Tuesday Things.
1. I’ve never wanted to live in a warm climate until NOW. Holy smokes. I wish more than ever that I lived somewhere warm and could chill on the patio all evening with a glass of wine.
2. Need a project? Hello créme brûlée cream puffs!
3. In my quarantined state, I’ve been wishing I had weird things to eat and keep adding them to my grocery list. First up: ice cream sandwiches. Haven’t had one in a million years!
4. How to perfect your work from home set up so your back doesn’t hurt! This is good.
5. Someone please tell me how I didn’t know about rolled tortilla chips. We’ve just discovered these and now my life is forever changed.
6. TV Things!! Absolutely loved a Million Little Things last week (except for the Eddie storyline… like why). I’m totally over Homeland, too much time has passed, but I will finish it out. I really wanted to start Little Fires Everywhere! And who else is super excited for Billions! Can’t wait. We also did a binge of The Office over the weekend. Never gets old.
7. The best quarantine fun award goes to rita wilson.
8. I’ve been working on a puzzle and Max loves the idea of it, but a 1000 piece puzzle has blown his mind. Every night he thinks we can finished it and then he breaks apart the edges I’ve built. It’s actually hilarious.
9. Have you gone down the tik tok rabbit hole yet? I have to say, there are definitely stages. The first is WTF is this. The second is, I can’t stop watching. The third is, how can these teenagers be dancing to such inappropriate lyrics WITH THEIR PARENTS. And the fourth is, I wonder if I could do this, it looks fun. No worries, I would never. But I secretly want to.
10. My March reaching post will come next week, but just an FYI that I’m reading Oona Out of Order and oh my gosh it is SO wonderful. I love it.

The only ice cream sandwiches I love are the Trader Joe’s brownie coffee crisp ones. So so addictive. Rolled tortilla chips???
I was JUST saying to my husband that it would be chilly and rainy the entire time we’re not allowed to go anywhere. I usually love this city but I don’t really like it right now!
The only ice cream sandwiches worth eating are CoolHaus brand! They are on a homemade cookie (usually chocolate chip or double chocolate chip) and have different flavors of really good ice cream (vanilla, mint, cookie dough, etc).
This is not a paid ad, btw. Just an enthusiastic fan! ;)
You’ve inspired me to add Oatmeal cream pies to my grocery list
Weather here has been rainy and gloomy, and it’s really added to the doomsday feeling. Looks like it’s clearing up, and I couldn’t be happier. Sorry that you’ll have to endure it longer! I actually just started billions so I guess I need to move faster! I have a similar secret desire of doing tik tok vids. Haha
Try rolled tortilla dipped in Nutella…..Yup… I just happen to find 3 jars all in different sizes, while cleaning out my baking cupboard and eating the rolled chips,heh,heh……not bad?
Even my cats are stir crazy and they’re indoor kitties.
…….BTW we just got about 3 inches of snow last night.
At least it makes it feel like a snow day instead.
Have you discovered the sheer joy that is the Bon Appetit YouTube videos yet? Claire remakes Takis in an episode of Gourmet Makes and it’s so impressive!
Rita Wilson – wrapping, I just love her so much!
Rolled tortilla chips? I haven’t beware of them, who makes them?
I loved the last episode of this us us. I love Better things and Pamela Adlon, plays Randall’s therapist.
Reading, since we are stuck home I’m thinking of attempting to finally read Anna Karenina. It’s so darn long, it sort of overwhelms me!
Re: number 3, I bought pizza rolls the other day! Haven’t had them forever but it seemed like now was the time!
2Gether Private Chefs holding cooking class on line with kids…making girls scout cookie ice cream sandwiches…what you might be craving :-)
The grass is always greener…LOL, it is going to be 90 here today. I’m already wishing for cooler weather,
Loved the working from home article! I’m a big proponent of moving around during the workday. I’ve created a makeshift standing desk, and in the rare times I do sit down to work, I vary where I sit: couch for a bit, kitchen table for awhile, then my actual desk for a bit…. It really helps break up the monotony AND helps back and leg pain.
Is anyone watching Zoe’s Extraordinary playlist? Very upbeat with great music and dancing.
RITA WILSON !!!! very impressive. also agree would love to sit outside at fire pit with wine glass and chocolate.
Tik Tok and teens.. at that point you realize they listen to all the inappropriate songs and do these dances without you. SIGH.
as for weather, we had 70 and sunshine last week. and in quarantine this actually caused people to be silly and head out in masses to the outside to enjoy said sunshine and then social distancing wasn’t upheld (oregon) at the beaches and parks and trails. so now we are fully stay at home order- fines applicable.
Ha! I had a random quarantine purchase/craving for Combos – I haven’t had them in… decades? :D
