Mulberry Season, Bucket Hats and Another Perfect Doughnut
This week we are thrusting our face into the flowering bushes of Sydney in spring and letting sprigs of jasmine perfume our houses. It’s our favourite time of year, but there are deadlines to meet and sometimes the seasonal shift can make SoRo a little blue. To steady our equilibrium we have some decadent chickpeas, an app to track our cycles, a memoir to make us brave and yet ANOTHER perfect doughnut. There’s bat content and hat content and a map to find free street fruit!
EAT
SR
Cacio e Pepe Chickpeas! If you’re in Sydney you can try them at Alberto’s, if you’re elsewhere you can make them for yourself at home!

A perfect gluten free, dairy free, vegan doughnut - a thing that actually exists! Try it at Comeco Foods in Newtown.
WATCH
SR
The Sopranos, Binge. 2020 is all about jumping on pop culture bandwagons a solid 1 to 2 decades late. This award winning television show is really good guys! Who knew!
READ
SM
The Fixed Stars by Molly Wisenberg, Booktopia. A book about being brave enough to blow your whole life up and then sift through the pieces. Incidentally, also a book about how jury duty can accidentally change your life??
BUY
SR
Wellington Factory Hats. SoRo bought one in beige which has strong “middle aged gardening” vibes, but she’s hoping to figure out how to style it before the end of Summer.
SM
Carter’s Cookbook sits at the intersection between Australian’s Women Weekly and dreamy Byron Bay hinterland! Perfect.

Sugarcane Coogee Thai food in? In Coogee? Unexpected. But this beach side Thai restaurant is so good it reminds us of Longrain (RIP)

Music to Bathe To II (via the VERY EXCELLENT Friday Fourteen newsletter). Very soothing but also low-key upbeat. Great for when you just NEED TO CALM DOWN.
Easy Tea, a really delicious iced tea made by Dave, the manager at Cirrus in Sydney! It’s very new. But sometimes it’s so nice to drink something that’s not carbonated, you know?
Go forage for some street fruit guys!
