It’s not you I want, PSL, it’s what you’re made of. It’s weird how rigid we often are when it comes to what spices go with which foods. Dill goes with cucumbers and salmon. Cumin goes with coriander and turns chickpeas into falafel. Turmeric makes a stew into a curry. Sesame and ginger suddenly mean […]
Or why I study the Middle Ages and dress like the 1940s. If you run in vaguely historical or vintage fashion-oriented circles online, you’ve probably run into the Vintage Egyptologist (whose work I can’t condone) or maybe, more recently, the Overdressed Archaeologist (whose work I absolutely encourage you to check out). These two women combine […]
So this may seem obvious, but I have trouble leaving the past in the past. I’m a historian, so certainly I think that the past has value in the present. I think there’s something to be learned from how we got to where we are, or the ways things have changed (and the ways they […]
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, […]

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 […]
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 […]
