wins of the week #61
my latest for apartment therapy, taylor swift tickets, tennis lessons
Some weeks there are so many good things happening they just fly out of my hands into this newsletter and this week was one of them!!
10 Things I’m Celebrating This Week:
I wrote about what compelled me to host dinner parties for literal strangers — and why I would do it again, for Apartment Therapy! Read the article here.
I got a ticket (yes, singular) to see Taylor Swift in Edinburgh !!!
G and I watched Wimbledon on the glorious outdoor screen at the Neighborgood Market. Yes, I cried.
I’m hosting a dinner to kick-off Fringe on August 2nd. Send to anyone you know who might be in Edinburgh then! Link here.
Charlotte’s amazing company Alice was written up in the The New York Times.
I started a Whatsapp group chat for people who live in Edinburgh to ask for help and recommendations. Join it here!
Pretty PUMPED to start taking tennis lessons soon. For method acting purposes, I want to get tennis whites. Could anyone recommend brands they like?
Details of the first Royal Circus launch will be coming out soon. Sign up to this email distro to make sure you get the deets!
Kate from Create Dinners is hosting a non-alc wine tasting & bites with Boisson in Williamsburg on July 20! Deets here to RSVP. And readers get this lovely discount code: YESCHEF
In a caffeine-induced flurry, I signed G and I up for something called “Coasteering” which, upon Googling just now, appears to be a mix between hiking/diving/climbing ??? The confirmation email said we will get both wetsuits and waders. It’s on Sunday. Updates to come.
Hope you have an amazing week!

P.S. Does anyone have a recommendation for an impressive/easy to make dinner party entree? Asking for a friend (me) who is hosting three dinner parties in the next three weeks (still me).
I read some comment in some newsletter where a woman said she just makes the exact same entree for every single dinner party she throws because for her, the point is not the food, it’s the gathering. Anyways I took that to heart and exclusively make shallot pasta because everyone always adores it, it looks cute with some parsley sprigs, and if someone hasn’t heard of it before, I get to blow their mind with how easy and delish it is and send them home with the recipe.
I always make this mushroom risotto as an entree because it's 1) veggie friendly, 2) super accessible and common ingredients and makes a lot of servings, and 3) it's soooo tasty and can pair with so many sides and apps!!! https://cookingwithcocktailrings.com/2017-mixed-mushroom-risotto/
