Sunday Somethings
Hello, Sunday. Hello, 2017! New year, thank goodness. While 2016 was seemingly horrible to the collective, I can’t say it was all that bad for me. Most of it was business as usual, though I did add a furry friend to my household, and Crawley…
Sunday Somethings
Happy all the holidays to you! I hope that you’re enjoying the day, whether it be in holiday or regular Sunday fashion. I’m home in Michigan and Mom and I are making a lazy Sunday of it. Little B might be home later, but…
Linzer Thumbprint Cookies
Linzer Thumbprint Cookies are a less fussy version of the favorite Linzer sandwich cookies, made with an almond flour and filled with jam.

Hello, Sunday.
The above is what happened when, one day, I thought it might be cute to take an impromptu Christmas picture since I was wearing a red striped shirt, and Crawley adorably jumped on my back. Clearly, success.
In other things, it’s cold, yo! While I wish with all my heart that I was spending this day under a blanket, adulting must be done, and my couch will be an end-goal after a very busy day.
I hope you are all well and that your holiday shopping is complete so that you can truly stop and enjoy the season. The lights come down in a little over a week, so best to soak it all up now while we can before winter is just cold, long and ugly, rather than “ooh, lights!”
If you plan on being one with your couch today, here’s some fodder for you.
Optional illusions always baffle me. Check these!
RIP, Alan Thicke. I’m not embarrassed to admit that this was the first celebrity death that actually made me tear up. I loved Growing Pains so much as a kid, and so wished that I was a Seaver. Thanks for all the laughter and love.
The tragedy in Aleppo. It’s happening, and this is how we can all help from our corners of the world.
Women, how far we’ve come. I can’t believe some of these practices had survived into the 70s! That’s like, Mom’s generation.
He finally married her. How a Texas hospital fulfilled a dying man’s last wish.
“This Court is not aware of, nor has Plaintiff alleged the existence of, any actual fruit referred to as a “crunch berry.” Examples of why everyone hates us.
Remember Mom’s short ribs? Well, Jessica does a version and I’m 100% sure it’s on my to-make list for 2017.
If you have time for some holiday DIY, make these! They are fun, easy, and glitter!
Want ginger cookies? THESE ARE THE ONES.
And finally, terminally ill boy dies in Santa’s arms, and we all fall apart.
Have a great week!
Roasted Mushroom Soup
Creamy roasted mushroom soup is perfect for a cold day- with hearty mushrooms and rich creamy to give you all the cozy vibes.
Kimchi Fried Rice
Kimchi fried rice with scallion salad is a perfect way to use up leftover rice, with bacon for smokiness and kimchi for lots of flavor.
Sunday Somethings
Hello, Sunday.
Well vacation’s over and I”m back at it hard until Christmas. The snow is falling (and will keep falling for the next 100 years, apparently) and The Sound of Music is on the telly. I was going to watch The Holiday but something about me just wanted to be one with Maria. Kate Winslet will no doubt happen later tonight, but I’m enjoying Captain Von Trapp very much.
Did I ever tell you that I have a major girl crush on Kate Winslet?
I hope your holidays, whatever you celebrate are underway and the season is bringing to you some joy. After the doozy of 2016 we’ve all endured, the last few weeks are really a time to hoot and holler.
The internet? Well, I’ve got some of that.
Smiles. This guy danced with a bunch of random people to make the best dance video ever.
Wine. Brings out the best in us all.
Paris makes all public transport free to combat the smog problem. I’m not sure this would work in Chicago, but here’s to trying. #SavethePlanet
The perfect Christmas ad. No, really. Watch it all.
This is a little late, but this tribute to the Brazilian soccer players is the best.
Girl power. #Badass.
Men vs. Women. Yup.
See the world in 119 days? I’m in, as long as I can bring my furry housemate. He’ll hate it.
Santa is an idea, the best kind of idea, and he should come in any damn color he wants.
And finally, a reminder to pay it forward.
Have a great week!
During do-re-mi.
