Hello, Sunday. Hello, June! I can’t believe that we’re already in June. After two years when time seemed to craawwwwwwwl at the slowest tortoise’s pace, this one is the hare on crack. Keeping it light today in these heavy times. I’m staring at a jam…
Oh dear, is it hot outside. How about we not cook with this Vietnamese Green Papaya Salad?
Hello, Sunday.
I hope that everyone is enjoying a relaxing weekend, whether or not you have Monday off. I’m spending it with some of my bests, so what can be better than that?
This week was heavy and even though I don’t have kids, it’s been hard for me to shake the events of late. I mean, I am human, and this problem that we face just seems to be more and more hopeless with each subsequent tragedy.
But hope we must find, somewhere. Let’s do our best.
Anyway, here are a few nuggets that caught my eye:
Related: an antidote to despair.
Is sabbatical life really as good as they say? Apparently so, and where can I sign up?
In watching my mom age gracefully, I’ve never been more convinced that the answer to how to keep moving as you grow older is to never stop.
How to say no, politely. I’d surely appreciate it!
What is keema spaghetti you ask? Something that we should all try!
Edible burrito tape. Um, sure? I guess?
I don’t love driving but this road trip might change my mind…
Also, ice cream for summer. My favorite. Well, one of them!
That’s it. Enjoy the day!
This fizzy ginger citrus drink is a fresh, summer take on a mocktail that will certainly help beat the heat, without alcohol, to keep you hydrated.
Last vacation post, I promise. But I couldn’t close the #PlayinOnLaPlaya book without telling you about what was perhaps the most charming pit stop, a little village in the southeast corner of the island called Cala d’Or.
Hello, Sunday.
It was a long week. Did it feel like a long week to anyone else? Time is weird.
As summer tends to do, the calendar is filling up faster than I can keep track. A good problem to have for sure after almost two years of half-heartedly made plans and few visitors!
I’m excited to get outside for most of it. My hiking shoes and bathing suits are ready!
I hope that you’re going to be kicking off summer with a bang next weekend. Until then, here are some things that made me go, huh.
I’m sure that I’m not the only one that died of dysentery regularly as a kid. As such, I found this read about the actual Oregon Trail quite interesting!
Love Colin Firth. And he is definitely my favorite Darcy, no matter what he thinks!
Men want the 50s housewife after the kids are born. Um. Yeah, hard pass for me.
Hard YES for me! Women’s soccer finally wins equal pay!
I know I just got back from vacation myself, but seeing all my insta-friends traipsing around on vacation has made me want to go back all over again. Vacation envy is real.
Do people actually eat those amazingly beautiful cakes on Instagram? I assure you that everything you see on my feed gets consumed in my household.
Did you ever hear about the “dance plague“? Weird and fascinating and not as funny as it sounds.
If you look on the recipes page of THB, you’ll see loads of ice cream recipes, churn and no-churn. It’s an obsession that borders on problematic. If you are too scared to join the at-home ice cream club, here’s a quick guide to get you started.
The new Downton. Go see it! So good!
Have a great week!
Well, we just got into the groove of hot days and cool meals, lighter fare and small bites as temps rose towards summer levels and…just like that we’re back in sweatpants and eating heartier bowls. Still, I’m trying to channel warmer times and for that,…
As predicted (and lamented) every year, we’ve skipped from winter straight to summer here and with 86 degree temps all weekend, we’re jumping head first into ice cream season. Taking it easy this first go of the season with a creamy Nutella no-churn ice cream.…
Hello, Sunday.
How’s everyone this fine day? I’m staring down a pretty big to-do list today but excited to get after it. Yesterday was also quite productive, but my OG plans got derailed by an impromptu decision to paint my closet. Weird to paint a closet? Maybe, but I love it.
When sitting down the write today’s post, I thought back to the news as I heard it and couldn’t of anything good that I’d heard. Granted, there’s always bad news, but even that, it seemed like terrible news stayed out of my awareness this week and that I suppose is a blessing.
Here are few snippets I did find, and I hope you’re reading them with a nice bevvy and feet up.
Parents sue their son for not giving them grandchildren. What the WHAT? I say that he should countersue if he HAS a kid for expenses. How ridiculous.
Liberty no more. Scary.
Why do some things just taste better frozen? Science.
HBO is ruining all the Mr. Darcys. The title of that made me laugh, but then I started watching The Staircase and I couldn’t even find Colin Firth in there…
Very much looking forward to eating a chipper on the beach in Wales this summer. Simple pleasures indeed.
Are you prone to pull a Sally Albright when ordering? Here are some things to consider if you’re ordering off-menu.
I miss my iPod daily (I left it on an airplane in 2019 in a very uncharacteristic move). Should I buy one before it’s too late?
It’s bathing suit seasons and this is my favorite brand – great for us sporty gals.
I’m trying to figure out what to eat and drink in the sweltering hot days again, and this weekend I whipped up some gingerade and mango chicken salad to get the season started.
That’s it. Have a great week!
Ready for a road trip? We moved on from our city adventures and head to the northeast or so corner of Mallorca to a little resort town called Capdepera. We picked up our mini-electric toy car (which Ham still misses daily, it seems), found the…
