Friday Eating & Reading

Hard to believe, but my Dinner Diary (pictured here) turns 20 years old next month (that includes Volume 2) and to celebrate, I'll be picking some favorite pages and recipes from the year I started -- which is 19-freaking-98 if you're doing the math. If you have any MVPs from the DALS archive, please let me know. (Even better, tag your go-tos on instagram with #DALSdiary).

What else:

U R A Hot Dish: Molly is so funny.

Speaking of which, this is the greatest idea for a starter ever.

It's been way too long since I've made my Sunday Minestrone and I plan to remedy this asap.

Feel-good story of the year, brought to you by Sarah Silverman.

Managing the Trump-related rifts in your relationships.

A week of eating with Smitten Kitchen's Deb Perelman.

Three mocktails I want to try.

I'm reading Born to Run, Bruce Springsteen's memoir, not because I'm such a huge fan, but because I heard it was so well-written. Now I find myself deep-tracking Bruce in Spotify and it feels like I'm hearing his hits -- "Growing Up," "Rosalita," even "Born in the USA" -- for the first time.

Have I mentioned? Fauda was the most exciting series I've watched since...maybe in my adult life.

From the Archives: Andy gets wild 'n' crazy with his college friends.

Tonya Harding Would Like Your Apology Now

I've never been a big jerky fan, but I'm kind of addicted to this organic turkey jerky. (FYI: Thrive has been a past partner, but this is not a sponsored link.)

Jenny Komenda's tricks for personalizing your space. (I love that kitchen.)

The latest cookie to blow up the internet. (I still haven't made them!)

Have a good weekend.
