Missed last week’s edit? I paused to be present during Father’s Day weekend and settled into a quieter rhythm for a few days. I thought about posting, but it felt right to hold off and share when the moment felt more natural. So here’s a quick roundup I meant to send then—a few things you might enjoy.
🍳 A recipe we return to
Shakshuka is a family favorite—one we first fell for during our time in the Middle East. It’s cozy enough for a quiet Sunday and festive enough for guests. Tomatoes, peppers, warm spices, and gently poached eggs, all served straight from the pan. Comforting, unfussy, and always a win.
💬 A fun discovery
Dinners with strangers. Who’s in? Timeleft hosts weekly dinners in over 300 cities across 60 countries. Every Wednesday, strangers are matched by personality to share a meal together—and now, they’ve added a women-only version every Tuesday. It’s designed for connection, not small talk. Book your seat, show up solo, and leave with five new perspectives.
🛍️ A sassy purchase
Casual Mondays by RJ Larese. Laid off, turned the moment into a merch drop, and somehow made it all funny and wearable. TOO GOOD.
🎟 An event worth bookmarking
Navigating Tariffs & Economic Uncertainty (via The WIE Suite). This virtual session explores how shifting global dynamics are impacting businesses, supply chains, and economic resilience. Whether you’re building across borders or budgeting for change, this one’s worth a listen.
🪷 Thoughts this week: We often talk about what we’ve learned from our mothers, but there’s quiet wisdom in how fathers show up, too. I’ve been thinking about how much of me is shaped by both parents, in equal measure. I wrote more about it here if you missed it.
Warmth and wonder, wherever you are.
