Sunday Somethings

Hello, Sunday. It’s been a nice relaxing weekend here with family and friends and so much food. We’re digging into leftovers and so much pie and I spent 90% of yesterday on the couch watching some oldie GBBO, The Mighty Ducks and Gordon Ramsey. And…

Monday Musings

Monday Musings

Hello, Monday. It seems that every Monday lately I’ve been apologizing for not getting my Somethings out on Sunday. Well, it’s the week before Thanksgiving and the rush has begun, so my chance to sit down for a cuppa and a (virtual) chat didn’t come…

Hello Sunday.
 
I’m writing this on a cozy Saturday afternoon from my couch. The snow is falling outside (though not sticking) and Crawley is curled up on my lap while I watch what is I’m sure the first of many bad holiday rom-coms. It’s a good place to be.
 
Also knowing that I would realistically need 10 hours to sit and watch the new season of The Crown straight through, I haven’t started it yet.
 
We avoided a little health scare with Crawley the last few months but all seems to be well and I’m counting our blessings for that.
 
I can feel the season’s busy starting to creep up and I’m coming at it with a good attitude and baked goods (which I’ll be sharing soon!). I hope you can face what’s ahead with equal good spirits. And may your spirit not be broken.
 
Here’s what’s what this week:
 
The Friends are revealing all this week– and it’s a reminder that celebrities are people, too.
 
Speaking of friends, the secret to building and maintaining friendships.
 
Matchmaker, matchmaker make me a match.
 
Even though I’m Team Cake > Team Pie, I recognize it’s kind of unofficial Pie Week (as opposed to Pi Day). Here are some ideas for you.
 
Do you need to organize your digital life? Here here. I thought this was somewhat helpful.
 
The Challenger still gives me goosebumps.
 
Not that I ever need an excuse to cross the pond: The UK is T&L’s 2023 destination of the year. Take me back!
 
And if you’re Team Cake, here and here are some pumpkin pie alternatives.
 
Looking for a cozy Sunday meal? Reminding you of this beouf bourguignon.
 
If you’re looking for a new stuffing recipe, I think my mom’s is just the best.
 
That’s it! Have a great week.
