You’re either going to think I’m complete trash by the end of this post, or you’ll love meh with your entire blistered soul. We’re not going to talk about how everything costs one million dollars right now. It’s outrageously frustrating. So I say, when the times get stupid, we eat imitation lobster and love every […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRrrrrrrrrRRRRRRrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRR ah dah. I’ve decided I’m not into clapping. Clapping my hands. Not into it. Not like, in general, but when a musician puts his/her hands above their hands holding the mic in a dramatic clap, asking the audience to clap along. Oh no. Please don’t. None of this audience can properly clap. Especially not […]
Caprese Scones
AS IN, cheesy tomato summer biscuits. Like, look at that cheese. These are going to ruin you so good, so pony up, pigeons. We’re making basic scones, but adding an obscenely vibrant caprese twist that will have your heads falling off. La-heeeeeeet us peepeth. I know it looks like a lot (it might not look […]
Radishes with Pesto Butter
Veeeeeeery simple summer side dish comin’ at ya today. (<–not sure how I felt about “comin’ at ya.”) First of all, if you’ve never just casually snacked on radishes, what is your life? Crunchy, peppery, pungently satisfying. They’re like little mouth bombs of pleasure. AND THEN WE ADD IN PESTO BUTTER. We’re gonna need to […]
Chocolate Oats Pudding with Peanut Butter
Dessert alert! Dessert alert! This is your official warning! I can chill. Okay, you guys. It’s like, a pudding thing. A granola, chocolate-y, peanut butter pudding thing. I have no idea. It was one night earlier this summer when I was craving something sweet but not obnoxious. Something with texture but not stupid. Something that […]
Ricotta Dip with Honey, Lemon and Chives
Back with another side dish! Dip-style. And this one is an under-five minute no brainer. Zero cooking. Only spooning and snipping and drizzling and sprinkling. Also, don’t tell anyone but it’s a copy cat of my beloved French Market’s famous ricotta dip. Only theirs is fresh ricotta (which you can totally do!), and hand dipped, […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ii dd aa yy aa dd ii rr fffffffff. Who else in this crowd totally imagines themself as Denise Richards in Wild Things every time you climb out of a swimming pool? ‘Fess up, now. I do. I mean, there’s no universe in the past, now, or in the future that I have ever […]
Monthly Mixtape: Front Porch Lemonade and Straw In Your Teeth
Mornin’, cowboy! I’m getting you this mixtape a hair early in case you’d like to entertain your ears with something fresh this holiday weekend. Fresh but old. This is the very first country music mixtape I have ever made. Ever. Hold on hold on! Before you hurl your laptop off a cliff, you must know, […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: The Maid, What Alice Forgot, and The Hotel Nantucket
I want to make the (in da) book club joke so badly right but I’ve done it thrice times thrice already and I like what we have going on here. Let’s talk about some books today! Funnily enough I chose two about hotel life, and one about memory. The memory part’s not the funny part, […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRRRRRRamalamadingdong. I have many things to discuss today, all of which are . . . ahem, of equal importance (you’re like, yeah right), but we HAVE to start with Taylor’s new song. It’s only mandatory. Have you heard it? How many times have you listened so far, besides 400 million? And when do you plan […]
