Let It Be Sunday, 177!
Are you ok?
I’ve ordered lunch from the same sandwich dude twice this week and both times ended with me fumbling with my wallet and not entirely understanding what the dude was saying. Both times he asked me “Are you ok?”, and… first of all – rude, although I hear your concern and it’s a valid question. Second of all – no, I’m not ok. Third of all, and a follow-up question- ARE YOU OK?

Cheeseburger Fried Rice
I have a few friends with kids who, maybe out of delirium or exhaustion or, likely… awesome creative parenting, have asked their kids what they want for dinner and made… exactly that. From what I can see that usually ends in a chicken nugget, strawberry jam, ice cream concoction that… if you cock your adult head just so, seems absurdly delicious. Something along the lines of chicken nugget pancake tacos. It’s really not the worst idea.

Let It Be Sunday, 176!
Dear friends!
Can we all just take a big ol Sunday exhale together? (Can you tell I’m in yoga teacher training? All I do is breathe with people now – it’s the best.) We’ve made it to a day of rest and, gosh I hope you’re resting at least partly.
This week I volunteered in the kitchen with my friend and amazing pastry chef Lisa Marie White at Children’s Harbor, a summer camp for kids with serious illnesses.

Fried Blueberry Hand Pies
It’s early in these warm weather months and I’ve already jumped from a dock into a lake. And, to be honest, it was more of a reluctant fall into a lake than a confident jump because, well… everyone knows lakes are full of fish, moss, and lake monsters – enter at your own risk – which I did – and I’m here to tell the tale of that and, more importantly, fried pies.

Let It Be Sunday, 175!
Fair to say it’s been a rough week but here we are, still in the world with a Sunday in front of us.
I heard a passing news story this week about bird sounds in the Amazon rainforest and how the people that live in the rainforest can tell the time of day, the season, the weather, the everything of their world by the sound of birdcalls. It’s a tangible rhythm, and a reminder of all we have to tune into.

What We’re Listening To These Summer Days, 2018
Hey friends!
I get my best podcast suggestions from friends and since WE’RE FRIENDS (newsflash), I thought now would be a good time to get all of our summer listening sorted in hopes of lots of summer travel adventures and road trips. Here’s what I’m listening to and what’s on my radar for the next few months.
What are you listening to? Are you holding out on any podcast secrets!?

Let It Be Sunday, 174!
This week would probably be best measured in hours of Law & Order SVU reruns I’ve watched. How many hours are in a week? Let’s just ballpark that 40% of those hours involved Olivia Benson. I don’t want to do the math, I just want to be loosely honest with you.
It’s too soon to complain about the heat. Also, no one wants to hear it.
I’m working on some meal prep for myself today.

Let It Be Sunday, 173!
Hello dear friends!
Thank you for your patience with me this holiday weekend. I’ve been away from my computer celebrating my birthday on the coast of South Carolina this past weekend. I’m officially very full of barbecue and good wine so… birthday dreams do come true.
Hopefully this day has you extra restful, extra thoughtful, and looking forward to a boatload (maybe even literally) of summer adventures. As part of that extra thoughtfulness, here’s 10 Things To Remember About Memorial Day from Mental Floss.

Chicken Enchilada Bake
We’re approaching the steamy time of year in New Orleans where all I want to eat is cucumber slices, Pimm’s Cups, and various chips and salsas. It’s not for the faint of heart… mmkay?
I was thinking we’d go ahead and call this our summer-vibing Hot Dish. The kind we bring to our friend’s pool parties. This is totally a summer casserole, don’t you think? Something to pile all those salsas on top of.
