It’s wonderful to see Ida Lupino highlighted on @criterionchannl for her acting roles. They have 13 films up as of today!
Every single one of them is worth seeing. For those less familiar with her work, though, I thought I’d try to lay out some priorities…

Just spoke with Jacques Pépin for a story. He's calm, healthy and cooking oysters and clams for dinner. He and his wife of 54 years will split a bottle of wine, like they do every night. This was the most comforting conversation I've had all day.

Taqueria Sinaloense closed, so no more chilorio or machaca, but in its place has risen Tia Julia, with great cemitas and tacos placeros, and a few specialties from Tlaxcala. ny.eater.com/2018/10/25/1801…
RIP kenny shopsin, my inspiration and fascination. your personality and daring is a constant reference and benchmark in my work. i celebrated anniversaries with my girlfriend at your restaurant, and crawled there with the direst of hangovers. take care. newyorker.com/magazine/2002/…
twitter is telling me to celebrate my 10th anniversary, so i want to mention that the way i used to tweet—like everyone else?—was by texting non-sequiturs to an anonymous number from my sony-ericsson burner (thx for reminding me @WillieBillyWood)

A lesson from Jonathan Gold's life for writers, especially young ones: When people are looking at the wrong things, keep talking about the right ones.
RIP. i interacted with rebecca a few times over the years (first at a very intimidating trail at marlow & sons in 2008), and i can confirm she was exactly and so much more the culinary badass and kind, generous person portrayed here. grubstreet.com/2018/05/salti…
