Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit’s my birthdaaaaay! 48. Is that not bananas? FORTY EIGHT. What on actual earth. It feels good, ya know? It’s right up the nostril cavern of 50, but I’m feeling it! Of course I still need to figure out how to add more softness to my aging hair, and take the time to trim and […]

Ham, Mint and Brie Sandwiches
Sandwich night! (also known as Save Me night.) It’s nothing novel, but I love this sandwich. Fancy enough to pass for an oh-la-la dinner, but simple enough to whip up on a Wednesday before soccer practice. Because look at that melted brie. Sister, please. The ham is savory and smoked, the mint earthy and bright, […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR i d a a a e e e e e e e e a a a a ha ahh h h ahaha hah . We have to talk about tinted chapsticks. This is what I need in a severe way. I have a lot of Burts Bees, and you know I love these shimmer […]
Tomato Butter
Yes I’m still all about tomatoes, which is truly the only way to be right now. But hello, tomato butter. TOMATO BUTTER. (!) Have you ever made tomato butter? I’m going to say tomato butter so many times in this post we’ll have no idea what the words even mean anymore. Tomatobuttertomatobuttertomatobutter. It’s an August […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRududu. This is going be a short one! Usually through the week as absurdities pop into my head I jot them down on paper to share with you all. And this week, every time a little rando thought crawled into my cerebrum I said to myself, “I’ll remember that.” Spoiler alert. I didn’t. I’ll tell […]
Summer Tomato Pie
This recipe is what I LIVE FOR. Not to be hyperbolic about it. But also 100% to be hyperbolic about it. If you have yet to make or eat a summer tomato pie, well frankly I’ve led you astray. This is the proper and only way to summer. That is, if you love tomatoes and […]
Monthly Mixtape: Whirring Limbs and Fizzing Brims
Let’s take a moment to appreciate that the high in Kansas City today is SEVENTY NINE. If we’re not violently flinging doors and windows open this very instant we are done here. Also, time for a mixtape! An August mixtape. It’s my birthday month so clearly you’re obligated to listen. This one is gooooood. It’s […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrr r r r r rsam! What. I can taste my eyedrops. TASTE THEM. I can taste my eyedrops. Let me back up. Remember last week when I thought I scratched my eyeball and had to rush to the eye doctor immediately after publishing this post? And come to find out it wasn’t an actual […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: Demon Copperhead, The Girls in the Stilt House and Swan Song
Let’s go to the bookies! (that was supposed to sound like “let’s go to the movies” but didn’t quite work.) Ohhhhhh, you guys. These three. These three books. Man oh man. Geez, Louise. Good golly, Miss Molly. Hold me, Rhonda. Help me, Susan. Stop it, Sally. I can chill. All three vastly different, but equally […]
Puff Pastry Peach Cups
I could have done more with these, but I didn’t. And I feel like that’s exactly why you’re here. Look how simple! This is a four-ingredient situation. Puff pastry + peaches + sugar + powdered sugar + egg. Five ingredients. My bad. All we’re really doing is coating the diced peaches with a little bit […]
