Last week of autumn, LET’S DO THIS. This will be the final Fall Fridays of 2025, so thank you for being here! I love writing these and all the eyes that read them.

BAKING/COOKING

Slow-cooker meatballs, Ina Garten’s cauliflower toast, BLT skewers, homemade Levain-dupe peanut butter chip cookies. Holiday cooking is in full swing, I can’t be stopped.

CRAVING

The Thanksgiving egg rolls at Sweet Afton in Astoria. Good god, they’re unbelievable.
