What are you doing this week? Anton had to write a paper about the zoo, so we’re going to the zoo! (He’s also reading Gold Rush, which is really interesting.) Looks like fifth grade is good, you guys. I hope you have a good one – will you be watching the Oscars? – and here are some interesting links from around the web…
In today’s Big Salad, book critic Tembe Denton-Hurst talks about her exciting bookselling idea! She also offers three great books, a pony bag she carries, airplane book lamps, and a signature scent that Courteney Cox complimented her on. Read the whole thing here, if you want (paywalled).
The trailer for Apples Never Fall, a new psychological thriller, looks impressive.
I am so excited about Jenny’s new cookbook!

Tomato soup of the week. When Anton was a baby, our friend Sean came over and made tomato soup and grilled cheese in our kitchen while we watched TV. Then they brought us, we had a quick chat and left. It was a new baby gift I will never forget.
This English home is bursting with flowers.
What a beautiful skirt.

Hunter Harris does a great review of Love Is Blind. “I read Love Is Blind like a father in the 1950s would read the morning paper and ignore his children. This chat makes me happy. I enjoy it.”
Yummmm, chickpea, avocado and down that a sandwich.
Hahaha but true.
Also, four reader comments…
Mikiko says that the TV jobs seem real: “I’m an OB/GYN and I’m supposed to be an extra on the Hawaii 5-0 episode where Danno’s ex-wife is having a baby. There’s a two-minute shot of my profile where I’m doing a C-section, and before they shot the scene, they shot her face to make it look like she was sweating from labor. I said, ‘She’s having a C-section – she’s not sweating!’ And she quickly wiped her face lol.”
Caroline on TV projects says: “I’ve worked with horses all my life, and the sound of voices in films and TV shows puts me to shame. Horses aren’t whining/whining/whining all the time! In fact, most of the time they are silent! There is no problem showing a horse on screen without the horse’s voice. “
Anonymous on TV work seems real: “I’m a female FBI agent. One thing I feel like I have to tell people all the time: I’ve never slept with anyone in my class at Quantico. In fact, I’ve never slept with a co-worker. We can investigate without sexual tension, haha.”
Lauren said of the nine women with gray hair: “I had a boss who had the most amazing gray hair and tied them up with very high heels and an attitude that let you know they couldn’t do anything.” He was a bad boss in a big company controlled by good guys. I have unnatural red hair that I’ve been rocking for 13 years and I would pay a zillion dollars to keep it forever. Whether our appearance can make us worse. And if it stops serving us, let’s have the courage to change.”
