Welcome to Summer Saturdays! You had to know this post was coming. I won’t shut up about anything. Here’s what happened this first official week of summer!
ADDICTED TO
Seeing Obsession in theatres. We’ve gone twice now, but honestly if it’s still playing in theatres in a few weeks I can see myself going again. By far the best movie of the year so far.
BAKING
Attempting to make Nanaimo bars for the first time because it’s the only Canadian dessert I could think to make for July 1st. I’m also considering a maple tiramisu because that does sound like it has potential.
COOKING
I made this blue cheese vinaigrette for a steak salad and I’m never ordering this from a restaurant ever again, this is the only recipe I will ever need. Next time I plan to put a smash burger patty on top of this salad instead of steak since it’s cheaper and sounds even better? And I might use the rest of the dressing for these cooked carrots. I always forget how unstoppable blue cheese can be.
CRAVING
Words can’t describe how much I want to make this patty melt from The Commerce Inn.
EATING
If there’s a new way to cook a potato, I will find it. This I vow to you.
EXPERIENCING
I saw the new costume exhibit at The Met, so expect a full post on that this week.
HATING
The musical choices on The Bear. Or maybe just the entire show. It’s definitely become a hate watch for me, so I’m really glad it’s ending. I’ve never seen a show that’s more repetitive and boring at the same time.
INTRIGUED BY
The Iris van Herpen exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum because I really love a clothing exhibit.
LEARNING
Just found out about Delta’s “Bags on Time” guarantee. The policy states that if your checked luggage isn’t at the carousel within 20 minutes of a domestic flight’s gate arrival, you can claim 2,500 bonus SkyMiles. I checked Reddit and found out that most times, you don’t even need to set a timer - just fill out the form anyway and you’ll likely get the miles. The submission form is here if you travel with Delta a lot and want to bookmark it.
LOVING
The fact that we haven’t needed to use our air conditioning much lately. I know the more brutal weather is coming, but there’s something so perfect about sleeping with the windows open and having a fan directly on your bed. It’s the most Caribbean thing about me, probably.
OBSESSED WITH
The outfits of baseball players off the field. It’s always nothing I’d expect. I mean, look at this (below). How do you describe it? And why am I enamoured with it? Love clouds judgement?
