If you’re the kind of person who likes to keep cooking closer to jazz rather than classical, and are happy to pay closer attention to the pot, then consider whether a more free-form approach to cooking barley, farro, quinoa, or millet is right for you. It’s not that measuring is wrong, but it’s not the only way to make a tasty pot of grains.

A simple puréed soup is something I turn to often, usually relying on a creamy tomato, but lately I’ve been relying instead on a lightly spiced cauliflower soup.

Carafe Pin from The Mayven

• $9

So, pins. All the cool kids are wearing them. Yes, old-fashioned enamel lapel pins. It’s a glorious little trend to bring back; you can say so much with pins. Subtly, of course.

In our modern society, we associate coddling ourselves with being healthy. We obsess over antibacterial rooms while sitting in our comfortable chairs. We shield our children from dirt and discomfort.
