Ómós Digest #107: Things I learned this week
By Cúán Greene
Hello all,
Oh something new!
My passions in life typically revolve around food, design, craft, sport, books and travel. I would like to say I have a passion for music, but to be honest, that’s more of a pursuit. My violin career was short-lived to the dismay of my mother, and in comparison to friends, I don’t really know much about music at all and have a shocking aptitude for lyrics. Nevertheless, I do love melody and have a particular interest in traditional Irish music, and have been playing the band Lankum on repeat this week. On that note, there’s nothing more exciting to me than new discoveries and finding new inspiring material. Whether that’s coming across inspiring people or companies, reads, flavours, or new ways of presenting something, it’s ALL invigorating. But, I’m not going to lie… writing a newsletter every week takes its toll. I feel a weighted responsibility to provide great content for our readers. And sometimes, it can be super challenging to feel inspired (especially when there are a million other things going on and finding the time to sit down and expect the creative electricity to flow, is sometimes just too much to ask). So I wanted to somehow share something with you, especially when it has been of recent value to me, but with the caveat of being neither an endurance to read nor to write. Who knows, perhaps you too are in a busy or stressful period, when reading long-form articles is not quite a top priority. And maybe, just maybe discovering these recommendations will inspire you or give you the calm you do need. Please let me know in the comments section (don’t be afraid) about what you think and whether this is something worth continuing.
15 things I learned this week.
This recipe for banana SKIN caramel
I wrote about this recipe in last week’s article. It’s a banger. Full of sweet, salty, and tangy notes. If you replace the butter with smoked butter, it takes on a whole new personality.
An extremely inspiring read. Rick Rubin’s understanding of creativity is without question a masterpiece. I know I’m going to read this book over and over again.
