Just the name makes me want a crema, Laura.
Sounds like a lovely brunch, Calli. Yum.
We had black-eyed peas last night and an Armenian New Year pudding that my friend made and brought... along with tales of how much she hated helping her mom and aunt make it as a kid, ha!
Tonight we're going to see the lights at the botanical gardens where we got married, aw. I love a light display.
Welp, 2023, y'all. Got nothing but love for all of you and a wish for so much good for you this year.
I'm gonna have hush puppies for breakfast and no one can stop me. Begin as you mean to go on.
Happy New Year! I am awakeish. I fell asleep before I finished the book I was reading last night, and I have a ton to do before our guests show up in 3 1/2 hours.
Happiest birthday wishes to Susan W! I hope it is a fabulous start to a wonderful new year. May it be filled with love and joy.
Happy Birthday, Susan!
Happy birthday, Susan!
Happy bday, Susan!
Had lots of Prosecco and delicious ham at our friends’ last night. They live around the corner so very convenient. We just got back from a long walk with the dog and now Bob is making banana pancakes. Later I’ll make black eyed pea risotto.
Happy birthday, Susan!
I am here to report: we had an ordinary day.
I am so happy to hear that! Here's hoping the better-than-ordinary days you deserve are in your near future.
Happy birthday, Susan!
We stayed up until midnight watching Strange World and Glass Onion and drinking champagne (fizzy sour cherry lemonade for the kids) and eating too much cheese. Today we're sleeping late, taking things slowly, and kicking off a new legacy board game (Legacy of Isla Nublar, it's a Jurassic Park prequel).
I stayed up until this morning, cleaning and life-prepping. Beginning as I will be going on with 2023.
Made Hoppin' John with faro, my new favorite grain. And then had a surprise client appointment that was a total delight.
This New Year was the epitome of quiet and [channeling Sybil Ramkin] a quiet joy, avec no stressing at all.
I really could get used to this.
The beginning of 2023 bears the good news/bad news of letting go of lots of friendships that I am sad to see go, but also understand the partings as being evolution in action.
I look forward to DSD (doing something different) in all areas of my life and I'm wishing each and every one of you a moving forward that happens exactly as you choose.
Now, I'm off to cook up a mess of collard greens and possibly weilding my Uproot some more. I really am obsessed.
