The Week of February 18–22

In case you missed it…

- Imperfect advice from strangers.

- Alone in Shanghai.

- How to look more like McDonald’s characters.

- “… a healthy dessert that called for black beans and a sugar substitute …”

- The comments on this “if sitting is the new smoking” post are hilarious.

- Things we have in common with Michelle Obama.

- “we are going to have to put off this ball”: Texts From Pride and Prejudice.

- Reading your way through the stomach flu. (Jackie Collins, Justine Blau…)

- First Pages of Fake Lifetime Movies: ‘The Triumph.’ Or, ‘Poop Cruise.’

- Ask an Apology.

- And making somewhat revolting-sounding cakes (pies?) from Martha Washington’s recipe book.

Have an excellent weekend, and we’ll see you back here on Monday!
