Oh for smellivision. Anyway, having baked a big batch of Lemon Rosemary loaves, I now have a couple of zest-free juicy lemons. </p><p>What should I do with them? Tarte aux citron doesn’t use nearly enough. Lemon curd? Something else?

Defending inflation

Excellent, clear explanation. I rather liked this bit:

One strange feature of American ~popular economic discourse~ is that the rarified troubles of the very rich often get discussed as if they were “normal”, but: they are extremely not normal.

Because it is so true.
