Swooning over this charging pad

I don’t know about you, but I have lost my appetite, two meals a day has been working for me

I lost my craving for coffee in the beginning of the pandemic, but I am back on the caffeine train

Cheers to the weekend.

And so it is Labor Day weekend, don’t get emotional get cooking with these recipes

If you are not the cook, but the lounging grazer, than check out NPR’s book list

Labor day sales are happening and there seems to be a Buy Now, Pay Later mentality taking over, what is that all about?

Speaking of shopping…I don’t need this, but this could bring great joy to food prep

I canned peaches and now I’m on to Jersey tomatoes using this food mill:

NOT ANOTHER COOKING SHOW

MSC Cruises is sailing in the Mediterranean Covid free, hot damn

There is a housing frenzy, basically the new gold rush and these cities are becoming the top places to live

The Good House – I was blown away by the start and flow of this book. I was immediately transported to this New England town and felt as though I was ever presence in each characters movement. As the characters developed I became so invested in reaching the end, hoping for my favorite characters to come out on top.

The Dinner – can best be described as the European Gone Girl and I think with a better ending!

The story takes place throughout the course of a meal at a very exclusive restaurant. Two sets of parents must discuss the events that took place with their sons as well as how they plan to resolve what can only be described as extremely shocking behavior. This book draws you in with its great character development and before you know it, you are trying to decide what you would do.
