When Freddie got here to select us up, he made us snicker with this signal.
Right here’s the view from their porch! So cool to have a pool within the entrance yard.
Our pal Jimmy made linguine with clam sauce (NYTimes reward hyperlink) for dinner — “However I used contemporary shucked clams, not canned,” he advised me, “They’ve a greater style and really feel.” — together with Alison Roman’s spicy breadcrumbs, or “savory sprinkles” as his children known as them. Soooo scrumptious and lemony.
Afterward, we performed Ono 99 (a really enjoyable, rousing recreation that’s simple to be taught), and I cherished these expressions when these two realized they had been going to lose.
Bear in mind Sharon?
We additionally went to a close-by cheese store with the funniest little indicators. This one made me snicker: “Wonderful gouda of unknown windfall and undetermined age. Purchased from our Belgian cheese man, who supplied no supporting documentation and isn’t answering his emails. Most likely Dutch, perhaps Belgian.”
Lastly, my fantastic pal simply bought surgical procedure and requested for fast humorous podcasts whereas recovering. I remembered this previous round-up — what would you add to the record?
Hope your summer time goes nicely, though after all it doesn’t must be! As Zora Neale Hurston wrote, “There are years that ask questions and years that reply.” What have you ever been as much as? Right here for all of it, and sending love, as all the time. xoxo
