Tuesday Things.
1. All I want for Valentine’s Day is a sexy bacon cheeseburger.
2. Um, on Sunday I saw a flock (a flock? is that the word?) of seagulls flying over the grocery store parking lot. It was like 30 degrees. No ocean or lake around. I thought I might be hallucinating in my sleep deprived state. How? Why? How?
3. Citrus season is blowing my mind. This morning we had a photoshoot and I made the vanilla ginger mojitos from my book and OMG THE LIMES. I’d also like a meyer lemon tree. Otherwise I need a money tree. P.S. do me a favor and make a killer margarita tonight.
4. Not sure I can even explain my excitement over buying adorable Valentines. Why can’t I be crafty?
5. I’m sure you’ve seen this by now, but how could I not share it? Jimmy Fallon has his own little Saved By the Bell cameo. Dead.
6. Last night my cousin and I FINALLY unpacked all my cookbooks from when we moved and we totally roy. g. biv-ed it. I told Eddie and he said “you WHAT it?” ROY G BIV-ed it! You get it. Right?
7. Pretty sure this is dinner tonight. I haven’t stopped craving it since I saw it earlier this week.
8. TV is back! I can’t believe the ending of GIRLS. I don’t care for Hannah at all but… WTF Adam! The Walking Dead? Why am I so emotionally invested and continually devastated when I assume there can be no happy ending? I think Scandal is completely whacked out and I don’t get it. I’m still on a MAJOR Parenthood binge – I’m on season 4 now and I cry at like every episode. It’s awful but wonderful. What I’m saying is that I’m basically a Braverman.
9. I just about freaked over T-Swift’s Grammys gown and shoes. My inner 90s child was losing it. LOVED. I also thought Gwen Stefani (Eddie’s lifelong crush) and Rhianna looked amazing too. Your picks?
10. Please tell me you’re reading Bev’s blog on Fridays. And, well, everyday.
11. Yesterday I ate Cheez It’s for breakfast. That’s real life right now.

Um… number 3, what book?!?!
Oh my god, I need to see your rainbow cookbooks!
I’ve also recently started a Parenthood binge and am coming to the end of season two. This show totally makes me want to have four kids and then wait until I’m a grandparent and never alone ever!
Yes, ROY G. BIV is definitely a verb. I approve :)
OMG. I watched the most recent GIRLS episode last night and have been dying to talk to someone about that ending! ARG. wtf Adam!
Cheez-It’s for breakfast has happened in this household more often than I would like to admit.
THE EXACT SAME THING with the seagulls is happening here (in Cuyahoga Falls, OH)! what the heck!?
I totally have a dwarf meyer lemon tree! The meyer lemons are normal sized, but the tree is smallish. It’s potted and in my house. It has a lemon on it and I’m hoping in coming years it will gift me with lots! GET ONE.
can i do that in this weather?! WANT!!
Did you give up on NASHVILLE??? If you did, go back, go back! And during my maternity leave Cheez-its were lunch for many of my days!
ahhh no! i just completely forgot to write about it! absolutely loved last week’s episode and am keeping fingers crossed that deacon will be good!
Red envelope used to sell citrus trees for your house. The website is down but I bet you can get them somewhere else. I sent one to a friend & she still has it!
so my mom has a meyer lemon tree, and it’s awesome, however she gets approx. 8 lemons a year….. this could also be cause we live in PA, but it’s a pretty small crop haha.
I roy g. biv my clothes in the closet. i totally get it. I want to be a Braverman!
I would love to see a post about all of your cookbooks, or even just a picture of them. I’m always on the lookout for new cookbooks I should buy!
Hmmm…don’t think I roy g. biv anything. My kids roy g.biv everything. My closet is “merchandised” by classification, then color, (once a merchant, always a merchant.) As far as cookbooks, I’m exploding off of one and a half bookcases…but I can always find your cookbook because that lipstick pink spine pops off the shelf :) Need to look up that mojito recipe and toast the upcoming long weekend!
Wahhhh Tyreese!!!!! He’s gone!
Hahahah, omg I love your tuesday posts, Jessica. I mean, cheez-its. YES.
I myself don’t understand seagulls. There are a ton of them that fly around in the parking lot at Target where I live. We are 3 1/2 hours from the beach! Yum, I’m going to have myself a juicy cheeseburger for Valentines day too. I liked Rhi’s outfit too. I hope your having a great day!
Cheezits are perfectly acceptable for breakfast. I’ve done it. LOVED Taylor’s Dress and Shoes…
Sexy Cheeseburgers are very important…and now I want one. Gee, thanks :p
And sorry, but #6… I don’t get it at all. Haha.
