Iโ€™m a huge fan of Flat Vernacular wallpaper, and was thrilled to see theyโ€™ve entered the adult coloring book fray

Is your child the next Food Network Star? Chopped Junior isย casting!

How to makeย Babkaย from NYCโ€™s Sadelleโ€™s

Confessions of a Fortune Tellerย (Iโ€™m so doing this at the next school event)

What Happens When Two Hugely Popular Bloggers Try to Escape the Internet

I covet these kitchen shelvesย hard.

As of this weekend,ย When Breath Becomes Airย will have officially hit NUMBER ONE on both Amazon and The New York Times bestseller list.

Do I go down this reading road? Iโ€™ve heard mixed reviews.

Itโ€™s probably a bad sign that I find this cartoon so funny.

Since I liked Haruki Murakamiโ€™s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running so much, a reader thought I might like this meditation on running, too. She was right. (Thanks, Marie.)

The Science of Healing Thoughts

Hooray! Modern Love is now a podcast.

    I loved โ€œWhat I wish I Could Change About My Childrenโ€. I hope I always remember to be like the kind couple behind her when I encounter people who require my love and understanding.

    YES ON THE BO SSAM! My husband walked two miles in the snow last year in order to get kimchi for said bo ssam.

    Itโ€™s even easier in real life than the instructions would lead you to believe and ideal snow day food.

    Stay warm!

    For what itโ€™s worth I liked โ€œMy Brilliant Friend,โ€ loved the second book, was โ€œmehโ€ about the third, and am about to start the fourth. We read the first for my book club and it was divided 50/50. Regardless, itโ€™s a commitment! Happy reading.

    Love it.thanks for sharing this!

  • MB@Bourbon and Brown Sugar says:

    Great links Jennyโ€ฆ and let me tell you: one of our best friends made Momofukuโ€™s Bo Saam for a dinner party last year, and it was quite possibly the best dinner Iโ€™ve ever eaten at a friendโ€™s home! Enjoy!

  • Avatar Andrea says:

    Oh, you mean โ€œMy Boring Friendโ€?! Our book club read it-most of us are still wondering what all the hype was about.
    Great links!!!

    Itโ€™s sunny in San Francisco but I got inspired here, so weโ€™re having Momofuku Bo-Ssam for dinner tonight. The pork butt is sitting in the refrigerator soaking in the salt-sugar rub. My only problem is the pork will only have 2 hours to season, but I donโ€™t care. Danger is my middle name. (Also, I am cooking 5 pounds of pork not 10, so hope that will compensate somewhat for the shorter seasoning time.)

    Hi Jenny โ€“ just wanted to say I LOVE your end of week round ups. You always include some very interesting material โ€“ I donโ€™t know if they are very time consuming to put together or not, but it is very much appreciated! Thank youโ€ฆ.

    If you havenโ€™t yet read The Oatmealโ€™s comic/manifesto about long distance running, you must do so immediately โ€“ http://theoatmeal.com/comics/running. Also, I enjoyed Elena Ferranteโ€™s series. It is intelligent and well-written, if at times a little slow. I think its a worthwhile read.

  • Avatar tessa says:

    yes, read the Neapolitan series! i loved it!

  • Avatar Ingrid says:

    These links are so interesting! Thank you for sharing. I especially appreciated What I Wish I Could Change About My Children. I find it hard to believe how cruel some people can be to anyone (especially a child) who is different in any way.
