Weekend links.

I just...didn't have a lot of energy this week.  I'm not sure what to attribute it to, but I basically got on with my minimum activities (some form of exercise, and 1,000 words a day on my current manuscripts) and that's about it.  I did record two more episodes of CSR of One, adopted a foster dog (welcome to the family, Poppy!), and volunteered at K9 Friends (it was a weirdly manic day), but it's not a week I look back an am particularly proud of.

• Facts that (unfortunately) are true in 2020: this is the first cocktail book by a Black female bartender in a century.
• What does the food media need to do right now to support Black-owned businesses?
• Support The Okra Project.
• Please order me one of these boxes.
• But then also order me some additional food gifts (all from Black-owned companies).
• Also, some gift ideas from London based restaurants.
• Alain Ducasse pays a lot for an air filtration system.
• Addressing racial inequality in cookbooks.
• A great question, and a good group of answers.  What makes a good recipe?
• Someone also order me this sushi candle kit.
• I legit CANNOT stop watching this cat eat.
• Food and Wine with a realistic take on a 'best new restaurants' list.
• Is ice an ingredient?

Some yummy deliveries that we are playing catch up with this week (including a gorgeous Wagyu from Carnistore, and some sweet treats from MunchBox).  Mostly chilling today, but checking out a dessert 'tasting menu' tonight at Brix.  We might pop over to see friends tomorrow, and perhaps see how Poppy feels about a car ride. Have a great weekend!
