What to do this weekend

What to do this weekend

Eat a non-meat meatball. Love a spicy meatball but looking to cut down on red meat? Lucky for you, there are plenty of tasty alternatives to replace beef. Try out this simple recipe using tempeh, this handy version with chickpeas, or this delectable fig and goat cheese spin.

Read the works of James Baldwin. The immensely influential writer and civil rights activist would have turned 100 yesterday. In honour of his centenary, get to know his moving fiction, righteous essays, and thought-provoking criticism with this thorough “where to start” guide.   

Watch Trap, now in theatres. The latest from the king of twist endings himself, M. Night Shyamalan, is a thriller about a serial killer attending a concert and trying to avoid police capture. It looks, and we mean this with nothing but love in our hearts, positively ridiculous. 

Listen to Stampede by Orville Peck. The new album from the masked Canadian country star is a huge affair. Every track features at least one guest artist, like Elton John or Willie Nelson, with Peck at the centre striking a perfect balance between camp and sincerity.—QH
