small gifts. He actually brought it up last night as we were winding down for bed: ‘Mom! Our anniversary is coming up!’”
Says Julie on 10 readers share their winter outfits, “Why is it so comforting to read detailed descriptions of where people are, how they keep warm, how they add flair to their lives? I love it. Idea for a monthly roundup post: ‘What are you humans wearing this week, and what juicy town or city gossip do you have?’”
