Oh those cozy, sleep alluding, wee hours in the den lit only by my laptop screen, a brand new New York Times’ Minimalist video, mini-size, full-screen, my choice.

Below is a true scrapbook item, a collection of 20 of the Minimalist’s Biggest Hits found weekly in the Times’ Dining section since 2006:

Enjoy!
