3 things I missed mentioning. 2 are important and and 1 is less so… 1. Mom. The best there’s ever been and the best there will ever be & she’s all mine. Mom: I love your summary texts (“Ironing until water aerobics. Pai’s getting in this afternoon. I might go to JoAnn’s later. xo”). I love how you’ll talk to me forever about taxes and mousetraps. I love that there is no better person to learn from and no person I miss more. I’m the luckiest. And just so it’s on the internet, Happy Mother’s Day + 2 days.  2. Brittany. This Sunday B started a new trip around the sun. To my person: HAPPY BELATED, bean. Sending good birthday vibes from here to Cambridge and back Guess what? As of today, it’s exactly 1 month until I fly across the pond. This is not a drill. THIS IS NOT A DRILL! There will be hugging and screaming for no less than 17 minutes – I hope you’re prepared. 3. Blueberry Muffin Ice Cream. Enough said.

Valentine’s will be my one last hurrah. A post-Mardi Gras sugar binge and then that’s that, no refined sugar (and potentially white flour) until Easter Sunday. I’m debating between making one or all four of the above between now and Feb 14th. Strawberry Pistachio White Chocolate Bark (Cookbook Recipes) /Red Velvet Black and White Cookies (Joy the Baker) /Pink Peanut Butter Hugs (Daily Nibbles) / Ricotta and Raspberry Pie (A Beautiful Mess)

When it’s crazy in Trader Joe’s I just start to grab things. Over the years I’ve returned home with many an unplanned item - seaweed snacks, cookie butter, roasted olive & feta bread, and most recently, a gigantic bag of Meyer lemons.  I’m thinking the above might be happening sometime in the very near future. Meyer Lemon Focaccia (Food52) | Lemon Yogurt Anything Cake (Smitten Kitchen) | Meyer Lemon Cornmeal Quick Break (Jelly Toast) | Cacio e Pepe with Lemons (Martha)

Things are nuts right now. So, here’s a list of my favorite Recent Incredible Happenings because I need to slow down and remember that things are nuts but they are also so good. White Pizza Dip (eaten in Greenpoint at a particularly excellent Golden Globes viewing party) Whiskey Caramel Marshmallow Bark with Bacon (brought to a German bar in Fort Greene…because nothing says HAPPY 34th better than bacon and beer out of a boot) Maple Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Cranberries with Barley (eaten last night…by myself…while watching the Bachelor) MY FIRST SOUL CYCLE CLASS (currently accepting donations to fund this new addiction) Maybe the best care package in the entirety of UPS history A re-read of this (which is really enough to make any sane person want to book a one-way ticket on Air France) As of today, Valentine’s is less than a month away!
