Friday Eating and Reading

July 8, 2016 Jenny

What we’re reading and eating this week:

Five ingredient Fried Chicken (hold the frying)

I’m sure parents of picky eaters out there can relate to this

Phoebe, our 14-year-old, is officially addicted to Radiolab. Last weekend, on a road trip, we replayed Colors, one of their most popular episodes, and it blew all of our minds, all over again…

Speaking of the radio world, Effinbradio, a Charleston-based podcast, has some insider fun with the food and beverage (F&B, effinb, get it?) industry. Check it out.

Jewish cookbooks, and the stories they tell.

George Saunders on Donald Trump.

An all-organic, family-friendly meal kit service from the brains behind family-friendly meal genius Weelicious. (Available in California and parts of Nevada & Arizona.)

Dying in the Age of the Internet. (Steel yourself for this one.)

In the market for some happy ceramic dishes? (via @lallimusic)

Weeknight dinners. These are looking a little different than they did pre-kids.”

Remember how I was looking for new kitchen chairs? Only took me two years, but I finally ordered these.

What happens when Starbucks wants to sell your product?

My upcoming 8th grader’s summer reading list: The Hot Zone (done); The Glass Castle (started); Code Name Verity (on deck).

And now, for the shameless self-promotional portion of the program…

An early book endorsement in from Ree Drummond, mastermind behind the Pioneer Woman empire: “I have been an ardent fan of Jenny Rosenstrach’s beautiful writing for years. I always know that every word of her books will be something to savor, and How to Celebrate Everything will strike a chord with anyone who enjoys family, friends, and delicious food.” Ree Drummond, guys, Ree Drummond!
