Tuesday Things.
1. These macarons are actually the size of my palm. Huge! (pistachio for life, by the way. also in basic randomness, I do NOT like salted caramel. ???)
2. On my list today: spiced turkey and chickpea chili. With pita croutons!
3. Eddie is currently into eating kale. I repeat: Eddie is eating kale. Tell me if you see a pig fly?
4. Uh also, can we discuss this Jem eyeshadow palette?? Seriously. It is like the universe read my blog the last five years and saw me talk about Jem every few months. I mean, it was made for ME, right?! Okay one more: Jem cookie cutter. Just stop.
5. 14 things you didn’t know about Sweet Valley High.
6. Right now I have an extremly obnoxious, horrifying amount of scarves. Halp me. My plan is to go donate ten today.
7. The freaking Affair. How is this show still so good?! Gah. This week didn’t disappoint and I love that we got a bit more info at the end. I definitely think what Noah is envisioning is his book. Thoughts? Um and the ending of Homeland? I LOVE IT. I’m back to listening to afterbuzz TV podcasts of the shows too while I cook. (Somebody give me a life please.) And finally, Carol is the best on TWD. She wins.
8. Since this post is half tween books and half tween TV shows, did you read R.L. Stine and Goosebumps back in the day? I devoured those books s0 – here’s 10 updated millennial titles. Ha. Also, why was I so brave to read/watch scary things as a kid? Invincible mentality? These days I can’t even watch scary COMMERCIALS.
9. In other news, we might make our fifth (sixth? seventh?) (different!) pumpkin patch trip this weekend. What is this life with kids? Am I making my baby basic?

Okay my friend, Carrie, whenever I say salted caramel…she makes a face and I don’t understand! haha you’re the same way
JEM cookie cutter? I want one!!
re: The Affair. The scene with Noah and Max killed me. Did you also notice that Max mentioned hearing about Noah’s big advance? WE know how, but why didn’t Noah question it? Does Noah know anything about Gabriel? I can’t remember. And, I was a bit intrigued by the last scene, with Robert on the front steps. I see a lot of interesting things happening with that…maybe. :)
OMG
OK. Yes, pistachio is the best macaron. SO good.
THE AFFAIR! At the end my husband was like “he didn’t do it.” I told him I was convinced last season that Noah did do it, but this season, Pacey totally did it in my mind. (can I call him Pacey forever?). And Robert leering while they were in the pool, so creepy. And Noah’s daughter is so out of control it blows my mind. Crazy little girl.
HOMELAND I was practically screaming in the end! BUT he didn’t kill her even though it was his mission. So you know that he just can’t. And it’s so so interesting! Love it!
FEELING YOU on #8! I read RL Stine and some twisted-scary YA novels in middle school and high school (Christopher Pike, anyone?) and never had so much as a nightmare. Now I end up watching lots of Food Network and TLC after dark because I can’t handle the scary grandma movie commercials and I will be too afraid to traverse my hallway and go to bed.
I want to hear about your NYC trip!! :) What did you do? Most importantly, what/where did you eat? :) :) Sara
OMG, I loved Jem SO MUCH as a kid. I watched a couple episodes on YouTube a while ago and was instantly transported to my youth. DO IT! You can totally pull off those colors.
That’s how I feel when my husband eats Kale too.. “Is this real life”? haha
OH I am loving Homeland again. So good. I cannot wait for the next episode.
We tried blue apron for a couple of weeks and I made the turkey chickpea chili, it was really good and may have even made me not hate eggplant? Maybe. I bought some Ras al hanout to recreate it myself soon.
Guilty of listening to Afterbuzz too! I loved Goosebumps but my husband is a bit older and missed out on the books. So I’ve been trying (unsuccessfully) to talk him into seeing the movie with me, because there’s no way I watch it in a dark theater or by myself at home.
I remember back in grade school that it was soooo hard to borrow a Goosebumps book from the library because they were so popular…there was always a huge waiting list!
Holy Macaroons!
If I could make macarons I would set.
I have been to the pumpkin patch twice, and I don’t have kids to take! ♡♡
