The Weekly Walk With Me

Like millions of east coast 'Mericans, I hunkered down for Blizzard 2016/ Winter Storm Jonas this weekend--or as my BFF put it  "Jonas spreads his love."  In my neck of the woods there were "phases" that went from 'this is fun' to 'get me the fuck out of here'--probably not unlike spending a weekend with an actual Jonas.

5 Things that Kept Me Warm in The Storm

1. Double-fisting these cocktails.

2. This book.

3. All this food I whipped up. And there was a lot of it. I'm not a 'take a picture of this sloppy mess and post it on Instagram like it looks delicious' person, so I only started taking pictures after I realized this could be blog fodder.

Roasted Vegetable Chili--a little sweet because, roasted; a little spicy because, red pepper flakes. 

Allspice Oat Bran with Dark Cherry Compote--yep, I made bran fancy.

Shakshuka--Jew food.

4. This spoiled cat who ruins my life on a daily basis but is too effin' cute to put in the microwave.

5.  This ridiculous candle that made my house smell like only the good parts of an Aunt Sarah's.