No joke- i actually told someone today that I felt a part of the Braverman family. I love them.
YAAAAS to Parenthood. Watched the finale in my dorm room last week and literally cried for hours, my roommate came back and thought there had been a death in my family (but basically there was since I’m a Braverman)
Super embarrassing, but do you watch the Bachelor?
Re: seagulls – there were always at least 25 of them in my high school parking lot, regardless of weather (this is in Minnesota, so it’d be blizzard-ing and you’d see a seagull in your parking spot. What?)
Gwen Stefani is 45 (!!!!!!). i was curious watching her perform because she looks incredible and she is 45. This blew my husband’s mind. And mine.
I KNOW. insanity.
I so want a meyer lemon tree. Do they grow in the north? I would probably kill it.
Yes, yes, yes. I totally get the Roy G Biv thing. .. .why wouldn’t I? Doesn’t everyone arrange their closet according to Roy G BIV/ Duh?
Cheez -it’s for breakfast? My dream breakfast. . .why can’t they be healthier?
I loved Taylor Swift’s gown, but then again, I love her fashion most of the time. And while I wasn’t into Madonna’s outfit, I totally loved her performance.
Yep, Pioneer, How Sweet, Country Cleaver, and Bev. My wake up call every morning. Thanks for the smiles!
Red! Orange! Yellow! Green! Blue! Indigo! Violet! Roy. G. Biv!!!!
—and thanks for the love! If anyone deserves a sexy burger it’s you!
Yes I know it’s Rihanna but I thought she looked ridiculous.. (Sorry…) I think Roy-g-biv- ing looks really cool, but I am afraid I would have a hard time finding my books… I keep all the baking books together and all the Barefoot Contessa books together, etc…. When you write your second book (!) it will go right next to your first!
I’ll take one for the team and make a margarita!
PARENTHOOD is/was the most amazing show on TV. It’s the perfect show to watch when you need to feel good and a reason to cry at the same time. That is something guys will never get… but if you are a girl, have hormones and a heart, you TOTALLY understand. I have the last 3 episodes on DVR and am afraid to watch them because then it’s over.
I’ve never used ROY G BIV’ed as a verb before, but I’m assuming you rainbow color arranged your cookbooks. :) Ugh…Hannah…ugh…that show. I almost can’t watch it anymore. But can you blame Adam??? Hannah is basically insane. Bravermans-4-life.
The amount of times I’ve cried during Parenthood is ridiculous. I’ve never loved a TV family more.
I gasped out loud at Adam! In their own apartment! WTF is an understatement!!!! I want to be a Braverman!!!! Or at least BFF’s with Kristina. I got through season 4 last Fri & Sat and basically had to be forced out of the house for a Five Guys run because I was neglecting my family and they wanted to spend time with me and eat, blah, blah, blah… :) Season 4 was hard! I cried a lot! But when I needed a break I discovered Netflix has Family Ties so I embraced my inner 80’s child and watched a couple of favs.
OMG please make migas and let us know how it was!!! I saw a recipe once, salivated over it, but never made it. Then I was in Miami and saw it on the menu and of course had to try it. It was amazing. Maybe if you come up with a recipe I would be motivated enough to make it? Like you have nothing else to do.
Also, I love that you are a ‘normal’ mom and have time for nothing and are giving us recipes for easy meals. It makes me feel better. My kids are almost 4 and 2 and I still feel like that sometimes. At least I can shower now…
Mojitos in the morning eh? Respect
Heh it’s 5 o’clock somewhere right?
AGH If you haven’t had migas before, you MUST. That’s a staple brunch food down here in Texas.
I think we live in semi-close proximity to each other.. I’m in the pgh area. There were def some seagulls in our grocery store parking lot last week as well. I had pretty much the same reaction haha.
I just finished watching all of Parenthood in a six week period… I also cried pretty much every episode. :) After you’re done- you should check out Brothers & Sisters. It’s the same idea but I loved it even more! I still miss it.
omg i watched brothers and sisters when it was on TV and loved it so much. i agree – the minute i turned on parenthood it reminded me of B+S!
Great minds think alike!
PS.. will you post a pic of the ROYGBIV cookbooks?? I have my books set up that way too. :)
I’ll have to find you a better migas recipe. Migas is never bad, but really good migas and salsa will blow your mind. And it’s always better if you cry up your own corn torts instead of using chips.
Cheese-Its for breakfast??? Winning at life! I love it. :)

FYI: CheezIts are also great for dinner!
I think Shameless should be added to your list to watch!
