essay: Composting when it feels like shit out (Cass Marketos/The Rot). The hopefulness of no quick solutions.
recipe: Invisible French Apple Cake (David Lebovitz). And commentary on using a mandolin: “Also theoretically, you’re supposed to use a mandolin to slice the apples for this cake. When I worked in restaurant kitchens, if all of a sudden you heard someone scream out in pain, you could be pretty sure that it was a person using a mandolin.” I used to own one, and I feel the pain in memory. The cake looks great and all the better that it doesn’t contain cinnamon (a spice I dislike).
playlist: November 2024: Soothe (Mark Diaconi/Spotify). 38 songs, about 2.5 hours. Or maybe, unlike me, you’re in the mood for November 2024 Enliven.
article: Skunks Prepare For Winter (Elise Tillinghast/Northern Woodlands). “Despite their presence around homes, … skunks are not aggressive, will retreat from danger, and often tolerate people walking nearby without incident. The trouble comes when they get startled. ‘They have poor eyesight. … They don’t really see you coming.’” [If you’re into skunks, make sure you follow JamJar (about 50 JamJar stories at this link), often featured at Juniper Foxx’s Instagram account]
