A few 2023 projects

Simple to do app: Little thing for tasks today, doing tomorrow, starting sometime soon. Daily snapshots for posterity. Anything uncompleted from the day gets moved automatically.

Round pies: I abandoned round pies for 4 years! Working on dough recipe, working on process, working on sauce.

Now

• 11/00: Serious Pizza, baby.
• 11&12: Test Lambruscos.
• 12/03: Tio Baby’s collab!

Soon

• In January, visiting Paris, Perpignan, Nice, Paris, Auxerre. Outrageously good recs?

Mainlining

• Frasier
• The Sopranos (rewatch!)

I’m always a bit shocked when people mention they’ve never watched Frasier. Kelsey is incredible. David Hyde Pierce incredible. All of your classic sitcom elements!
