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!
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.
