“Too bad Japanese plums don’t taste as good as they look. Aren’t those gorgeous? They were too pretty pass up, like a little bowl full of tropical sunsets. I’ve never been much of a plum person in general, and I read somewhere that the Japanese varietal is considered ‘inferior’ to the European in flavor. Lol! Poor little Japanese plums. Can you think of any way to make these tastier? I can’t throw them away, but they really don’t have very much flavor. Help!”
*My next dinner party is going to start with a shooter of cold soup. I just can’t decide what kind! Watermelon/jalapeno/feta? Southeast Asian gazpacho? English peas/garlic cream/pickled ramps?
*Is this the prettiest bread ever made? I think I have to make it and find out.
*Of course I saw this tutorial for sea salt texturizing hair spray the day AFTER I bought the Bumble and Bumble one for a small fortune (although I love theirs, so I’m not TOO sorry.)

“I’m headed to Tahoe this weekend for my annual family trip!! I look forward to this weekend all year and it looks like the weather is totally cooperating, the grill is ready and there’s a chance I’ll be able to find the favorite hoodie I left at the cabin last year. I’ll be posting tidbits on Instagram throughout the weekend so come follow along!”
