happy wednesday! this week is a good one, because friday ends with me in chicago for a slightly early celebration of two years with this amazing man.
two:
25 cooking mistakes even good cooks make. many are common sense. but take the time to watch gordon ramsey teach you how to chop an onion. i am testing this out next time, because blinking tears out of my eyes each time i need chopped onion is not my favorite. also, garlic. add more, always.
three:
in the food vein, 24 foods you hated as a kid but love as an adult. except to be honest, i still can't do grapefruit, runny eggs, olives, mushrooms, anchovies, and i'm not sure i've ever had okra. but considering i used to abhor brussels sprouts, cooked spinach, coffee, dark chocolate, eggplant, avocado, tomato, spicy food and onions too, i'd say i've made quite a bit of progress in the expand-your-food-horizons game. (yes, i was that kid who liked her sandwiches as bland as possible. sliced turkey with light miracle whip on toasted sourdough was my go-to.)
four:
good friends are gifts. mine are scattered around the country/globe, so chats and (unfortunately rare) visits with friends from high school, college, and law school are even more treasured. sometimes when i get busy with work and family life and all that, i forget that friendships deserve attention as well, so: 5 simple ways to be a better friend.
five:
some of these are good... you can almost feel the burn, even decades later. 19 scathing political put-downs. the comment contributions aren't bad either.
six:
