I started my Monday by listening to Blood Orange<\/a> until my ears fell off, which\u00a0was nice. Then my friend Jenny<\/a> told me to watch this (old-news) video<\/a> (that I somehow had never seen before), and with that, my\u00a0week is off and running. Hi to you.<\/p>\n

Now, business:<\/p>\n

1. The Guardian<\/em>\u00a0kindly invited me to write about a food that evokes home, and I wrote about a dead-simple, bare-cupboard soup that was first made for me by my aunt Tina<\/a>. That’s her below, on the right, living the early-eighties hot tub life with me and my cousins. Most people\u00a0thinks that June gets her hair color and texture from Brandon, but world, let it be known that I think she’s got my texture and my mom’s\/Tina’s color. I have spoken.<\/p>\n

\"mskt\"<\/p>\n

The story came out on Saturday, and you can read it over at the Guardian<\/a>. I’m also including the recipe below, because it’s exactly the kind of everyday cooking I love to do, and I think you might feel the same way. It makes me sad to think of not having the recipe in the index of this site. So go get ‘er.<\/p>\n

2. In other news, my friend Christophe sent me a link to an evocative BBC story on the late American musician Arthur Russell<\/a>, whose work haunts me. If you haven’t yet heard him,\u00a0“A Little Lost<\/a>” will really do it for you.<\/p>\n

3. Last, Dino’s<\/a> is hosting a very worthy fundraiser tonight, October 3, for Jubilee Women’s Center<\/a>. If you’re up\u00a0for some carrying-on and dancing on a Monday night, we hope you will join us. The party starts at 8:00 and goes until 2 am, and I’m really hoping that my mom is game to June-sit, hi Mom, because I would like to go do some dancing. You can find more information here<\/a>, and if you can’t make it, you can always donate to Jubilee directly<\/a>.<\/p>\n
