Tuesday Things.
1. I bought the mums above this weekend and they are the “pink pineapple paradise” variety. Um, has there ever been a better name?!
2. The most gorgeous bloody mary board I’ve ever seen.
3. Oh and thoughts on butter boards? At first I thought they were pretty but now I just keep thinking of all the greasy butter all over the board, the sharing of the butter, the crumbs, etc. Yesterday I saw a cream cheese board. I mean…
4. And do we need another pumpkin bread recipe? I want to share one buuuut there are about five billion out there. Hint: mine involves cinnamon sugar!
5. Guys sometimes I look back at my old photos and just laugh hysterically. Like 13 years ago when I’d photograph my recipes outside in the grass on a diagonal. Who knew!
6. The benefits of tracking your habits. I love this.
7. TV Things!! I watched Do Revenge and it’s like a mix of Clueless and Mean Girls and sort of terrible but also mind numbing light TV. Let me know if you watched! I also really want to see Don’t Worry Darling after all the drama everywhere.
8. Also, oh my gosh, have you seen previews for the Whitney movie – I Wanna Dance with Somebody?!”
9. Um, are there dead wasps in our figs? WHAT! I did not know this. Glad they clarified the crunchy bits too.
10. I asked this about three months ago but since they aren’t going away: how do you feel about Reels on IG now?

i have seen the butter boards also – i am coming from life with the inability to digest fats…and all i can think of – is while it’s pretty and trendy, it’s so unhealthy – even for normal people.
thoughts on the butter boards: https://podcasts.apple.com/ng/podcast/butter-boards-weve-gone-too-far-ft-jared-freid/id1374942074?i=1000580458942 = this made me laugh so much
That is the best name and perfectly describes those mums. I love butter, but I can’t see that being a good trend. Are there ever too many pumpkin bread recipes? You had me at cinnamon sugar :-)
No to butter boards. And extra no to cream cheese boards.
Yes to all of the pumpkin bread!
Still no to reels.
I’d absolutely love to see your pumpkin bread recipe as yours are always THE BEST! Please share!
I miss old Instagram. I miss just seeing my friends post pictures, now with all the suggested accounts, I hate it. Like ok, I watched one video on a gender reveal, stop showing me all the videos about those now!
I’ve been following you for 10+ years, you’ve evolved with photos, but so has photography 😊
I still hate reels! But pumpkin bread with cinnamon sugar? Yes please!
No to butter boards. An cream cheese boards. just no. It’s like someone forgot to buy cheese (or was too cheap to do so) for a party and put out what they had. I don’t want to share butter crummies. I want cheeese.
And pumpkin bread. Cinnamon sugar is always a nice touch.
#3 – I JUST had this conversation with friends over the weekend. We laughed because I’ve been making herb butter and serving it (in a glass bowl) with our cheese boards for years, so I get how good flavored or compound butter is, but really, on a board seems stupid…and hard to scoop up? And unnecessary. Ah TikTok trends.
I cannot do butter boards… don’t get me wrong, I love butter, but not as a dip or spread for crackers, veggies, etc. And totally agree with you re: the mess. ick.
I am always down for a new pumpkin bread recipe–especially one that involves cinnamon sugar!
I cannot STAND reels! Bring back still photography!
I could not agree more!!! Still photography is art!
Are butter boards actually happening IRL? I feel like it’s just a social media aesthetic. I too am bothered by the thought of the greasy butter left on the board.
Reels aren’t terrible, but I think that instagram has ruined the app in general. I hate all of the suggested and sponsored content it pushes over my actual follows. I do miss the days of just pictures.
100% no to butter boards. If you want a spread on your board put it in a bowl or ramekin!
Always more room for pumpkin breads!
I really wish people would stop posting reels for literally everything. Sometimes a still photo works better.
I loved Do Revenge! Mainly wanted to watch since I find Maya Hawke so captivating, but didn’t think it’d be as much fun as it was; loved the twists. I saw Don’t Worry Darling and I’d say go see it if you’re interested! Florence was remarkable as always and I couldn’t stop drooling over the set design. also had surprising twists!!
More pumpkin bread!
butter boards are a hard pass. period. a nice compound butter for all kinds of things, but spread out on a board? just. no. (for all the reasons i’ve already seen in the comments)
Pumpkin bread & cinnamon sugar on the other hand will be a hell yeah from this follower!
There’s a great children’s picture book called “Something Wonderful” all about the fig tree and it’s pollination, etc.

Fascinating!! I love nature 😍
Previews for “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” are fantastic! I’m looking forward to the release of the movie!
