Maira Kalman. I love her work so much it makes it difficult to write about. The riot of color, the casual, serious nature of it. It's friendliness. Her obsession with cake & pie, bobby pins & hats, packages & politics. It's all so endearing. She wrote two amazing blogs for the NYTimes. I love The Principles of Uncertainty. Be warned that if you have not read/ seen her work hours will pass without your knowing. It is just that wonderful! Enjoy! While I know you do not come to the blog expecting recipes this one is too good (&easy) to not share. My aunt sent it to my mother who shared it with me, because I needed to bring a dessert to a large party. Yes, maybe you think of fudge as a winter dessert, but this fudge is so good, particularly after it is refrigerated that it might end up being your go-to contribution to the sweet table at potlucks. And really melting the chocolate & butter takes less than 20 minutes, so don't wait for the next party make some today & surprise your friends & family with a little mid-week treat tomorrow.
