Stealth & Audacity

Also, a list.

On my nightstand:

• Oranges by John McPhee
• 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff
• the April issue of Harper's Bazaar which my aunt gave me after she was done with it
• Otherwise by Jane Kenyon

Am currently loving:

• the weather
• apricot everything
• my lunchtime strolls
• collecting cafes, one for each day of the week

What inspires you about spring?

• the fact that it's still sunny when I get off the subway after work
• the small cemetery in my neighborhood that's full of headstones from the 1730s and how it's always the first place that flowers bloom

What are three constants in your day?

• a cup of tea while I put on my makeup
• eating an apple with my lunch
• reading before bed

Three dishes you find yourself cooking over and over:

• roasted red potatoes with rosemary
• Irish soda bread
• chickpea salad

These questions came from This Joy + Ride, which is pretty gold star if you ask me.
