Every year, I do an annual review of books I've read. It helps me reflect, hopefully puts some good sparks into the world, and brings in new recommendations for me.

I'm going to lob it into this app for the first time and see what comes back. Here we go:
@propublica.org has a cool new tool looking at racial segregation in public v private schools.

The first private school listed in San Francisco is the Waldorf School (about 440 students).

Any guesses how many percentage *points* whiter it is than SFUSD?

It seems the best way out of the gloom of winter is to time your reflections and cumulative goals to hit right in the thick of it. Tried and true strategy for feeling great.

Help! I've started braising daikon radish I can't stop.

Fry ginger & onions, then add daikon (make sure to peel well - edge can be a little tough).

Next: a few cups of water + mixture of light soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and Shaoxing cooking wine.

Finish: black pepper & scallions.
