It’s May! And I’ve got the most cheerful mixtape for you. Not cheerful like hokey. Cheerful as in, feel good. Upbeat. Bob-your-head music. Because man, the blooms are fragrant, the markets are open and the wine is chilled. It is May. I suppose not all of these songs are what one would call “cheerful”. There’s […]
Side Dish Sally comin’ at ya! (Who’s Sally?) I hope you’re feeling like the most simple side dish of all time today. You like sides, right? I’m into sides. Carby sides. ROASTED sides. Sides flecked with fresh herbs and spritzed with lemon. This is where we are. And they’re not just roasted potatoes, yawn. We […]
My brain is full-on picnic mode. From here on out. Blankets and flowers and grass and snackies. You in? You don’t have to make this Italian Chicken French Bread (I almost typed Bench Fred.) for a picnic, but I feel like it’s giving off major outside vibes. Yet it still has melty cheese on top. […]
FRRRRRRRRRRRRRReedoomeeloopeepooreerooneenoo. My toothbrush sounds like Lin-Manuel Miranda in Hamilton. You’re like, “okay I’m getting coffee for this one.” It does! It does, though. It’s an electric toothbrush (is that the word? electric? feels weird.) and sometimes when I’m moving from tooth to tooth it will vibrate in such a way that creates this buzzing sound […]
HAYEALTH! This is the conundrum with food blogging. Let me tell you. I’m going to tell you. Hold on, let me refill my coffee. And froth my milk. You know this has to be done a certain way. One sec. Okay! This is the conundrum with food blogging in this world. So often I get […]
Beans! Braised beans. On toast. We’re so British right now. But like, look at that crisped up pepperoni. We’re going places, you guys. First of all, you should know that this was surprisingly a total hit at my house for my kids on my street in my town in this state. Complete shock to me. […]
FRRRRRRRRRRRRRimuh! I mean day. Can you hear radio broadcasts in teeth fillings? You know, like when one “feels a storm brewin’” in their knee joints or their shoulder pins. Is it the same? I’m reading All The Light We Cannot See (first of all, I can already tell it’s going to be one of the […]
WARNING: this dinner contains cilantro. A lot of cilantro. AKA: the taste of dish soap to a bunch of you weirdos. (jk i love you) Proceed if you dare. Or just sub parsley because that’s super easy and this is amazingly tasty. With the cilantro, that is. Never mind. You know how much I heart […]
I am embarrassingly late with this month’s mixtape, but – better late than never! Right? Hello? . . . anyone? The even more embarrassing thing is that I started this playlist back in early-to-mid March. We had a nice sunny warm day and were sitting out back on the patio, reminiscing about going to shows, […]
FRRRRRRRRRRoodyoodyoody! I’ve come to know something about myself lately. And I can’t decide if it’s attitude or age or the general handout of life drama. You tell me.
