The Little Issues Publication #486 – Life, laughter, and many nice meals!

Welcome to the weekend, my mates! I’m in Santa Fe, NM this weekend with my sisters. We’re absorbing the cool, wet day right now and having fun with our espresso this morning with trip pastries. (Anybody else profit from the enjoyable pastries when touring and barely try this at dwelling? I’m all about it.) We’ll be enjoying video games, doubtless doing one other puzzle or two, and heading out for extra strolling as effectively, if and when the climate clears. It’s thrills a minute over right here – simply the best way I find it irresistible.

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Have you ever seen the new website design? I’m loving it a lot. Hopefully, you’ll discover it easier to navigate and discover precisely what you’re craving!

We’re making all my favourite and best recipes this weekend, and I’m wanting ahead to all the pieces. Egg roll in a bowl ramen is an irresistible skillet of deconstructed egg rolls tossed with ramen noodles, and I’m telling you now that you’re going to find it irresistible.

And you may’t have an egg roll bowl with out the drizzle of bang bang sauce, are you able to? It’s merely irresistible. This candy and spicy sauce has turn out to be a staple in my fridge over the previous few years. 

I’ve been making this chicken waldorf salad on repeat each week for months now, and it’s the lunch plan for right now. I’m nowhere close to bored with it. 

I’ll provide you with one guess what’s for breakfast over right here. At dwelling or when touring, it’s my go-to meal. And these jammy eggs might be occurring as effectively. 

Scorching tea and steamed milk are all you want to make a London fog. Made with or with out caffeine, this can be a drink you’ll get pleasure from all day lengthy. And I plan to get pleasure from a minimum of one later right now whereas it’s wet outdoors and I’m cozy inside. 

Is there something extra cozy than a piping sizzling melting grilled cheese on a wet day? Ours should wait till tomorrow’s lunch, for the reason that bread received’t be prepared till then, however will probably be well worth the wait. (Additionally, when you aren’t utilizing sourdough to your grilled cheese sandwiches, you’re lacking out! It’s an actual sport changer.)

These hibiscus margaritas are deeeelicious. Jenny made them for us final night time and added a chamoy rim – 1000 stars, extremely advocate. I’ll be sharing our model of the recipe quickly! 

What I’m CRAVING: My little sister has been making sourdough for some time, and it’s soooo good. She is an enormous fan of Maurizio Leo (extremely advocate his website for all the information you could ever need regarding sourdough!) We have now been snacking on rosemary asiago sourdough and inexperienced chile cheddar sourdough all weekend. And she or he’s prepping a basic sourdough for the oven as I write this. I can hardly wait!

My FAVORITE THINGS this week are my earbuds. If I’ve shared them as soon as, I’ve most likely shared them a half dozen instances over the previous few years. For lower than $30? They’re top-of-the-line purchases I’ve ever made, and I can’t think about touring with out them at this level. 

What I’m LISTENING to: in the intervening time, we’re streaming an 80s station and my older sister is prone to begin moonwalking at any second. It’s by no means boring round right here.

“When I’m afraid, I put my belief in you. In God, whose phrase I reward— in God I belief and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” Psalm 56:3-4 NIV
