DO
DO make brisket when you’re having a large group for dinner. Here’s some advice from Jamie Geller at Joy of Kosher. I’m including my two favorite brisket recipes in my newsletter later this week. Make sure you’re a subscriber! (see bottom of this post)
DO buy something velvet this fall. I love the look and feel of the picks at Something Navy. Than you to my friend, Jenni, for introducing me to this fabulous site when I was in NYC earlier in the week.
Does anyone use a “capsule wardrobe” to a make getting dressed less of an analysis paralysis situation? I’m intrigued by the idea, which I read about at Pinch of Yum (a really great Minneapolis-based blog mostly about food). Basically, a capsule wardrobe changes with each season, but it’s very limited within the season. You can read more about how to create and why on Lindsay’s blog. Then stay for the recipes!
LISTEN/WATCH
I’m listening to Jessi Klein’s You’ll Grow Out Of It and LOVING it. The chapter on aging made me laugh so hard that I had to pull over. No joke. Jessi is the head writer of Inside Amy Schemer, so obviously the book is insightful and funny.

READ
Hey guess what? One of my favorite Rosh Hashanah pieces (of mine!) was syndicated in several Jewish papers over the past few weeks as well as in The Times of Israel. It’s had lots of positive feedback, which is fun to see a year later.
This post made me laugh-cry. “MASTC” (Moms Against Stupid Tiny Carts)
My updated reading list has lots of reading suggestions. I’m somewhere in the vicinity of 38 books so far for 2016.

Well now you have me craving velvet things. >.<

I can’t wait to check out your book reviews!
Congrats on having your piece syndicated! Is that something you had to query, or did the syndication folks approach you? I’ve always been curious about how that works.
I love to read about capsule wardrobes, but I’ve never actually put into practice. It’s an intriguing idea, but I’ve never been sure my shopping addiction would allow it!
I LOVE carpool karaoke! And you’re making my stomach growl with brisket references!

I’m not sure I’ve ever made brisket! Off to listen to Britney and James – carpool karaoke is always a great way to start my day 🙂 Happy weekend.
i live in a studio apartment, so my closet is naturally a capsule wardrobe. Maybe you should teach a challah class at the pinch of yum studio?!?! I know I’d make a generous donation to whatever you’d like in order to attend. 🙂
That would be AMAZING!
My mother is the brisket cooker in the family – I’ll have to share your recipes with her. I loved Jessi Klein’s audio book too, and I’m enjoying her tweets too.
Off to check out carpool karaoke (That word always look so wrong when I type it? It should be spelled karioke!).
