Why yes I’m using the same photo from last year AND the year before but we’re unbothered by it. (my new word for 2024, but we’ll get back to that tomorrow.) Books! Let’s discuss. I read a total of 30 books in 2023. Which isn’t record-setting or anything. Matter of fact it’s significantly less than […]
Well heeeeey, and Happy New Year! Let’s ease in, okay? We’ll start with music today. I have a mixtape for you and it’s probably and most definitely 100% what you need. It’s a lot of ’70s vintage with a splash of ’90s goodness with a hair of current. And by current I mean a Taylor […]
How ’bout a lil’ nibble nibble? (<–sorry for that entire thing just now.) I’m always into little puff pastry bites. The way it flakes up in your mouth is illegally perfect. And then you add sweet caramelized onions and a pungent gorgonzola cheese and another sweet fig jam to it. Are you kidding? I’m not. […]
It’s a throwback day! (Flotsam should return next week. We’ll see.) Yeaaaars and years ago Aaron and I decided that we needed to record a Christmas song in order to become rich and famous, like most artists do. And while that definitely did not happen (the rich and famous part), we still got a song […]
I made you pie! I made us pie! I’m a pie maker! (not really.) Listen though, this is big. Big for me. I made a chocolate pie and it’s actually to die for. Look at that CENTER. Now I will say, I have the patience of a toddler hummingbird on crack, so I didn’t let […]
Iiiiiiit’s aaaaaaaa wraaaaaaa- I wouldn’t do that to you. Maybe. (I would.) Let’s look back at the past NINE YEARS of my wrapping paper style and how it’s evolved! Or devolved? Look, just keep that to yourself. I obsess over a wrapping paper look. It’s a whole vibe. A whole thing. It carries the mood. […]
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, […]
Voila, your Christmas morning breakfast! (don’t even argue.) If you’re not already completely obsessed with stratas, this is your sign. You have been granted ultimate permission to make your entire life about them. Why? Hi, eggs, cheese, bread, ham, your entire upper torso. Let us peepeth? (the answer is yes.) For the bread I went […]
Your Christmas jaaaaaams, bruh! (<—sorry) This mixtape might feel like a cop-out because it’s a collection of favorites from ALL my other Christmas mixtapes. But listen, if you have yet to delve into the past six or so of those, this will get you there. When it comes to Christmas music, I’m a bit persnickety. […]
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrit’s beginning to look a lot . . .like . . . I do love December 1st. It’s officially the OFFICIAL time of Christmas officialness. (I’m good with words.) There’s a different kind of magic in the air today, don’t you think?! The lights are twinkling in the streets, the elf is back (ugh), the […]
