Poetry, poets, reflective, image-filled writing, generosity toward other writers, love of animals (dogs, foxes!), nature and humans, a compassionate, romantic heart—all this I find in Constellations in Her Bones, aptly named and delightful.
Candid reflections on life, kids, childhood, religion, art, shoes--whatever crosses Satz's agile mind, plus witty, well executed cartoons to match. Definitely works for me! Do check it out.
The expression "what's old is new again" is proved true in Amie McGraham's wonderful blog that seamlessly blends columns her mother Karyl Bannister wrote and illustrated about food and life for a local weekly in Maine that morphed into a monthly newsletter, with Amie's own reflections, memories and down-to-earth recipes. Love, humor and enjoyment of good food infuse every post.
If you're a person who wants to know the why's and wherefore's of French butter, perfect pie dough, avoiding freezer burn, outdoor grilling and much more, this newsletter by Elizabeth Karmel and Anthony Underwood is your ticket. I only recently discovered W4D, so now I will have to go back and read every last post. There's so much I want to learn and recipes I want to make!
I met Marg Moon virtually in a small group organized by Substack a few months back. I’ve been enjoying her blog, Book Chat, ever since. I like her take on books, along with the recipes she includes—not fancy but delicious and doable. Plus she’s a fine writer and gives us a glimpse into her life in Australia, a place I want to visit someday.
