My third food adventure in a row: Japanese style soufflé pancakes. They have the same texture as cornbread (though not the flavor of cornbread.)

Food adventure: FINALLY trying Katz’ pastrami. I liked the fattiness. I didn’t like the stringiness. Some bites were better than others, which was really interesting.

My food adventures: today I’m trying Omurice.

The Historical Novel Society posts their conference program? This is a day every 2 years that is better than Christmas!!!!!!!!!

2 #13TheMusical Patrice's play #Glinda. For any 2000s theater kids out there, #ArianaGrande understudied and #AllieTrimm played Patrice in 13 on Broadway. Now, Ariana is playing Glinda in the film and Allie Trimm has been promoted from the standby to fulltime Glinda in #Wicked on Broadway.

I saw Gypsy with Audra McDonald. The perfect show for a girl to see with her mother if her mother is NOTHING like Mama Rose. 😂

It’s a fun day when The NY Times History quiz has a clue about the subject of the historical novel you’re writing. I’ve spent the past year inside the head of a Victorian woman wondering why her Remington model seems to have psychic powers. 😉

Today I saw something that at first seemed really sad: a dozen New York bagels dropped on the street. But then I realized a potential bright side: this is Hansel and Gretel New York Edition.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!! After trying and failing to see this musical offbroadway due to Covid cases in the cast at the Public theater, I finally saw it up close on Broadway. ❤️ playbill.com/article/broa...

If we can’t read passages from our favorite classic novels aloud to one another whilst enjoying dark chocolate tiramisu and a bottle of Château Margaux in front of a crackling fire in a Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cold winter’s night, then what’s the point?

New snacks at my favorite cafe for writing: cheddar biscuits and tea. 😉

It's ok to take care of yourself. It's ok to get some rest. It's ok to become a lonely lighthouse keeper and spend your days cursing the sea and your nights gently going mad as you write an unending novel about ghost cats.

Happy Thanksgiving to me 😁

Instead of Disney Bounding, I’m Wicked Bounding. 😁💚🧙

#SweptAway I loved it. Definitely my kind of show.

#DeathBecomesHer was, in a word, fabulous. If you’re looking for laughter (and who isn’t), go see this show.
