Why I got a family tattoo — and Mum did too
Carla Jenkins on getting inked in Lanzarote with her mother and sisters
“It can be the small things that bring people closer. I kept telling Mum: “It’s not that deep.” But in truth it was. Years from now, even if we’re scattered in different places or some of us are gone, we’ll still have this small, simple sign of our time together”

Soooo funny and niche listening to the gen-z Glasgow gals explaining what matcha is to the old dudes who ask them what the queue is for outside the new blank street

Healthy eating has become a badge of moral superiority
I have a new favourite form of cognitive dissonance. It involves watching the kind of TV show where scientists and food industry types tell me that eating crisps will shave years off my life while one
'I recently overheard a posh-off between two parents comparing notes on their children’s refined palates. One served her kid trout only to be asked if it was line-caught. “Well, mine was at a friend’s for dinner and asked if the pesto ingredients were foraged”'

Sotto, Edinburgh restaurant review: gorgeous place, but it needs to pack more punch
This new addition to Stockbridge’s foodie renaissance needs to taste as good as it looks
What better to celebrate joining Bluesky than sharing our deliciously good restaurant review this week?
Great wines; food needs work; stunning area (and a fab description of Stockbridge on a Sunday, reminding me of my month living there for the Fringe)
