Leftovers #97

Three Californian breakfasts, a recipe for maqluba, a dry, minerally Muscadet under £17, a West London pub dinner I'd have again tomorrow, the best song you'll hear this week!

Everything! Is! Fine! 👍🏼

On My Mind

• The interference of technology in our relationships. How it has always been sold to us as a connector, but sometimes feels like the one thing that inhibits connections to thrive in an honest and meaningful way (lol my therapist really had a time with me this week).

• “In order for love to exist, there has to be a vibrant, flourishing middle class. Middle-classness is vital for real love, because the more someone is an opportunity to you, the less you can truly love them.” (!!!!)

• On that note this guy makes a similar case for why situationships are a symptom of capitalism and the dominant emotional trend of our time which is anxiety (look I know I sound pretentious but it makes so much sense when you listen to it!).

• Romance, desire, intimacy, everything in between. Wrote about some of that a few weeks ago in this free Sunday essay.
