If you’re at an amazing restaurant, eat the amazing food there! Enjoy it!

This woman has serious swagger. It’s a slightly more subtle swagger than, say, Snoop Lion, but it’s there: in the nonchalant flick of her wrist while tossing garlic cloves into a food processor; in her decision to throw a spontaneous formal garden party just because she made a frittata, and in her firm pronouncements to use only “good” ingredients — without ever defining what that means.

Dear Sensitive Soul: Are you having a hard time right now? Me too. I think a lot of us are.

Ever had an imagined conversation with optimism? Yeah, me too.
