We’re into Birthday Month, which means I’m taking the next few weeks to pull out the best and recreate some of my favorite foods. After more than ten years at this schtick, it’s hard to come up with new ones every year, but what I’ve got coming up is actually pretty exciting. Starting with this homemade frozen vanilla custard.

Hello, Sunday.

Hello, friends! 

It feels like it’s been a minute, but the last few weeks I’ve been too busy to contemplate any sort of creativity. Meals have been the summer standbys (salad, taco, salad, taco) and free time? What’s that?

The gist I guess is to say that summer hasn’t been a bust. I’ve been out there, and today I got my outdoor wheels in motion and hope to up my cycling game for as long as the long days allow.

How are you? I hope you are well! Here’s what we’re talking about this week.

Scary AI. Yikes. It’s like a weird version of the Garbage Pail Kids.

The scientists who understood their obligation to humanity.  I really goes back to that great Jurassic Park quote – “Your scientists were so preoccupied with weather they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.“

Barbie is more than just a pretty face, says NASA.

Instant coffee, redeemed.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

I grew up in extreme heat and that’s why I don’t live in those places anymore. Here are some ideas to beat it, best you can.

Washing sheets presently.

If you can’t beat your sweet tooth, embrace it.  Some of us really can’t help it.

Are we all doing Barbenheimer? If so, here’s the gist. I’m not convinced I’ll be going to see Oppenheimer. Barbie, fo sho.

And finally, for your summer bounty.

Have a great week!

It’s been H.O.T. hot and you know I hate that. Limoncello spritz to the rescue.
