Friday Eating & Reading

Since it's been at least a week since I've posted an egg-topped something or other, I thought I'd share my new favorite salad: Microgreens or sprouts (your favorite, these are arugula) tossed with a rice-wine-based-vinaigrette, a wedged avocado, a seven-minute egg, and a generous shake of Furikake. I made the salad alongside an impromptu family brunch a few weeks ago, and for dinner guests, sans egg, too.

How do you feel about the "Potaco?" Against all better judgement, I kind of love it.

Carla Lalli Music, one of my favorite food characters on my most favorite podcast (and who used to be my Bon Appetit editor) wrote a cookbook, and it's awesome.

Are we ready for the Impossible Burger and Clean Meat?

As long as you are book-shopping: Check out The Great Believers, one of the best novels I've read in a while; Up next: Save Me The Plums (Ruth Reichl's memoir about the Gourmet years) and I Miss You When I Blink (essays).

Read of the Week: The Senseless Logic of the Wild, by Jon Mooallem

Listen of the Week: Wesley Morris on The Daily talking about Michael Jackson and separating the art from the artist.

Nathan Englander's Grub Street Diet.

Me, constantly.

I've been making this nori-vinaigrette-tossed salad from Portland's Eventide so often lately that Abby told me I need to stop because "it's too special to get sick of."

Is everyone following the World Cup Women on instagram? (Speaking of which: I'm now a Luna Lifer.)

What's for dinner? A handy flowchart I worked on with Cup of Jo's Joanna and my design hero Erin Jang.

Have a great weekend!
