A Dose of Sanity, A Fix of Beauty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The world is burning, the bloated beast of empire is rampaging, and AI may destroy us all. And I’m writing about food in Italy. No apologies. I can use a dose of sanity from time to time and a fix of beauty, too. A meal that hits the spot just right can set my world back on its axis. Perhaps you know the feeling. Pull up a chair! Besides, everyone knows it’s blasphemous to write about Italy without spilling some ink over the country’s excellence in all things edible. It seems like every single I
Outdatus Scavinga (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This phony-Latin phrase was the entire contents of a dream I had just before dawn the other day. I woke with the impression it was a name, one aimed in my direction. As a latinate ending tacked onto an English word, “Outdatus” is pretty self-explanatory. <div class="

Remedies for Those who Hide, Bristle and Sting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today’s piece continues exploring the intersection of astrology and herbalism. I aim to make one of these posts for each of the zodiac signs over the coming months. Even if this stuff isn’t traditionally your cup of tea—even if your eyes glaze over at Latin botanical names—you might still find something interesting and useful here, whether for yourself or a friend. I’m a firm believer that we can all benefit from the right plants in our lives, the trick is finding which ones are for us. That’s w
