Cooking: Tomb Raider: The Official Cookbook & Travel Guide
When I was a kid, one of my father/daughter bonding activities was at the arcade. My dad liked playing video games and he passed that onto me. We didn’t have a lot of systems in our house growing up because my mom wasn’t a huge fan of video games (fair enough) so I mostly playedContinue reading “Cooking: Tomb Raider: The Official Cookbook & Travel Guide”
Okay but can you name 5 of their songs?
Gatekeeping in music is like grilled cheese to tomato soup. They just go together. It’s how the world has always been. If you like an artist (like REALLY like them), you can’t believe that anyone else likes them nearly as much as you like them especially someone who likes something other than all the thingsContinue reading “Okay but can you name 5 of their songs?”
Cooking: Tasting Paris: 100 Recipes to Eat Like a Local
It’s November 2019. I’m in a small house in Sebastopol, CA – one of my absolute favorite cities in the world (coincidentally enough, most of my favorite cities start with an “S”: Sebastopol, Salem, Seattle… but that’s another story). I’m opening birthday presents from my now husband even though we 100% do not do birthdayContinue reading “Cooking: Tasting Paris: 100 Recipes to Eat Like a Local”
Cooking: Half Baked Harvest (Pt. 1)
I can’t remember where I was when I stumbled upon the Half Baked Harvest cookbook but I’m sure it was while endlessly perusing a bookstore with Jacob. I do remember that when I picked up this cookbook, I was immediately stunned by the beauty of it. There were so many different things to cook! ItContinue reading “Cooking: Half Baked Harvest (Pt. 1)”
2022 in Cards
Every year in December, I do a tarot spread for the year to come. I’ve never really been a huge fan of doing readings for myself. I can talk myself out of anything! Any card can be warped to mean what I want it to mean because it’s just me, myself, and I. I’m terribleContinue reading “2022 in Cards”
Cooking: Persiana
This was my first cookbook in my “use only one cookbook per week” adventure. I had already made one of the recipes (the soup) and had been craving it for a few days. Plus, it had just started to be soup season. This was before I decided I wanted to blog what I was cookingContinue reading “Cooking: Persiana”
My Cookbook Addiction
I have always loved cooking. It is something that calms my mind, especially after a long day. My dad was always in the kitchen, whipping up a storm and I was his sous chef. He is the type of person who can look at the fridge and/or pantry and make something from there. Me? NotContinue reading “My Cookbook Addiction”
Happy Birthday to Me
Look out world, I have just entered my mid-30s. I have no qualms over getting older. My aunt told everyone she was 26 my entire life. It took me a few years before I realized that she can’t turn 26 every year. In fact, I only found out her real age when she died andContinue reading “Happy Birthday to Me”
My Reading Journey and Why Book Bullies Are the Worst.
This is my perfect rainy day: Me, on the couch, curled into a burrito blanket. A lamp, providing the perfect amount of light in the dim, sunless day. A cup of tea, freshly brewed next to me. The sound of the rain on the roof and windows. Incense burning, creating an intoxicating and welcoming smellContinue reading “My Reading Journey and Why Book Bullies Are the Worst.”
