Did you know it’s hard to do research and also take care of two babies? This week required a lot of childcare maneuvering. My dad stepped in a lot, giving me a few extra hours a day while he entertained and fed my kids. Balancing childcare and work is especially difficult right now – my […]
Chocolate chip cookies, plus a lot of ingredients that supposedly promote lactation in women who have just given birth, but anyone can eat them because really who is going to resist chocolate chip cookies? Read More
It probably won’t surprise anyone to learn that coffee sales are down as a result of the pandemic. Like makeup and gasoline, coffee is less in demand when people aren’t leaving their houses, and like the restaurant industry as a whole, coffee shops often rely on foot traffic or at the very least gathering indoors, […]

The biggest thing stopping me from leaving my apartment in Palermo on any given day is how hard it is to open the door. Thank God for scanners and digital editions of manuscripts. After last week’s venture to the Biblioteca Regionale (BR), I came away with some misgivings about whether the librarians there had actually […]

I’m lucky enough to have a dedicated home office. This was by design – it’s been a requirement for every space I’ve lived in during grad school, at the expense of living spaces that were cheaper, or more private, or in more interesting areas near people I knew. But just because my office belongs to […]
Insert joke about Jewish mothers here. A few days before my C-section, my wonderful doula came to my house to guide me through an exercise called havening. Havening is essentially a form of guided meditation – a partner gently strokes your face, shoulders, and hands while you repeat words you’ve chosen to express how you […]

It’s amazing how big a part of my identity as a New Yorker bread is. In the summer of 2004, I took a trip to Alaska that low-key changed my life. At the time, my dad flew a small airplane. Most of the time, he was shuttling kids in need of advanced medical care to […]
