Loved this! Your delight in your NYC trip made me happy. Ugh summer cooking is not my favorite, BUT my daughter recently took a liking to salmon (mind-blowing considering how picky she is), so I make that every Monday. It’s a nice reset after the weekend meal. I’m also into making Mediterranean bowls: grilled chicken over arugula and rice and then I set out a platter of feta, tomatoes, Persian cucumbers, Kalamata olives, and pickled onions as toppings, then we dress it all with a homemade lemon garlic tahini sauce. It’s such a good and fresh meal for hot weather but it’s also a “kitchen bomb” as I like to call it. Too many dishes!!
After being completely absorbed by/in love with Hello Beautiful, I had two books disappoint me: Sandwich (the characters got on my nerves) and The Interestings (ditto re: the characters, plus the author was fond of spending paragraphs on random observations about life that she clearly thought were profound 🤦🏻♀️).
We eat a similar type bowl alll the time and it’s the best! The pickled onions are 👌🏼Chloe used to love salmon and now she acts like we’re torturing her if we make it for dinner. Kids!
It’s no fun reading dud books. I really enjoyed The Husbands. It’s great on audio.
I would 100% eat a cake made of cheese! That looks amazing!
I feel like most of my summer has been spent in food prep—buying, buying, buying, cooking, making lists, buying. 😅 Right now we’re having a little heat wave (not that hot really, but without a.c. it’s no fun), so I’m trying to make meals that require little to no cooking.
Fancy Food Show is peak spouse job perks 🔥 that photo of him looking at you needs to be framed.
I look at that photo on my phone all the time. I do need to frame it!
That picture of you two is the cutest!!
I love it so much!!
THAT PHOTO OF YOU GUYS - I am deceased 😫😍🥰 loved this update. A beautiful cake made of cheese is something I didn’t know I needed until now.
🥰🥰

💯agree on Long Island! Sandwich was a complete fail for me.
Love the pic of you and Andy!! So sweet!
I’m cooking a lot. 😆
The amount of food you cook ASTOUNDS me!
What a fun update. Loved all the food related fun. That conference sounds like a dream!
I thought of you while I was there!
Just chiming in to say I love this recap, I love you, and I most certainly love cakes made of cheese!
Cheese date at my house next Tuesday!! 🍾🧀

The constant buying/cooking is exhausting!
I wish I was close enough to come to your library workshop! It’s going to be amazing!
Meee tooo!!
Couldn’t agree more with your take on Real Americans and Long Island!! Ultimately maddening indeed!!
I want an update on your beach reads!
