Hello hello from here.
We’re at Horseneck State Reservation this week in the hopes of squeezing every bit of of this summer into our days before jumping back into school. So far, so good. I grabbed a few NYT bestsellers from 2010 from the $1 box at the library (The Tiger’s Wife- I’m sorry I every doubted you!) and everyone here is salt-encrusted in a good way. I wanted to mention a few things I’ve been wanting to share.
This ended up in my inbox a zillion times in two days. Ha. Ha. Really, I’m laughing. I promise.
I got to talk to Kara at Cookstr last week about the new book. She has pink hair and asks really good questions. Listen here, and they’ve also got a few recipes from the book on their site.
Cooking from some serious winners. This, this, and this.
I wrote a little piece for the new and exciting Take Magazine about mountains with a lowercase “m”.
Chocolate mousse with roses in it.
And thank you, thank you for preorders. They help! They’re good! Amazon’s just made the book SO inexpensive, so if you’re moved to do so, it’s a good moment. Then in October, a good mail day!
Grief Bacon and so many other wonderful conversations on this site.
The Peace of Wild Things
Back soon, with back to school, more routine, blah, blah, blah. Until then, squeeze that summer.
Aimee @ Simple Bites says
Ah, enjoy the remainder of the summer! I’ve read two full books this week (a lot for me) so clearly I am grasping at these lazier days before fall arrives.
alanac says
Two books! Isn’t is wild how the rhythms change so much? I feel like I ONLY read in the summer these days. Trying to change that one…
Lisa M says
I saw the preorder link and didn’t even hesitate!!! Your Homemade Pantry book is my favorite of all my books—it is my go-to for so many things. I can’t wait to get your new book.
alanac says
Thank you, thank you Lisa!
Charlotte says
You are in my hometown!
If you feel up to an eating drive, head towards Tiverton: Gray’s ice cream, the Provender for sandwiches, and Evelyn’s for stuffies & lobster rolls.
Blessings at he end of summer!
alanac says
Oh yes- we love Tiverton! We’ve already done Evelyn’s on this trip, but I love Grays and Provender (such a pretty little corner there)- hoping to make those before we go!
Julie says
The WALK! So much fun to follow along (and inspiring…….)
Lassi recipe! Printed and ready for drink making.
The interview! I love to hear your voice, then later when I read your words, it’s like you’re narrating in my head. (But not in a creepy way, I promise.)
The new book! Pre-ordered. (Even though I’ve never done that before in my life. You know me, I wait and buy local. Or put it on a gift list. But, you’ve helped me so much. You’re worth it.)
Squeezing the last of summer! Yes. A million grains of sand and drops of sea water, yes.
Julie says
Oops, forgot one.
New site! Love it, the look is super smooth and nice. Photos all load up perfectly now. Any way we could get external links, though? So that when we click, it takes us to a new window/page? (This helps those of us who are easily lost.)
alanac says
Oh yes- thank you for mentioning that one. It was on the list- and just got buried! I’ll get that back up on the to-dos…
