FRRRRRRRRRRRRRaeiouday! The other day Will asked me, “Mom, do ghosts have udders?” and I just feel like that needs to be right here, opening this blog post, for the world to see. Let’s take a moment to appreciate that question. Do ghosts have udders? I didn’t even answer him. I just looked at him, hugged […]

No-Knead Parmesan and Poppy Seed Crusty Bread
I’ve started and stopped and re-written and stopped and backspaced this opener thirteen fifty times because are you kidding there are NO WORDS. Your new favorite no-knead bread. To die for. Show stopping. Tiny melted surprise parmesan pockets of glory. Crispy crusty outside speckled with poppy seed. The most comforting pillowy texture inside. And you […]
Seafood Noodle Soup
It’s really just shrimp, but when you say seafood you’re going places. I made this soup a couple times leading up to deciding I needed to shoot and slap it on the blog for you. I’m not sure what took me so long because it’s totally a this blog type of recipe. Simple, vibrant, not […]

FFFFFFFerder. Want to know what I love most about a court trial? THE SKETCHES. Who made that up, you think? It’s not because cameras aren’t allowed because we’ve all binged true crime documentaries like unhinged nutcases. Listen, you can’t have a legit trial without a solid courtroom sketch artist. I remember being somewhat curious about […]
We Got New Kitchen Windows! And Now I Want 500 More.
Remember last fall when I found that photo of a French casement window in an abandoned castle on Pinterest and was like, “I WANT THAT.” (said like pirate ship lady in Napoleon Dynamite) Remember? Well we got some! Sort of. In a non-abandoned castle way. Want to see? Of course you do. So they’re not […]
Maple Braised Pork with Apples and Israeli Couscous
Look at me, coming at you with something completely different today! We’ll be fine. Sometimes I forget about pork tenderloin. Don’t tell it I said that. It’s just one of those proteins that lives in the back corner drawer of my cerebrum with quinoa and liquid smoke. (does one ever use liquid smoke? I’m still […]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFroopy doopy. So we all picked up on Taylor’s secret message in that long note she left on Instagram yesterday, right? APRIL NINTH. Dude you should have seen me the moment I saw that first rando capital letter in the middle of her first sentence. “This is a secret message, Aaron! I know she does […]
Slow-Roasted Tomato and Turkey Rigatoni
Winner winner slow-roasted tomato and turkey rigatoni dinner! (did I do that right?) This! THIS. It’s pure insanity. Delicious, luscious, succulent umami craziness and you need to make the rest of your life about it. Or at least this weekend. Pick one. It’s not laborious in the least, but it takes time. So plan ahead. […]
Strawberry and Almond Puff Pastry Tart with Mascarpone
I mean, you can see where this is going, right? But see, it’s not just a tart for this weekend. (but make it this weekend) It’s really an anytime tart! Tarte. Tart. Toot. I think they all work. First of all, what’s the temp going to be where you are on Sunday? Here? ONE. ONE […]

FRRRRRRRRRRRReederleedee. When was the last time you peed your pants in public? Perhaps that’s not as solid a start as it was in my head. Maybe it would help if I remind you of the time I peed my pants in public. Yes, this is an actual blog post I’m writing in real life. Maybe […]
