Friday Reading and Eating

Adult spaghetti-Os anyone?

This Lenny Letter review of How to Celebrate Everything made me laugh. (“Come for the party-throwing tips, stay for the unique family rituals she shares. User-friendly, practical, festive, and delicious. Just like Joy of Sex.”)

If this anthology is anything like her first anthology, I’m all over it.

I love the way the candles look on this table. (P.S. Locals: The private room at Saint George is beyond elegant.)

Want to raise a trail-blazing daughter?

Three questions to ask your kids every night. (I love this so much.)

Historic moment of the month: Eric Ripert tries a Twinkie.

Speaking of fine dining: I love Brooks Headley.

Gretchen Rubin, longtime champion of happiness and great childrens’ literature, on her favorite Children’s and Young-Adult Books.

The latest graphic novel from DALS-fave Raina Telgemeier.

An NPR series devoted to the challenges of working parents.

Can never have too many apple crumb cake recipes in my opinion.

Who’s in Brooklyn tomorrow? I’ll be signing books and feeding people at PowerHouse on 8th in Park Slope from 4:00-5:30. Come say hi! Please please please!

Probably my most favorite interview ever: Perfect Food Day.

This one is for the history books.
