warm meals
there’s nothing better than a one pot meal. i especially like this one because it’s not one of those dumped tomatoes and feta cheese, TikTok bullshit meals. it’s a New York Times Recipe that is made interesting by high-quality olives and some charred lemon. but i promise it’s just as easy as the bullshit TikTok one pot recipes.
impress your friends, your family, yourself. try it this winter. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1025436-one-pot-chicken-and-rice-with-caramelized-lemon?smid=ck-recipe-iOS-share

a trip down memory lane
well, i haven't blogged in 12 years. which is wild because looking through here, i realized that i really do still like all of those things. annnd, i really really like being able to look through all of those things that i did and liked back then. the day to day stuff. its funny because i didn't get into the trips or travels (although during that time i did go on an epic road trip through the UK). really, i just wrote about what i liked that day. OMG, did i invent the gratitude journal? in any case, i don't think blogs are a thing anymore but i do like liking things so i'll give it a go again. nothing overly aesthetic or personal. just day to day joys. the way i romanticize europeans enjoying their lives.

biscuits
i had some extra cheese on hand so i scowled the internet for a recipe (cookie, cracker, bread....uh, biscuit) that i could make quickly (that is, without setting, rising) and that's ingredients i had on hand.
here's the recipe adapted from food.com

preheat to 350
melt 3 tablespoons butter (then let cool)
lightly beat 1 egg in large bowl
add a cup of milk, a dash of hot sauce and the cooled, melted butter to the egg. then mix a cup of grated extra sharp cheddar
in another bowl mix: 1 3/4 flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon sugar, hearty pinch of salt and cayenne pepper
add the dry mixture to the wet. mix until just blended
grease a muffin tin (12) and fill 'er up
top each muffin with about 1/4 tablespoon on asiago cheese
bake for 25 minutes
enjoy!!

bayonets & horses
therefore, in the spirit of humor and diplomacy, i present you with my interpretation of bayonets & horses.
bayonets (or rather an amazing military jacket from london fashion week) brought to you by WWD, aka, the bible
and
paint by number horses, aka, the only painting that i could actually complete
grilled cheese and homemade soup
i don't have time to spend time in the kitchen. i need to watch the debates, in between watching the giants while re-tweeting almost everything that chris rock tweets.
so dinner had to be easy - grilled cheese (with an extra sharp canadian cheddar) and homemade beef and vegetable soup (i made and froze it last week) in my A mug from Anthropologie
hot tea
snack time
that's why i love these mini brie wheels, fresh french bread and fresh squeezed apple/pomegranate juice (fall is here!)
did i mention the brie bites are only 70 calories per wheel. snack time just got a lot lighter.
