Tuesday Things.
1. OMG – homemade sourdough pasta! My starter is still going strong.
2. Last week on vacation I jumped in the shower (a small square stand up shower), washed my hair and when I opened my eyes, there was a HUGE spider right near my face on the wall. I mean HUGE. Talk about my worst nightmare. Jumped out screaming, covered in soap and made Eddie come kill it. Ooomph.
3. Summer pleasures. Except no to #20.
4. I finally got my act together and ordered from The Peach Truck! I was SO excited that they were in my area. Went to pick up, took the kids with me, figuring it would get us out of the house. Um, the line for pickup was, like, hundreds of people long. It was INSANE! I had no idea it was like that. There was no way I could stay with all the kids in the 90 degree heat so we left. And I lost my peaches. Whomp whomp.
5. I love these 70 healthy snack ideas!
6. TV things! Should I watch Outer Banks?! I haven’t yet. I am all caught up on the White Lotus and while I like it… I feel like it’s just about… nothing? Haha.
7. How to stop a meltdown. Hmmm I could use this…
8. I’m taking Max school supply shopping for the first time and I can’t even handle the excitement. I feel ten years old again! Pretty sure he is going to love it. My inner Lisa Frank is flipping out.

Oh I am so sad you didn’t get your peaches!!! I got some last week for the very first time and while the line was really long, it moved SO quickly. I know that doesn’t help you now, but if you decide to try again next summer just know they have the distribution down to a science – very impressive. In fact, it took me longer to park than it did to actually get my box of peaches. I was scared when I pulled into the parking lot, but now I’ll go back again and again!
gah nooooo don’t tell me that! LOL!
I know!!! I considered not saying anything, but wanted you to know for next year! :)
Yes! The Peach Truck line moves so fast, especially now that they moved to pre-order, pre-payment. Also, go toward the end of the pick-up time. People like to get there at the beginning but show up an hour later and it’s a walk-up at many places.
oh, great tip to go later! I bet it would make finding a parking spot (and even getting into the parking lot in the first place!) much faster, too!
Where do you go for school supplies shopping? Â Target, etc?
yes i’m planning on taking him to target! last year i just did a curbside order from target for his supplies. his list is pretty specific (certain colors of notebooks, certain pencils, etc) and they have them all!
I got my first box of peaches two years ago, and was also not expecting the line. Had my one year old with me, in the heat, no stroller, and I was on the phone trying to get someone to come repair our AC. This year, I pre-ordered a box, brought the stroller, rain jackets just in case, and picked up donuts on our way in case I had to bribe the toddler to stay in line. I literally walked up to the table, showed my purchase confirmation on my phone, and walked away with peaches. So quick! Definitely try again next year!
Oh, man! I got peaches from the truck the first time they were in Pittsburgh and showed up right at 10am–maybe even a little before–because I live two minutes away from the Anthro outlet. I could NOT BELIEVE the traffic coming up the hill when I left…if they come back to the same spot next year, I’d get more, but I definitely wouldn’t make a long drive for them. FWIW we get our CSA from Dillner Family Farms and their peaches are *almost* as good. :)
Oh no you missed your peaches.. I ordered my first from them this year got there right at 8:30a and there were like 3 people in line. This was the first time they came to Raleigh (I believe) so maybe that was why but those peaches oh so worth it. We ate so many gave away a few and I made 2 of the best peach pies I’ve ever made. Totally give them another try. Their slingers (that get your order) are top notch and fast. Love The Peach Truck Tour. Next year I’m ordering 50lbs instead of 25.
The mosquito abatement truck just came by yesterday and put mosquito bricks in our rain barrels! Ha! They can all die.
Also, sunburns are a huge no for me. But I do like watermelon and berries and tomatoes in summer.
For all of you peach lovers… You know you can do a weekly The Peach Truck summer peach subscription, right? Comes right to your door each week/every other week, and life is good. Nobody has time for lines or standing in the sweltering heat!
I don’t know if this is just my phone, but for the last couple weeks I can look at Tuesday Things through the link you post on Instagram but if I go straight to the crumbs section of the website, it’s not there? Am I losing my mind?
I have the same thing! I’ve noticed that Tuesday Things through Crumbs tends to show up later in the day but it is published and accessible if you go via the direct link.
Yes I’ve noticed this too! I mistakenly assumed Jessica was in early labor a few weeks before she had Jordan because a Tuesday Things post didn’t show up that morning lol! Shows how reliant I am on this food blog :)
I made the same assumption! Thanks for validating that I’m not going crazy. Yet. ;)
Just got some eastern peaches.
I have to move quick, they get ripe fast!
I tried watching Outer banks and it was a total flop but there is a new show called Cheap Old Houses that is really interesting. Also, if you like crafting there’s a show on NBC called Making It that is really inspiring.
Outer Banks season 1 is worth it (season 2 is a little iffy). Highly recommend Never Have I Ever
OMG yes, watch Outer Banks. Season two has a few far fetched moments, but it’s excellent escapism!! I will definitely binge watch season three as soon as it comes out!!
Outer Banks is such a good show! It’s teen soapy, but I love it.
I am laughing because I had a similar experience with a spider in the shower once, but it was like 6am and my husband was asleep so I decided to be brave and kill it myself (BIG MISTAKE). Well, I grabbed a flip flop and tried to smash it but IT JUMPED RIGHT AT ME and I screamed bloody murder. I was in the master bath while my husband slept soundly through my screams just 20 feet away from me and I still to this day joke that he could sleep through me getting murdered and he’d never know.
