    We are SO back. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Hello everyone! I’m finally coming up for air after three wonderful weeks in Flushing, Queens for the US Open, followed by the necessary recovery and a whirlwind week of podcast recordings. Consider this my Substack proof of life. Going in, I optimistically thought I would be able to sustain my once-a-week newsletter clip while on location, but alas, my lack of sleep caught up with me. Yes, I stayed late for the 3:33 a.m. Ben Shelton finish and no I had zero energy to write about it afterwards.

    How I’m surviving three weeks in a hotel room (opens the original)

    Excerpt

Between crisscrossing the country to cover their World Series run and squeezing in a quick flight to Austin to stand in a friend’s wedding, I was constantly on the move.

    Every home gardener can relate: It’s Tuesday morning, and you’re out for the daily garden check. You notice a cute little four-inch zucchini peeking out from under the giant leaves. You decide to leave it for just one more day. You come back Wednesday morning only to discover a giant green baseball bat sitting in the dirt.We’ve reached the point in the summer where home gardens, farmers markets, and CSA boxes are overflowing with summer squash. We are in peak zucchini season. But even after givi

    My Long Island Sweet Corn Hyperfixation (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Do you ever have that feeling when your body just needs a specific ingredient? I was talking with Kelly over at Golden Acres back in June, and she shared a philosophy that really resonated. She believes your body naturally craves what it needs, and it’s usually the exact things that are in season.It makes perfect sense.
