BAKING
Found this old recipe from an 80s desserts book and there’s no human way it isn’t the greatest tasting thing of all time.
Butterscotch apple squares
COOKING
Looking up every way possible to make the most of these perfect summer heirlooms.
Look at these mutant beauties
CRAVING
The new M. Night movie Trap came out yesterday so we’re going on Tuesday (the cheap day) and I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a movie.
DRINKING
Making this frozen peach rose slushy tonight.
EATING
The pink lemonade flavoured Oikos yogurt is surprisingly good. Whoever is in charge of their seasonal flavours needs a raise.
EXPERIENCING
There’s something about my parent’s backyard that just makes me feel like I know who I am, I’ll never not love every single season back there.

LISTENING
Don’t get me wrong I love her, but I have a theory that Taylor Swift solely makes certain songs that she thinks people will use over TikToks (ie. My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys… c’mon! There’s no way that’s meant as a real song and not dog-owner-bait).
LOVING
Another week of too many things to love:
The phone game Heads Up, perfect for passing time with someone.
I finally got Baby Dog in a kiddie pool and the girl can swim! Might have been the cutest thing I’ve seen on this green earth.
Michaels always puts their Lemax Halloween display up this time of year (someone explain why?) and it sells out within weeks so by the time September comes around that area is (ironically) a ghost town. That being said, I still love getting to see the displays in all their glory.

The extremely dog-friendly Pearson airport (in Toronto) pet relief area - honestly, it’s the best one I’ve ever seen. It’s eons better than the horrid urine-closet they call a pet relief room at LaGuardia.

SHOPPING
The DVD section at suburban thrift stores remains magical. Insanely good finds.
WATCHING
My 13 year niece Maya stayed with me for awhile so I made her watch Creep, I Know What You Did Last Summer and The Craft. It’s called parenting.
WEARING
Last week’s Summer Saturdays Vol. 6 can be found over here and I’m keeping a summer highlights section over here.
