I’ve never understood why it’s not firey. Fiery makes me say it like this – feary. But with an English accent. And a tiny troll on the r. Fearrry. And with the corners of my mouth turned down. And I’m wearing lace around my neck. And I’m holding a parasol. With fringe. Never mind. Let’s […]
Grilled Asparagus Salad with Peas and Mint
And avocado and feta and garlic and lemon! But you know that title would have sent me straight to BLOG PRISON. You guys remember this grilled summer deliciousness from Oregon? Yeah, finally getting around to posting it. Man, blog prison must have its front door open. I think the guard is even waving at me. […]
Friday Flotsam
FRRRRRRRAH! duh. How are you with honking? I don’t mean like, what does it look like when your hand lays on the horn. More like, do you honk? Is honking something you’re into? Are you a breezy honker? (“You can’t say you’re breezy! It negates the breezy!”) I can’t honk. I can’t do it. Even […]
Bev’s Imaginary Book Club: City of Girls, Daisy Jones and Six, and Where the Crawdads Sing
I don’t know if this can actually be counted as “book club” since it’s 6:15am and there’s zero rosé involved. One can dream. At last! A post I’ve been promising since the Ice Age. Finally had the chance yesterday to sit down on the dirty floor in the front hallway, rummage through a cramped bookshelf […]
Buttermilk Shrimp Tacos
JUST look at that crunch. Because yeah, we’re frying. (!) Flash frying. (!!) And I don’t think anyone can get upset about it. Unless you hate life. Beyond THAT plot twist, listen to what we’re doing with the shrimp. We’re marinating in buttermilk. Buttermilk! Remember my Buttermilk Cornish Game Hens from back in January? It’s […]
Friday Flotsam
FFFFFFFFFRSAMDAYIDFLRFF. (<—miss me? don’t answer that.) Does anyone actually know what a sump pump looks like? No. No one does. Not even the men or women that install them. No one knows what a sump pump looks like. I don’t know what a sump pump looks like. It dawned on me the other day that […]
Seared Ahi Tuna Bowls
Oh heeeeey I’m officially back with recipes. Summer recipes! Starting with raw fish! Ha! Oh. So I wouldn’t necessarily call this a poke bowl, only because I seared the ahi tuna. This has been a recipe that I’ve wanted to make for so long, I still had my baby teeth. (that came out way grosser […]
Our New (Past) Life in Oregon Forever (er, 30 days): Part FOUR
I swear this is the very last post about Oregon! . . . brah. And again, I have infinitely deep issues when it comes to narrowing down photos, but I promise there are no more than 58,230 images in this post. Not bad, huh! I feel like it’s growth. This post is the FINAL WEEK […]
Monthly Mixtape: Clunk Music Changed My Entire Life and I’m Serious
Ohhhh, Clunk. I’ll never have the right words to express just how pivotal Clunk Music Hall was to so many of us 20 years (!!!) ago, but here goes. Oh look there I am with my old band! That wasn’t it. I just got distracted. Clunk. I can’t imagine WHAT I’d be tormenting my ears […]
Our New Life on the Oregon Coast Forever: Part Three
I say “new life” as we pack the entire beach house today and begin the three-day journey home tomorrow. Ha! Oh. So – week three in Oregon! And it’s another massive post because I’m just awful at narrowing down photos and trimming the fat. I have to show you everything! IS THAT SO BAD? Don’t […]
