weekly delights #2

Classical MPR, what mystery novel to read next, a sadly worth-it blanket from Costco, and a hack for your best winter skin

Going forward, the weekly delights portion of my Substack will be paywalled. Bonus content for those who support this publication, while my essays will, for now, remain free for all to read. Thank you to all my lovely paid subscribers who make this possible.

When I think of places I felt safe, happy, and warm as a child, I always think of my grandparents’ house. We moved around a lot when I was young, first within our hometown Minneapolis, and then eventually overseas when my parents started working for a humanitarian aid organization in Central Asia— another story for another time.

But my grandparents had the same house my entire life, and as a child I just liked existing in it.
