February Feats 2024

NYC, February 2024

Welcome to March! You’re well aware of how much I love this month. Will I overdo it and be left a shell of a person come April 1st? Most likely, but there’s nothing that can be done about that! Here’s what went down last month.

  • The best tweets of the month can be found over here.

  • I kept up with my weekly Winter Wednesdays series.

  • I finally finished the Mel Brooks memoir I’ve been reading for months.

  • If this coat (below) was under $100, then I would’ve had no choice but to buy it.

Bury me at the Nordstrom flagship

  • Some things I baked:

    • God, I love a small batch cookie recipe.

    • People won’t shut up about this New York Times marry-me chicken recipe but I absolutely would reject that proposal. I made it and it was FINE at best. And more recently, I made a cauliflower soup of theirs and it was bland as hell! I definitely need to take a step back from their recipes. Maybe the food styling is what’s tricking me? Gorgeous looking food doesn’t always taste amazing. There’s a lesson there??

    • I made this brioche berry bread pudding that was delicious. Something feels very wrong about using strawberries in February, but the Grand Marnier soak really helped the flavour.

  • I can’t stop wearing these Aerie brown stockings.

  • Found a new coffee shop that I’m loving - Sonbobs in Astoria.

  • We bought Baby Dog a ramp to get on and off our bed and it’s been a huge help. Sometimes she’ll just leap off into the pillows alongside it, so it may take some time for her to trust this new inanimate object in her life.

  • I tried out a colour corrector from Huda because the internet told me to and it did absolutely nothing different to my face hahah?? Sometimes I seem smart and other times I do stuff like this.

  • Nathan and I saw the play An Enemy Of The People with Jeremy Strong (from Succession) and Michael Imperioli (from The Sopranos & The White Lotus) and it was great! Absolutely love the Circle in the Square theatre. $40 tickets straight from the box office can’t be beat.

  • The winter kale salad at Uva Next Door on the Upper East Side was top tier.

  • The patty melt at Daily Provisions? Wow. Makes zero sense that a coffee shop has that good a sandwich.

  • I’ve finally learned my lesson and I’ve stopped using third-party websites for booking travel. Took me decades to learn this lesson.

  • Also, I’m sure no one but me buys Visa gift cards - but just incase, stay very far away from the brand Vanilla. I’ve had so many issues with money that was loaded improperly and their customer service is nonexistent.

  • Some things I watched:

    • Sometimes I Think About Dying: so great! Our friend Dave does such a great job in it.

    • Two Weeks Notice and The Wedding Date (combining them because they don’t deserve individual billing): WOOF. Why do I do this to myself when I have a list full of actually watchable movies?

    • If Lucy Fell: an old Sarah Jessica Parker movie? Course I’d watch that. It actually wouldn’t have been so terrible if the main guy wasn’t such an awful actor. He wrote, directed and starred in it, which was the wrong decision.

    • Waiting To Exhale: such a great rewatch.

    • Once Upon A Crime: perfect rewatch. It’s baffling that this movie did so bad at the box office.

    • New season of Curb: ugh. I don’t want to be mean, but I really hate this show now. The storylines are so tired and it really didn’t need to come back at all. (Richard Lewis will remain the best thing about the whole show.)

Some things I’m looking forward to this month: taking Baby Dog to Niagara Falls, I really want to try the vodka chicken parm from Compton’s in Astoria, excited to spend some time with my brother + family visiting from Scotland and there are so many birthday cakes I get to make for other people this month.

If you’ve got any interest in reading last month’s roundup, you can read what went on in January over here.

Winter Wednesdays Vol. 6

by Liz Heather in Winter Wednesdays


BAKING/COOKING

I made this honey garlic pork tenderloin again and it’s such an easy, fulfilling meal.

CRAVING

A vanilla ice cream sundae with hot fudge. No idea why. Maybe because it’s impossible to find on adult restaurant dessert menus?

EATING

The red meat at Bistro Eloise is unparalleled.

EXPERIENCING

Snow in New York! It’s insane that schools were closed for that amount of snow, but I shouldn’t be so negative. Just grateful to have any.

LOVING

My friend Dave is in the movie Sometimes I Think About Dying that’s playing at the Angelika and it was great! He did such a great job.

SHOPPING

So I caved and finally bought Baby Dog a ramp for the bed. She’s been having a hard time seeing things at night, so hopefully this’ll help things.

WATCHING

I rewatched Waiting To Exhale and it still really holds up well. It’s also a perfect breakup or men-ain’t-shit movie.

WEARING

Night eye cream from Amore Pacific. I’ve had it for years and never used it. So I’m trying to care about these things, even if the interest lasts a month.

You can read last week’s Winter Wednesdays Vol. 5 over here.
