Another summer, another sooooong! I know I don’t have to tell you about our summer tradition of visiting family in Little Rock, AR. Old news, yes. And I know I don’t have to tell you that each year we pick a song from the ’80s or ’90s, slow it down and vibe it out. You […]
Friday Flotsam
Freeeeeeeeeeeeeei-deeeeeeeeeeei! I’m about to ruffle so many feathers, but I just gotta say something. Let’s stop doing this to donuts. Donuts were fineeeee the way they were. I’d like to propose an indefinite pause on all the bedazzling to these poor things. A simple glazed donut is perfection. Maybe dusted with cinnamon in the fall. […]
Farfalle with Pancetta, Pine Nuts and Arugula
Let’s please obsess over this together. Because there is no way you can understand how delicious this mess is. Farfalle pasta – hello, fun. Toasted pine nuts – hello, fancy. Diced crispy pancetta – hello, divine. And wilted earthy arugula – hello, a salad. Just kidding. Don’t tell anyone I said that. This is a […]
White Bean, Tomato and Onion Salad with an Herb Dressing
Happy 4th! Do you need a last-minute salad for today? You need a last-minute salad for today. I have a last-minute salad for today. And hark this, zero cooking. We’ll zip up a simple and pungent herb dressing with a little bit of garlic and violently toss it over a can of creamy cannellini beans, […]
Monthly Mixtape: Lingering Nights and Hazy Starlight
July! Does that stress you out? I feel like we need some jazz this month. Some easy piano grooves. A bit of saxophone. Maybe a trumpet here and there. Something cheerful and moody to carry us through these bloated and humid summer days. Between playing uber driver to the pool and back, camp director for […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreh! Dah! Flert! Okay, what is turmeric soap? Besides the words turmeric and soap back to back and it being soap made of turmeric. What exactly is it good for? And have we been missing out on the fountain of youth this entire time? I saw this reel the other day and it wa- wait! […]
Friday Flotsam
Frrrrrrrrrrrrrri’m back! Yeah, I was gone a little bit. Didn’t notice? Oh. First of all, how’s your summer going? How are we all feeling? When does school start? I’m just kidding. Sort of. OKAY – it’s very very very hot outside, and we need to take a poll. Because I’m normally in a certain camp […]
Sundried Tomato and Rosemary Focaccia
OooooooWEE! Yes we’re baking bread in the middle of summer, and it’s wonderful. I say “middle of summer” – when technically summer starts this week. What’s the solstice? 20th? 21st? Hold on, let me look. 20th! So we’re having summer solstice focaccia. My grand plan all along. We’ve made a lot of bread on this […]
Pickle Juice Salad Dressing
Have you even HEARD of this? Oh, we’re making it immediately. I saw a video of a dude on IG making this pickle juice dressing using the remaining pickle juice in the bottom of a jar, which is my life thrice a week, given the amount of pickles my offspring snarf. Um, it is amazing. […]
Salmon, Bacon and Roasted Corn Subs
We’re having summer subs! <–it’s a thing. This is bonkers good. Let me break it down for you. We’ll broil some corn, even though I say roasted up there. It’s straight up broiled. And straight up from the frozen bag. You know this trick of mine. I showed you guys yeaaaars and years ago and […]
