Admission: I move very. slowly.

Second: I bought Weekday Vegetarians when you shared this. A year later made my first dish from it—Spicy Chickpeas With Tomatoes & Greens—and oh boy it was awesome.

Curious if you'd ever posted top recipes or favorites from the book? I'm pleasantly overwhelmed by the options and pondering what to cook next!

I also like the “Listening through” idea! I’ve started with Fleetwood Mac—I’m that old—and am really digging the earlier bluesy stuff.

Yes! That Peter Green stuff rules. And they even influenced The Beatles. Listen to “Albatross” then “Sun King” on ABBEY ROAD
