Ginger and walnut carrot cake recipe
Last night at orchestra rehearsal, one of the violists brought this cake and I immediately asked for the recipe. It had the perfect density, moisture, and sweetness. The crystallized ginger makes it.
Ognisko Restaurant
Get the hot smoked salmon salad, the pork and veal pelmeni, and the chicken Kiev. Chase everything down with a Kavka Pickle (pickle vodka martini!). When I’ve had the choice of coming here again or going somewhere new, I’ve chosen to revisit and had zero regrets.

Libby App
An app that connects you digitally to your local library so you can borrow and read books on your phone or Kindle for free. There are sometimes weeklong wait times for the most popular books, but my favorite hack is adding multiple titles to my hold list and reading them in the order they become available. It’s like my present self is stacking book recs for my future self!
