#16 Active dry yeast was Brooklyn’s toilet paper.
John Mayer laundry detergent, $50 strawberries, bread lamps, etc.
I hope this email finds you hydrated.
The end of the year always feels sooOoOooOooo busy, with everyone frantically tying loose ends before the new year. Hopefully a restful time is coming!
After two weeks off, I ~think~ I have enough brain cells to be back on schedule. I’m excited about the interviews I have planned for the coming weeks (next one is this Friday)!
TY for ur patience :)

things I’ve been into!
Claire Saffitz left Bon Appétit and started her own YouTube channel (yay!). She only has a few videos up so far, but the focaccia bread video made me think about when everyone was baking bread in the spring and yeast was sold out literally everywhere (and online!! I asked my mom to mail me some and she said no LOL). Active dry yeast was Brooklyn’s toilet paper. We finally got yeast packets from my former roommate’s friend who drove to a very far grocery store (what a mouthful). We made focaccia bread and half of the raw dough slid off of the olive oil-greased pan and onto the ground ❤️ but yeah, Claire’s channel is the rec here!
These are the comfiest tennis shoes/sneakers/gym shoes, whatever you call them. They run about half a size big in my experienceeee
I was gifted this John Mayer x The Laundress laundry detergent (literally the most random pairing????). He is so crazy in this video where he teaches you how to hand wash your clothes. Also it smells amazing and would make a good ~luxe~ gift for someone.
This very cute ceramic pie pan
You guys…….this woman makes lamps out of real bread. It makes more sense when you see photos.
Ok I WON’T GET THEM but I am VERY intrigued by these 8 for $50 strawberries…….

next month…
From now until the end of January, I’ll be collecting donations for Bed-Stuy Strong, a mutual aid network of neighbors helping neighbors in solidarity.
“One hundred percent of donations to Bed-Stuy Strong are used to purchase groceries and basic supplies for vulnerable neighbors. Households then receive what they need from our network of delivery volunteers – ordinary Bed-Stuy residents who are looking to help members of their community.”
You can read more about them here and follow them on Instagram at @bedstuystrong!
Venmo me at @elisebang (email me if you prefer a different method) and at the end of every month, I’ll match up to $50. Thank you!!!
this made me laugh!!!

I love One Direction (shocker) but I cannot believe he came from One Direction. Does that make sense?
