For anyone who's feeling extra sour about All The Pinkness right now, here's recipe notes on aam ka achaar / green mango pickle, which I was amused to discover I'd accidentally scheduled for Valentines Day. (On behalf of all of us aroace folks, I'm rolling with it.) lynnstrong.com/2026/02/14/p...

I wish I were compatible with audiobooks, it would make book consumption while vision limited much easier -- but I spent so many years as a transcriptionist at the speed of sound that audiobooks tap straight into my "disengage brain, engage fingers, TYPE FAST NAO" reflex and I can't process it!

I just finished my ARC of The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance by Chiara Bullen and it was delightful. A scholar stays at an inn determined to record its history and the adventurers who climb the mountain. You'll like it if you enjoyed The Spellshop series.

I love that actual historical food both hits "this would be fun in February in particular, with all the pinkness" and "built in low spoons recipe modifier for disabled folks from the 10th century onward." Bc my own cozy fantasy is happy to be inclusive!
