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
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrri.d.a.y.y.y.y.yy.y.y.y.y. YOU GUYS. I have the funniest story to start your Friday. I’m telling you, I felt like I was in the damn Twilight Zone, and you need to know about this so that you can pull this prank on your family. Or Taylor Swift lover. SO, last Saturday evening after a loooong day of […]
Lemon Poppy Seed Cake
Is it dessert or breakfast? Or both? Whatever you choose to call it, it’s your business. Let’s eat cake! You in? Peepeth is underway. I ended up using only one lemon, but I’m still a good person. We’re putting yogurt in it which will add this smooth, tangy element to it, and girl, it’s pretty […]
Weeknight Chicken Nachos
Hello, my favorite new wing-it weeknight PLATTER ‘O BLISS. But I’m not dramatic about it or anything. Nachos. We all love them. We all forget what an easy whip-it-up situation they can be and completely are. This isn’t even really a recipe. It’s just a springboard to get that noggin of yours juiced up (sorry) […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeederrerereree! If you were a mall, what stores would you have? That’s an odd question, let me revamp that. Let’s say you were the PLAZA. The KC Plaza. And you were getting bought by new owners, and they needed a list of stores to bring to the Plaza, what would those stores be besides Aesop, […]
Monthly Mixtape: Crooning Jukebox and Hot Roller Locks
It’s my 100th public mixtape! Also yes I keep posting photos of my garden because little else matters. You can dig. I realized recently that I’ve never made a 1950s mixtape. Never! Not once! I mean, I’ll throw a few gems in other mixes, but nothing straight-up dedicated to that decade slash era. The horror! […]
Rigatoni with Roasted Tomatoes, Arugula and Bacon
Let’s have pasta! But like, with bacon. (I felt the collective perk-up.) But listen, we’re also violently throwing in some arugula so it could really pass for a salad. Don’t quote me on that. This is one of those meals that falls under whatever theme I came up with at the beginning of the year. […]
Spiced Pork with Coconut Noodles
I already can’t wait for your new life. Because wipe your glasses and look again. YES, girl. It’s silky coconut noodles topped with spiced (like, Chinese 5-spice. get on board.) pork, sautéed veggies and buckets of fresh crunchy things on top. Yuh huh. Yeppers. (Aaron h a t e s the word peppers. I say […]
