Weekend cooking adventures - a few months ago I bought this container of Bap Rang from a local Chinese grocery store. Delicious. Fast forward to trying to think of creative ways to use the Rancho Gordo posole, I remembered a recipe I saw in some cookbook for fried giant corn.

Thank you @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social for this tight, urgent, compelling read. I’ve already recommended it to at least 5 people in the last 24 hours.

Butter chicken naan bites were so delicious - the naan dough surrounds precooked and marinated chicken which is accompanied by the butter chicken sauce. It’s a little like an Indian empanada ☺️.

So many, many people have named this book by TJ Klune as a glorious read - they are so right. Reading this healed my heart, if only a bit, as it’s so broken by the world and its indiscriminate harms. Holding this book close to my heart.

Okay ma’am! Loretta J. Ross, Chapters 7 and 8 of your book ‘Calling In: How to Start Making Change with Those You’d Rather Cancel’ are a master class (or 2 or 3) on their own for steps to take when being called in, and the work of apology and repair after. A must-read.

A new to me poet - Carolyn Forché - introduced to me by @adelaidelancaster.bsky.social . I was instantly transported to the world the poet described, of determined survival amidst cruel brutality. True to so much of what’s going on in the world at the moment.

This book was thorough - deeply researched and deeply human at the same time, requiring me to both listen and read on paper so I could mark up my book with notes. I appreciate that @arlinegeronimus.bsky.social has been sharing her theory of weathering for decades despite the early detractors.

8am is too early for my heavier reads, starting this one and it’s already got me hooked 5 pages in! It maybe helps that I grew up in Houston and can picture exactly where the opening scene is.

Starting this heavier read by Loretta J. Ross as I wrap my head around designing training for groups for whom creating inclusive operating agreements alone might feel like a call in or call out.

Alternating middle grade and YA fiction with my heavy non-fiction is how I keep on reading and learning and challenging my brain and heart. This sweet collection of South Asian interconnected short stories is something I wish my 11/12 year old self had had in the library or bookstore.

This book is concise (5 hours audio) and so on the nose about so many things that I audibly gasped/was moved to vocal agreement. I would apologize to all who heard me, but this book should be required reading for everyone who has been silent for any part of the last 18 months.

Every year these Fritillaria come up, I want to plant more. I love the Alice in Wonderland vibe they add to the green space.

We saw this incredible production last week and we’re so struck by the three performers taking this play on. There are so many layers and the actors inhabit it so well I found myself worrying about the characters a few days after our night at the theatre. If you’re in Chicago, don’t miss it.

I heartily recommend Linda Hogan’s (Chickasaw) book of poems, A History of Kindness.

Read this beautiful book to a pre-K class last week. I replaced “peanut butter” with “Sun butter” since our school has some kids with peanut allergies but the message of kindness and mutual aid still shone through.
