Hello, Sunday.
We’re getting a taste of fall this weekend before we jump back into summer temps and I’m loving it- and just sad that we’ll be seeing 80s again as well roll through the week I just want to change over into my fall decor and light my vanilla-tobacco candles and I can’t get into that while trying not to sweat in summer temps. Hopefully we’ll get there soon enough.
Otherwise, I’m ready to get back to my regularly scheduled programming after the hoopla of the Olympics, DNC and the US Open. My stack of books have piled up and I’ve been spending way too much time on the couch/on social than I know is good for me, but it’s been too hard to pull away (I mean have you been watching any of the tennis? World class!). Resolving to get out of door before I’m stuck inside for the long haul of winter and soaking up the Vit D that I know my body needs.
I hope you also give yourself the time and grace to give your body what it needs.
As for the week? Let’s get to it.
Dorito dye makes mice “invisible.” Um, what? Science is cool and all but should we be eating this? I do love, love me some Doritos though…
Olympians never cease to amaze but paralympians? That’s a whole other level of WOW.
While I’m still not sold on books on tape, over the past few years I’ve really gotten into podcasts to make the time go by on my daily hour-long stupid walk for my stupid mental health. I just recently discovered this one thanks to my friend A, and I like it and think you may, too. Today, Explained. I also love Money with Katie– a never miss!
For the love of Caesar Salad. It’s so good, right and I definitely don’t make it enough. Looking for a good recipe? this one’s a keeper.
I’m the first one to hop on an international flight at a moment’s notice (weekend European jaunt, anyone?) but this list is convincing me it may be worth sticking around stateside once in a while.
Is Mary Poppins my favourite movie ever? Hmm. It’s tough but it’s definitely in the top 3. The complicated legacy of Mary Poppins through the eyes of Julie Andrews.
Fridgescaping? Get outta here, but here are some tricks and tips to organise your fridge like a chef. I may be implementing a few of these to avoid the build up of questionable items in the back of mine.
How do you feel about cruising? To be fair, I’ve only been on one but I feel like maybe they’re not for me. It’s a long time to be on a boat, but a lot of people like them. Could you live on one forever though? It’s a thing!
US Open support dogs? LOVE IT.

Since baking season is upon us, I’m here to remind you of the ultimate brown sugar pound cake. MMM. I made it this weekend and it’s truly one of the best.
Have a great week!
