A great pie crust for beginners is a French pate brisee. Instead of rolling out the crust you press it against the dish.

Happy #PiDay!

The US Womens Hockey Team showed far more principle and commitment to our American values and decency than the Mens Hockey Team. Brava to the women who stood tall in courage and strength and compassion.

"Writing with lyricism and great depth of feeling, Crabapple movingly presents the principled Bund... as “a candle to illuminate the tumultuous present.” Readers will be rapt."

Actually, I think they should keep going. Superbowl Ballet.

Love this! The Boston Ballet‘s response to the Pacific Northwest’s #Superbowl challenge.

Really enjoyed @sarahsbrannen.bsky.social‘s presentation of her delightful new picture book Lolly on the Ice at the @silverunicornbooks.bsky.social. Kids love the Zamboni, pictured on book covers beneath the jacket.

Was going to CVS and Whole Foods for a few things, when thankfully an acquaintance reminded me about the #GeneralStrike. And so I turned around. This guy used to be an independent voter, but no longer.

She Spent a Night in the Anne Frank House. And Met Ghosts.

Lola Lafon's book When You Listen to This Song was inspired by the night she spent alone in the Anne Frank House. It includes her meditations on Anne Frank's life and diary from a writer's point of view, and on her own family history.

How to get a lot of writing done: Ask the weather gods to coat your driveway with ice so you can’t go anywhere.

31 Days, 31 Lists: 2025 Nonfiction Books for Older Readers Forget the picture books. Older nonfiction, that nebulous but ultimately satisfying genre, is where the action is. This list today just proves it.

Land Grab: Inside Israel’s Escalating Campaign for Control of the West Bank Israeli seizure of Palestinian lands in the West Bank, often brutally, has accelerated, raising doubts about the prospects of a peaceful solution to the conflict.

It’s not just Gaza.

Netanyahu’s extremist government is supporting the violent annexation of Palestinian land in the West Bank. This is illegal and immoral, and decades of American silence have enabled it.

NO MORE MILITARY AID FOR NETANYAHU.

Happy Solstice!

I like being surprised when I’m doing historical research for a YA or kids book. So when I looked into the identity of the author of an article published in the New York Times in 1936, I was thrilled to discover he was probably a Soviet mole.
