Feel Good Friday: “What’s the Best Thing That Happened Today?” As the reality of Covid-19 is now the new normal, we at Simply Recipes are looking for brief respites from the anxiety and uncertainty that threatens to overwhelm. We need life-affirming reminders of the power of hope, humor, and humanity in the midst of this crisis, and we’re guessing you do, too! Welcome to Week 5 of the Feel Good Friday newsletter, wherein I share some of the more cheering or compelling things I’ve read or watched this week. Have you discovered something great recently? A favorite recipe? A lovely song? Something you read that made you smile? Tell me about it! Email it to me at cambria[at]simplyrecipes.com with the title “Feel Good Friday.” What I Loved This Week: - “What’s the best thing that happened today?”
- Love this imaginative performance of Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf combining live action, animation, and creative typography.
- A great episode from This American Life.
- What a gorgeous sidewalk garden – love the transformation!
- 33 times friends, neighbors, and strangers had each other’s back in this crisis.
- How to regrow scallions in a glass of water.
- Isolation is teaching people a better way to cook.
- And finally, also from the Slate article above, a quote from M.F.K Fisher on maximizing every ingredient when cooking in critical times: “These petty tricks seem somewhat more so when gas flows through the pipes and firewood is available and electricity actually turns on with a button. But in each one of them there is a basic thoughtfulness, a searching for the kernel in the nut, the bite in honest bread, the slow savor in a baked wished-for apple. It is this thoughtfulness that we must hold to, in peace or war, if we may continue to eat to live.”
Wishing you a healthy weekend! -Cambria
