Hello, world! Remember when I stopped eating carbs? ahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahah they're back now, with a vengeance. But also now paired with this deluded belief that eating a ton of cheese will help me look foine (it did, though!). So that's how October is going.
Hello, earthlings! Guess what this week was? My birthday!!! Yes, the whole week. Just kidding. I realized I kind of overcompensated with talking about my birthday ahead of time and then people did 1,000 nice things for me rather than the 5 to 10 that I kind of anticipated. I got free fancy dinners, gifts, macarons, a babka, a bacon egg and cheese, mad drinks at da club (a bar or two), and a surprise party that I had to cancel cause all the previous fun knocked me down and I caught a lil flu!
Happy Labor Day! I labored in a v physical way, aka I went hiking in the Hudson Valley (the most beautiful nature place in the whole damn world) and now I am pooped as fck. Legs are pure jelly. Also, yesterday, I cleaned--nay, SCRUBBED--my kitchen from top to bottom like a madwoman. So my arms are jelly too.
I made this cake with Candice this weekend. It's dairy-free and uses buckwheat flour which I hear is a good substitute for those with gluten allergies/sensitivity. So, this is a dairy-free, gluten-free cake. We did this because dairy makes Candice very gassy. However, she was still very gassy after the experience, so I'm not sure if I helped at all. (Lol, that's half a joke, sorry Can.)
Hey, what's up, hello! I'm sitting on my couch while Chloe and Thomas cook me crêpres... how very French. They are both visiting while they prep for their three-month cycling trip across the United States. Me and Dan are being awkward hosts, showing them clips of Pierre Escargot (which is incomprehensible to French-speakers, btw), and shouting "zut alors!" and "chin chin!" when we clink our glasses of bordeaux together.
