  1. As of today, I think I have all of the midcentury diagrammatic cookbooks by Loeb, which started with “Wolf in Chef’s Clothing”.

    Today’s arrival: “She Cooks to Conquer” by Robert H. Loeb, Jr. and illustrated by Laura Jean Allen, 1952

  10. I'm trapped in the #21stcentury. I've been here long enough to get used to things, though. In fact, I just want to learn about 21st century #ai. That includes #llms, other forms of #generativeai, and related topics.

    I obviously have zero background in the subject matter beyond reading blog posts. Artificial intelligence intrudes in my life a lot. I'd like to understand as much as possible about those changes, despite my limitations.

    On my website (
    https://cathymarkova.com), I'm sharing how my perspective changes. I'm also exploring the #vtuber concept, but I'm unsure about compatibility. I really enjoy #midcentury aesthetics, of course. From the 2020s, I enjoy #lofi, #kpop and #kdrama, #vibecoding, writing #fanfic at times.

  17. Found this little gem in Triennale of Milano bookshop. Lots of examples of an aesthetic (mid-century modern) that I always loved, and reminds me of many books and other graphical artifacts I enjoyed at my grandparents' house when I was little (the two facts are probably related 😊).

    I practically grew up in this apartment, which, if it really existed, would be in the middle of the East River.

  20. This mid century reel to real tape recorder had been at the local goodwill for months, calling to me. I finally persuaded my husband that it belongs in our house, so here it finally is! We have NO idea if it still works, we'll worry about that later 😁

  21. Look what I found while thrifting! As far as I can tell, this pepper & salt shaker set is silver plated and probably from the Fifties. I just love finding such treasures! 😊
