His friends, her aura — surreal, but nice. No other film makes me want to be a 30-something divorcée with a failing travel bookshop

I watched Notting Hill for the first time tonight with a couple of my friends, and it was so good!! It's so so human, I love how all the characters around William are kind as a bottom line. They all have their own personalities and quirks but they all really care about each other. And his patience and easy going care for his friends and their interfriendship dynamics are just so perfect. Also his humor oh my god, it's impeccable (if anyone has movies with his humor I need the recs). And it's definitely me projecting my own issues but the thing where they just keep coming back to each other is somehow irresistible (even though I disliked that Anna never technically addresses her mistake, it was not totally unrealistic of her not to tho).

So delightful.

Chaos and madness, thousands and thousands of samples strung together in a dream. You can play it track by track or just let it run as one big song — it is entirely unique in sound and style and feeling.

🍅
Ingredients:
🍞 1 loaf flat Turkish bread (but really, any bread)
🧄 1 garlic clove
🍅 1 tomato (dealer's choice)
🧀 1 fresh mozzarella (the one in water, burrata if you're feeling ✨fancy✨)
🫒 Extra virgin olive oil
🌿 Basil
🧂 Salt
Method:
1. Slice that bread, toast it in your favourite way (I go face down in a pan until crispy inside, soft outside).
2. Cut the garlic in half and rub it all over the bread for a *touch* of garlic flavour.
3. Grate the tomato (I use a cheese grater) and spread on the bread in a thick layer.
4. Slice up the mozzarella into discs and place on top of tomato.
5. Basil and olive oil to taste. Salt if you want the salty.
Optional, but delicious additions I've tried:
- Thinly sliced prosciutto
- avocado
- any kind of pickles
- roast peaches
- dukkah
- leafy greens
- eggs of any kind
Can also be:
- a fun caprese salad sans bread
- a solid sandwich
- a bruschetta if you make it 🤏 tiny

The cold wind on my face, blown in from the slit of the taxi window is bliss — a silver lining that smells like Paris and freedom from the stale plane air. My head rests in the nook between the car seat and window bathing in it.
