I have never received as much engagement on an Instagram Story as when I posted a before and after of using Barkeeperās Friend on my Le Creuset. I was resigned to the fact that my matte white Dutch oven would just forever have a brown ombrĆ© effect on the bottom half thanks to years of it sitting on a burner. But no! The magic that is Barkeeperās Friend and a shit ton of scrubbing took it off in, like, 20 minutes flat. Extremely satisfying. Highly recommend.

š§½I burned the shit out of my steamer pot while I was steaming beets because I forgot about them and the beet water under the basket burned up and this stuff got it off so easy!! Usually Iām a natural-ish no plastic girly but sometimes you have to pull out the big guns.

šSometimes I get mad at my Instagram explore page because itās just all squiggly candles, checkerboard prints, and sun-soaked interiors. Like, is that who I really am? But then I look in my bathroom and realize it is. I now have both the green checkerboard Baina bath mat and the red checkerboard Baina towel. YOU GOT ME, INSTAGRAM. Whatever, the towel is perfect (not too soft!) and the bath mat makes my feet extra happy. Havenāt gotten into the squiggly candle trend yet thoughātake that, explore page.

š“I just finished the first issue of For The Culture, a new magazine from Klancy Miller celebrating Black women in food and wine, and already canāt wait to read the next. I particularly loved Cha McCoyās interview with winemaker Krista Scruggs, hearing how Jenna Wortham has been practicing self-care, and Omolola Olatejuās essay Being Black in Hospitality. After leaving my job in food media, I was feeling a little burnt out on consuming food media. This magazine changed that.

š¶Itās honestly awkward how much I talk about Omsom. Iāve had people assume I work for them because I post about them so much. Hereās the deal: they make āstartersā, which are essentially pantry shortcuts for a specific Asian recipeāall the sauces, aromatics, and seasonings you need. My personal favorite is the larb starter, which comes with a fish sauce-heavy seasoning packet and nutty toasted rice powder. In a year where I fell in love with cooking and then out of love with cooking (then repeat that cycle again and again), these Omsom starters have been a constant. Plus, their branding and social media rules.
