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

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

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 trying ahead to the whole lot. 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 will like it.

And you’ll’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 at present. I’m nowhere close to bored with it. 

I’ll provide you with one guess what’s for breakfast over right here. At residence or when touring, it’s my go-to meal. And these jammy eggs shall be taking place as nicely. 

Sizzling tea and steamed milk are all it’s worthwhile 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 no less than one later at present whereas it’s wet outdoors and I’m cozy inside. 

Is there something extra cozy than a piping scorching 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 definitely worth the wait. (Additionally, in the event you aren’t utilizing sourdough in 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 evening and added a chamoy rim – 1000 stars, extremely suggest. 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 suggest his web site for all the information you could ever need regarding sourdough!) We’ve got been snacking on rosemary asiago sourdough and inexperienced chile cheddar sourdough all weekend. And he or she’s prepping a traditional 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 in all probability shared them a half dozen occasions over the previous few years. For lower than $30? They’re among the finest purchases I’ve ever made, and I can’t think about touring with out them at this level. 

What I’m LISTENING to: for the time being, 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
