Here are just a few quick things I wanted to share. You may or may not care about any of them.
(That’s just a disclaimer to make your life easier.)
1. I saw this on Pinterest the other night and it makes me laugh every time I read it. This totally expresses how I felt in every math class I was ever in.
2. I loved this list by Alyssa featuring ten healthy recipes for the 4th of July. It will totally counterbalance the hot dogs and chips and queso I plan to eat to celebrate America.
3. Speaking of recipes, I also found this recipe for dried strawberries on Pinterest. I made them yesterday and they didn’t really turn out.
This has also happened to me with zucchini and squash chips. They don’t ever seem to really dry out the way they’re supposed to. And I cooked those dang strawberries on 100 degrees for at least four hours.
Where am I going wrong?
4. Several of you asked last week what book I was reading. It’s Anna Quindlen’s new book, Lot of Candles, Plenty of Cake.
I like it, but I’m a big fan of the memoir.
5. I’m sure many of you are more sophisticated and have a finer television palette than I do, but I’m currently watching the new season of Real Housewives of New York City.
One of the housewives ends her intro in the opening credits by saying, “HOLLA!” without a trace of irony. And it makes a little part of me die inside every time I hear it. Grown women don’t need to say HOLLA unless they’re half-joking.
6. And while we’re on the subject of bad T.V., is anyone else in love with the new Dallas like I am? That opening music takes me right back to childhood and I’m nine years old sitting on my Mema and Papa’s couch on a Friday night.
7. Yesterday Ree posted a recipe for calzones and now I’m obsessed. I will make these sometime soon.
And then serve them with a side of fruit.
I cannot express how desperately I wanted to come up with an even ten items but I’m flat out of anything even remotely interesting. But maybe y’all have something interesting to say or share or whatever.
Feel free to discuss in the comments.
