The Weekly Wrap: November 2, 2025

We've got family in town, so I'm skipping the intro to get you straight to the Wrap. It's a bit of a short one this week (because life), but I hope you find at least one thing to enjoy.

• This library post is brilliant. No notes. My colleagues have already asked if I can get my hands on some of the stickers because one of the "producers" will be at a conference I'm going to in a few weeks. [@lmulibrary]

• I made a no-recipe take on one our regular sheet pan meals. I chopped a beefsteak tomato into a medium dice and tossed it on a sheet pan with some mini gnocchi. After it baked (mixing once halfway), I tossed mine in a bowl with some julienned fresh basil and a hearty dusting of freshly grated asiago cheese. Super simple. Super delicious.
• Since the Husband was travelling for work, I let the kiddo pick one of our weeknight dinners. She chose mac and cheese and hot dogs. So that's what we did. It was quite the throwback to childhood. Just needed a Crystal Pepsi to complete the meal.
