tiny newsletter #50: getting closer to touching my toes

hi friends,

i just got back from 21 hrs in wisconsin for a work trip and can't stop laughing at this note i left myself. am i losing my mind or is this normal living alone behavior?

before wisconsin, this week i…

📺 watched turn every page. fotn danielle bennett and i went to see this doc about the 50 year relationship btwn political writer robert caro and his editor robert gottleib. i left the theater charmed by these two characters and excited to read their original collab, the power broker. review to come!

🍅 made polenta. it's my mom's go-to for a quick winter meal. recipe: heat olive oil in a large pan, cut a log of polenta into bite sized pieces, and saute 3-5 mins. add a jar of rao's vodka sauce, cover, and simmer 5-10 mins til the polenta softens. throw in any veg/protein you have and combine. a warm hug in a bowl, truly.

🌸 got japanese flower soap. ok, have you seen this tiktok about the foaming soap from japan that comes out of its dispenser in a flower shape? i watched it months ago and forgot about it, but saw the soap at sunrise mart and couldn’t resist. i smile every time i use it – it rly works!!
