I regularly go back to Original Cast Album: Company. It’s a treat to get to see Stephen Sondheim in his element, hotboxing the recording studio with cigarettes. And Elaine Stritch.. what an incredible force. I FEEL FOR HER! She just wants to get it right. And then sometimes I’ll double feature with this documentary. John Mulaney is a hilarious Sondheim.

Ok I avoided musicals for a long time because I was convinced I didn’t like them then last summer I had a crush on a Stephen Sondheim stan so naturally I did my research and I’ve now listened to Company like 8 times and did full sob to Being Alive on the streets of downtown Seattle upon first listen… so if my crush is reading this I’m recommending any Stephen Sondheim

I don’t understand why we refrigerate eggs. The internet says it’s because they last longer. But if you’re a big egg eater like me, you are definitely going to eat your eggs before they go bad. I like the way cracking a room temperature egg feels more than a fridge one. Also I believe that boiling an egg for 6 minutes is the perfect about of time (water is already boiling when you put egg in). I’m not sure if it would still be 6 minutes if the egg was coming from the fridge.Â
Keeping butter out in a tray is better than keeping it all cold in the fridge. It’s easier to spread on toast and is generally nicer to look at.Â
Water should always be room temperature. Not cold. It hurts my teeth and makes my insides chilly just thinking about cold water. And no ice. Ever.Â

Audre Lorde’s autobiography (actually, she labels it a biomythography) has been my favorite read of the year so far. My best friend, Zoe, recommended it to me on vacation this summer. It is mesmerizing to read about Audre, who is wise beyond her years, coming of age in New York City during the 1930s and 40s.I also highly recommend reading the same books as your friends and exchanging after. It’s like rediscovering the book through someone else’s eyes.Â

It really works. Yes, your room will smell like onion. But you’ll hopefully stave off that cold. (Best to use a new onion every night or reslice the original onion. Basically you want there to be onion juice evaporating into the air)
