ended up doing a lot of fun random research related to this (which i loved)

Firstly, Nina Simone is the Queen of Covers: • Do what you gotta do - Nina Simone (researching for this question I just found out here isn’t the original and that’s insane. That’s actually insane. Jimmy Webb original? Flop.) • Stars (Live Vine St. Bar & Grill/1987) - Nina Simone • Here comes the sun - Nina Simone  • The closer I get to you - Beyoncé, Luther Vandross • How can you mend a broken heart - Al green  • Can’t take my eyes off of you - Lauryn Hill • Killing me softly - Lauryn hill, Fugees  • Killing me softly - Roberta Flack (a cover fr?!) • After you - Roberta Flack (gagged again) • Will you still love me tomorrow - Carole King • Life on mars - Aurora (girls hbo soundtrack) • Iron man - The Cardigans • Sabbath Bloody Sunday - The Cardigans • The first time I ever saw your face - the temptations  • Sarah Smile - Boys II Men • Moon River - Frank Ocean • Blue velvet - Lana Del Rey • Doin time - Lana Del Rey • Across the universe - Fiona Apple

Delve into older music!!!

We are so lucky to have such a wealth of music at our fingertips. The trial and error of working out what you like is so satisfying- once you find a song you like, you’ll find an album of theirs you love, a duet they’ve done with another artist who is now your new favourite, and so on. Let your music taste snowball! old soul is my favourite, here are some recs: Let’s Say Goodbye Tomorrow - Jimmy Ruffin It’s All Right - Sam Cooke Misty Blue - Dorothy Moore Security - Otis Redding Dearest Darling - Etta James There is so much to explore!

Ridgewood chocolate

This is specifically for NYC people. In Ridgewood Queens there is a hole in the wall high quality chocolate shop. It’s run by an eccentric and amazing man named Constantine and his wife. He will talk your ear off for a half an hour about “the benefits” of chocolate and how it’s a panacea for pretty much everything. How big chocolate gives away most of the cocoa butter to the cosmetic industry. He’ll also talk to you about how he asks ChatGPT about chocolate and it’s wrong a lot of the time. You’ll then buy a bar even though it’s small and $10. But you will go home and have a little piece after dinner and never taste chocolate the same way again…

Maybe not the advice you want to hear, but…

Ceramic pans are unfortunately not very long lasting, once the coating is damaged you can’t really fix it. Most of these pans also lose their nonstick qualities after a while. I suggest investing in a carbon steel or cast iron pan, which can be re-seasoned if damaged. Or stainless steel which is pretty indestructible as far as I can tell. These are lifelong pans!

pistachios with the shell on

Shelling causes you to be mindful. You can't really go on your phone or computer while shelling. It's a nice, deliberate activity that I've been enjoying lately.
