All the Bad B*tches are Brunching at Gjelina

58. Little Deaths/Delights

hello beautiful people of Hot Literati

It is Sunday. For me that meant 1) sweating out a hangover 2) going to church 3) calling my family. I hope you all had a really lovely weekend and that you’re looking forward to chatting this week about life, literature, and more

Here are my LDLDs :o

Little Deaths

• New York humidity in the summer :o

• Man who didn’t hear me say “I like your shirt” in NoHo (Britney spears dump him tank)

• I miss my parents!!!

Little Delights

• Oyster Mushrooms: I bought oyster mushrooms for the first time. I sauteed them with a little soy sauce and added hazelnuts and a little bit of olive oil from Il Buco AV (my good olive oil)

• Breakfast Cookie from Frenchette at the Whitney :o

• Gjelina: the most delightful brunch at Gjelina with my friend Daniel who is one of the smartest people I have ever met.

From the Hot Literati Universe

• Our only NYC Event is sold out BUT the interns are working on a super fun video essay for you all on the theme of reality TV/The Stanford Prison Experiment

• Our last book club meeting for the Princess of Mars is this Wednesday. Thank you to all of you who have joined as I’ve healed and figured out a better engine for Literati. I’m really grateful for you guys, for your care, compassion, time, and grace. I’m so grateful for this community and for your beautiful minds

• The next book is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I’ll be journaling alongside reading with this reading companion that I designed specially for this book. I want all of my people to eat this year (and to believe in the betterment of their own lives). I chose this book with a lot of intention. You can buy an audibook of me reading it here. You can download a companion reader to journal as you read that I made here

New addition bc everybody eats haha and I like talking about food with you all.

I’m obsessed, still with a japanese sweet potato. I’m thinking of maybe adding a recipe to LDLD that we can all make together. If you like it, please comment and I’ll keep it:
