I had a particularly rough Thanksgiving Day this year and processed some of that stress by making a cranberry sauce with actual fresh cranberries, a thing that is incredibly easy to make and my fave holiday food by a significant margin. I was only making it for myself so I used slightly less than half of the sugar called for in whatever recipe I found online (I wanna say it was a variation on the NYT âred wine cranberry sauceâ but I only used a tiny bit of wine and no cinnamon?) THEN at the end of the day I just put a bit of it on top of some pistachio ben and jerryâs I had leftover. It is so so good and Iâve made it twice again since then. I would also suggest fucking around with a bit of cardamom or maybe black sesame seeds?

Knowing I can simply waltz into a dry cleanerâs with alteration services near me and get some pants taken in at the waist emboldens me to make all sorts of questionable thrift purchases. But yet, it pays off every time. I think most people under 40 find it oddly intimidating to just go do this because theyâre not sure how much it might cost? Or because itâs weirdly intimate to talk to a stranger about how you want your clothes fit on your body? But verily I tell youâit is usually costs less than $20-30, and anyone doing that job professionally has seen all sorts of weird vanity in action and absolutely doesnât care.

A therevox is a recently-invented musical instrument I was first introduced to by my friend Ross Collier. I needed something for a song that would function sort of like a pedal steel but was also definitely not a pedal steel. Theyâre apparently quite rare and seem hard to play but unparalleled in creating swoopy, floaty textures that sound unplaceable but yet not alien.

I did this with a bunch of lyrics at some point when writing my last record and it was actually super productive and also very fun. I would especially recommend it as an aid in learning or creating something, as a therapy pre-game activity, or of course proving a point/crafting a theory. Anything you wanna wrap your head around can be effectively tackled with a very cheap set of color coded push pins.
