YES! Brisket Breakfast Biscuits
I’m going to ask you a series of favors and I’m going to suggest it’s for your weekend benefit.
Could you do me and put the words ‘big hunk of brisket’ on your grocery list? Could you do me another favor and find your slow cooker? It might be in the way back of some cabinet somewhere, but I promise it’s worth the cabinet dig. Could you do me one last favor and that’s, well… slow cook that ample piece of meat you bought with onions and garlic, make some biscuits, poach and egg or two, and enjoy this No-Joke-Of-A Breakfast Sandwich either in your pajama pants?

Dark Chocolate Guinness Brownies
There’s a thing that bakers won’t always tell you: the simplest baked goods are sometimes the trickiest.
That goes for things like fudgy not cakey, done but not dry brownies. You should know, I’ve made a lot of crappy brownies. Not for lack of practice or desire. It’s just that the proportions are more fickle than you might expect from a simple mixture of chocolate, butter and eggs. Nuance.
The trick to fudgy, not cakey brownies is chocolate.

Let It Be Sunday!
Right here is where we are. Hopefully with a mug of warmth in hand, with a few moments to ourselves, with a peaceful sky above, mellow plans for the day, and if we’re very very lucky… the sound of the ocean surrounding us.
I hopped up and over to (just past) Pensacola Florida for the weekend. The pastels are unbelievable. The moon is huge. The heart is mellowing.
Wanna know what’s up on the Internet?

Pork, Plum and Pistachio Rice Dish
I feel like I’m always in the in-between these days.
In between unpacking and repacking a suitcase- I love it, I really love it. In between New Orleans and Philadelphia- Also love that… a whole lot with my heart. In between coffee and lunch but thinking about dinner. In between Snapchat and Instagram. In between wet dish hands and trying to wrangle something hot from the oven (that’s a tricky one).

Let It Be Sunday!
Hello dearhearts,
Here’s what’s on my mind and in my Internet this week.
• Are you registered to vote? You have until October 11th to register. Here’s the thing… you should vote. You really should vote. Not long back in our history as a country only a few of us could vote and if you weren’t a white dude… you didn’t get a say in who led our country and what happened here.

Our Fall 2016 Reading List
It’s time to talk about the books we’re stacking on your nightstands for the Fall months! I’m feeling sweater, cappuccino and a stolen hour to just read in our futures. Here’s our working list. What would you add?
• I’m Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reed It’s been called a “tight, ferocious little book” full of mounting suspense. A friend suggested it saying… it’s one of those crazy good books you read in four hours and with that recommendation, it’s the next book on my shortlist.
• Night Film by Marisha Pessl We’re in for thrills this Fall and Night Film was named one of the best books of the year by NPR.

Bread and Butter Bread Pudding
Working in a restaurant kitchen means a few things. You wear the same shoes as hardworking nurses because standing for prep afternoon and service night is no joke. You speak at least enough Spanish to insult someone’s kitchen speed or hairline and enough Spanish to ask for food nicely. You know that the best salads are tossed by hands likely not wearing gloves, that the dishwasher is king, and that the bread pudding in the walk-in cooler is likely very good day one from the oven and decreases in goodness the longer it sits in the walk-in cooler next to the blue cheese.

Let It Be Sunday!
Hello dearhearts!
I’ve hustled my heart out in the kitchen with Jon this week and wrangled the Internet into a manageable list. Now I need to undo my belt and go contemplate the back of my eyelids for several hours. You… have some caffeine and I’ll catch up with you soon, real soon.
Happy Sunday!
The Internet:
• Ok, so we gotta chill? Most everything will still be here tomorrow, but it’ll be real tough if our minds aren’t right.

Weekend Breakfast: Savory French Toast with Fried Egg
Can I shimmy my way into your weekend?
Can I wedge myself in if I come offering inspiration and encouragement?
Here’s the inspiration: Salty, savory, creamy, tender very fancy French toast that’s tremendously simple and satisfying and keeps you miles away (in satisfaction) from the Brunch line down the road.
Here’s the encouragement: Keep going / keep growing / but first breakfast with coffee / we’re human all the way.
Here’s what you need from your kitchen gather.
