Tuesday Things.
1. I am admittedly not a fan of dates. Actually, scratch that. I do like dates. But I don’t like bars/brownies/cookies that claim to taste like “the best peanut butter chocolate cookie you’ll ever have” only to taste like… dates. See example: Larabars. But these dates dipped in chocolate are the kind that I can get behind. Love this as a snack.
2. Amazing: feeling like you have to turn a hobby into a hustle.
3. Recently saw an article about what not to put in your garbage disposal, and it made me laugh because that is a huge point of contention between Eddie and me. He tries to put EVERYTHING in the garbage disposal, like once I’m pretty sure he put a banana peel down there. It’s one of our biggest fights in the kitchen and utterly hilarious.
4. This past weekend I created a howsweeteats user on the Peloton if you want to follow along! I’ve been riding under that this week and it’s super fun riding with some of you at the same time!
5. TV things! I actually really loved This Is Us last week. Loved the back story of Beth and it was so refreshing to see something else. Per usual, A Million Little Things was so good too. Eeeep.
6. I got so excited when I saw the Aladdin trailer – I think it’s because my mom and I saw the broadway show a few months ago! I’m on the fence about the Lion King but I’m sure I will probably like it. Fun fact: I never liked any animated movies when I was younger until Beauty and the Beast came out. I’ve never seen Bambi or the Little Mermaid.
7. Some of my favorite Oscars looks: Regina King (prob my #1), Angela Basset, J LO, Gemma Chan and Lady Gaga.
8. Speaking of! We had a wind storm on Sunday and right as Bradley Cooper finished his first verse of Shallow, the power went out. It came right back on but the cable takes like 20 minutes to come back to life and I was dyyyying. Their chemistry is insane and I love it but I also think… publicity stunt?
9. I’m obsessed with Nike’s newest ad.

We somehow didn’t lose power at all during the awards which is insane because everyone lost power in our part of town and we always lose power!
I never thought about the Gaga/cooper thing as a publicity stunt, but I think that’s a great theory. She’s the master of marketing!
i think they are just really playing up their chemistry because it’s got people so much more interested in the movie! i didn’t love the movie the first time, but after seeing their chemistry now in “real life,” i somehow love the movie more?! haha!
Me too! I didn’t love it initially, but after that I think I love it more!
I don’t think it is a publicity stunt but that they obviously connect on some deep level as artists have a tendency to do but not necessarily romantic. I could watch that performance over and over. She is everything and he really has it :).
My sister in law has this old plumber. He quizzed her about what she put down her disposal and with every response (apple peels, egg shells) he said well don’t. I guess they sell commercial ones with more power-that is what we will get next time. My husband doesn’t want to put anything down it and I am like whatever.
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga has the most insanely amazing chemistry. I don’t think it was a publicity stunt but, maybe? My husband puts way too much down our disposal or puts stuff down and then doesn’t run it. Ew!
i totally agree that their chemistry is amazing!! i didn’t necessarily mean publicity stunt, but more like they are playing up the incredible chemistry to keep promoting the movie?
so we did get a commercial garbage disposable last time ours broke and it’s incredible! totally worth it.
Love the Nike ad!
Do you have a link for the garbage disposal article? It’s a frequent topic of contention with my entire family!
it was on lifehacker! https://lifehacker.com/please-dont-put-these-things-down-your-garbage-disposal-1832877161
Oh…the Lion King trailer that played during the Oscars had me hooked. I find that live action animation …or whatever it is called…both fascinating and a bit disturbing. It looks so real but then again it doesn’t. Little Simba….soooooo precious and will be the next “in” stuffed animal for sure.
The Nike ad is perfection.
so cute!!
I’m so excited for Aladdin, but I’m twice as excited to see The Lion King as it’s one of my all time favourite Disney movies! The oscars also had some stunning looks, Lady Gaga looked beautiful!

so excited too!
i would prefer to put nothing down the garbage disposal!!!!
dead.
Ok I loved A Million Little Things but I couldn’t recover from the fact that Maggie’s mom is Jan from The Office.
Also I can’t believe you’ve never seen The Little Mermaid but I am pretty sure you would love it. Bambi is too depressing. :(
hahaha i thought the same about jan. i was like WHAT.
AHHH So glad you shared your peloton leaderboard name! Following! :)
Also, the garbage disposal debate is real life in our house too!
yay! if there is a good live ride at 6am, that’s usually when i’ll ride!
Those fries though!!! Michigan & Trumbull is in my neighborhood and my dry consumption has gone up 100% thanks to them.
so so good!
6.) Unacceptable. GO WATCH BAMBI AND LITTLE MERMAID RIGHT NOW! :) xoxo
hahaha i know!
Garbage Disposal: We just bought a 3/4 horsepower disposal and it is AMAZING! My husband’s whole family will just throw anything down the disposal. Like, instead of scraping their plates into the trash, they scrape them into the sink which I 100% do not understand. My parents have a 3/4 hp disposal too that’s lasted them like 15 years so I am hoping this one will take care of whatever junk goes down there.
This is Us: so happy to finally enjoy that show again instead of just enduring it!
yessss we have one of these too! it has saved us many times. eddie is def the person who scrapes everything into the sink too. makes me insane.
Ive never seem bambi either but you MUST watch the little mermaid. you will love it.
Hahaha….until you said chocolate dates, I thought you meant the other kind of dates (i.e., with your husband) and I thought that was an odd thing to bring up ;)
*insert monkey emoji with hands over the eyes*
I also think that dates in foods like granola bar is super gross. It gives the food such a weird texture!
Also love the article about turning a hobby into a hustle!
garbage disposal – we took our out. more space under sink, less smell, etc.
lady gaga/bradley cooper. – i saw a david spade tweet that was their pic from oscars and a line that read something like “am i really supposed to believe these 2 are not f&^*ing.” i about died because thats what i felt. although he does have a decent voice i found myself being like bradley cooper be quiet you are drowning out lady gaga !!!!
loved lots of the dresses !!! but yes regina king was pretty. i wanted to love glenn close’s dress but i just felt it was all to much and covered her up a bit much. billy porter….daaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmnnnnnnnnnn
The garbage disposal…. LOL. We didn’t have one for years because our home is older, and scraps of food in the sink was a HUGE ordeal. But now we have one, and it’s still a point of contention because my S.O. also tries to put EVERYTHING down it. Like, potato peels. HELLO. Everyone knows they are a no-go, right?? I once saw him consider putting a chicken bone into our disposal. OMG! *Facepalm*!
I got suckered into trying those Larabara bars/ RX bars or whatever the other versions are, too. They pulled me in with the chocolate chip cookie flavor, and some other flavor….and both radically different flavors tasted exactly the same. And, exactly like compressed dates. …Ummmm, NO. So, I hear ya. Ain’t a cookie unless it’s a cookie! :-D
I am also so obsessed with the new nike ad campaign. It makes me feel like it is time to start training for the olympics or something- you know, at the tender age of 35. Sigh. I followed you on Peloton! I also often ride at 6am- sometimes live, sometimes on demand. See you out there!
