What We Like Right Now: Meatballs, Coffee, Tween Spirit

FOOD AND DRINK
I rarely buy prepared food because it’s cheaper and more fun to cook at home, but I ended up at Market Hall last weekend and the woman working there recommended the roasted carrots. I bought a pint (they’re $5.95 a pound), bought them home, and proceeded to eat the entire container of lukewarm carrots standing at my kitchen counter. The carrots are bite-sized, soft but not mushy, and glazed with garlic butter — so simple and yet, mine have never tasted so good. — Whitney Phaneuf

Me and Ellen can’t seem to remember why, but last night we got into a fairly serious discussion about meatballs. Today, we decided we are going to make these, which are kindof like meatballs. Aren’t you glad you know that now? — Azeen Ghorayshi
