P.S. Here are a few things that fueled this newsletter/me this week:
🍤 ‘Shrimp scampi with orzo’: Even though I goofed on this New York Times recipe (think doubling it without getting a big enough pan and forgetting the white wine), it was still pretty tasty!
😷 Free at-home COVID tests: I ordered mine to prepare for this fall.
🗞 ‘Extra, extra, read all about it’: Meet the 23-year-old who Slate writes “is single-handedly getting Gen Z hooked on newspapers and print media.”
