I wanted to listen to something "collegiate" as I drove up to the mountains this week. I'm the last person to dive into The Secret History, but I can't stop muttering "Judy Poovey" to myself in Tart's accent.
I’ve talked to four people this week who didn’t know Miranda July’s work, and now I’m questioning my city/friend group.
While dining at a bar, how do you decide if you want to interact with the person seated next to you? (especially as a woman)
I always assume the bartender or server has more knowledge about the wine and menu than I do, but then I remember I also was once an arrogant 20-year-old waiting tables that couldn’t be bothered to learn the wine list.
I don’t get offended too often, but when the Uber driver switches the radio to country upon my entrance, I feel like I’ve gone wrong somewhere in my life.
Last summer, a rep for Fra'mani reached out to announce a nationwide mortadella sandwich competition. Now, every menu has mortadella. That PR company did its job. (I still don't like mortadella though)
This time of year, I plan my walks to take advantage of any mulberries, loquats, or pineapple guava flowers dangling over sidewalks.
I’ve gotten so many compliments today that I feel like I’m in some weird episode of Black Mirror. (My friend who lives in Wilmington said, “… people just aren’t that fashionable here so you’re probably impressing them .”) Should I move here?
This downtown street Waffle House in Wilmington is blowing my mind. What is a Waffle House without a parking lot and ramp full of employees smoking cigarettes?
I'm still thinking about the 1,200 pounds of cheese trapped in the Culinary Village due to flooding. Were they able to rescue it?
I just had to leave a party bc my lower back was convulsing due to the combo of concrete floors and high heels. I never thought this would happen, but here I am.
I heard the word "pannier" in a podcast and realized I've been mispronouncing this word my whole life — not that I talk about panniers often.
