Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrri’m back! It’s been a while for Flotsam. Like, weeks. And one would think that I have all these exciting things I’m bursting to share with you. Well guess what, I don’t. Ha! Oh. Wait don’t leave! Summer is churning along at a sizzling pace. As in, starting Monday we only have four full weeks […]
This is total Bev food, in case you’re wondering. Really anything picnicky, Frenchy, simple, fresh. With wine. It’s this. Even if it’s not outside, create a picnic in your heart. (<–that would land better in person, I feel.) There are two main keys to this lil’ dinner. First, it’s a springboard for whatever sandwich you […]
You see the title of this post, right? You see those actual words? I can barely take it, either. This might be the thing that saves us all. Cheddar Cheese Bread. I didn’t make it up. But I nearly hyperventilated when I came across it in this cookbook I’ve been showing you recently. The one […]
July tunes for your ear holes! And listen, I am not condoning any of this behavior. It is simply a fun theme that I leaned into for the heck of it. We can all just deal. What’s it about? Vices! Sort of. And while there are many many vices out there, depending on your lifestyle, […]
One of my favorite salsas! Time to completely obsess. There are five hundred gabillion recipes out there for corn salsa. We know this. But I’ll show you what my GO-TO is because I feel like you might want to make your entire life about it. But I’m not dramatic or anything. This corn is from […]
Oooooo let’s get 1975-style bougie! You know you’re in. These are amazing. I did not make them up. However, I did promise to cook out of this estate-sale-found cook book literally called The Cook Book from 1979. It’s written by the National Council of Jewish Women from the Greater Kansas City Section and what a […]
Oooooookay now. Let me say, these are not overly spicy at ALL. Matter of fact, I probably could have gone for more heat, but we’ll play it safe today unless you like living on the edge. See, this is how a 48-year old woman rebels. We grate frozen jalapeno on our potatoes. Isn’t life thrilling? […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrieeeedieeeeee. Let’s play a game! This is called: Tell Me What Movie Moment Traumatized You as a Kid. I’ll go first because we all know the obvious, if you’re a Gen X kid. The moment that changed everything. And that was Artax in the quick sand in NeverEnding Story. Hands down, saddest thing ever. “ARTAAAAAAX”. […]
At last, a June mixtape! (I forgot.) I won’t keep you. I have big plans today for making cheddar bread, broiled tomatoes (both for the blog!), some garden tidying and a bit of reading. But you reaaaaally need this extra breezy, ultra summery mixtape. It’s perfect for June! Roll down your windows and let it […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! Okay listen. This one’s for the booooooys. (sung like Martina McBride) But actually, it’s not only for the boys. Because you see, I do all our yard work. All the mowing, the edging, the weeding, the pruning, the primping. That’s me. This girl. Your girl. (<–sorry) But the one thing I do need Aaron’s […]
