Our pal Jimmy made linguine with clam sauce (NYTimes present hyperlink) for dinner — “However I used contemporary shucked clams, not canned,” he advised me, “They’ve a greater style and really feel.” — together with Alison Roman’s spicy breadcrumbs, or “savory sprinkles” as his youngsters known as them. Soooo scrumptious and lemony.
Afterward, we performed Ono 99 (a really enjoyable, rousing recreation that’s straightforward to be taught), and I liked these expressions when these two realized they have been going to lose.

We additionally went to a close-by cheese store with the funniest little indicators. This one made me snicker: “Glorious gouda of unknown windfall and undetermined age. Purchased from our Belgian cheese man, who offered no supporting documentation and isn’t answering his emails. In all probability Dutch, possibly Belgian.”
Lastly, my great pal simply acquired surgical procedure and requested for fast humorous podcasts whereas recovering. I remembered this outdated round-up — what would you add to the record?
Hope your summer time goes nicely, though in fact it doesn’t must be! As Zora Neale Hurston wrote, “There are years that ask questions and years that reply.” What have you ever been as much as? Right here for all of it, and sending love, as at all times. xoxo
