Delicious dinner...I'm a lucky baker🥰 The semolina bread is Maurizio Leo's Pane Siciliano from The Perfect Loaf website. One of my current best sellers at the markets.

Tonight’s dinner. I made lasagna for Christmas and froze the leftovers in 2 person portions. So I took a piece out last night to thaw and it’s an easy meal with a salad and some good bread. And yummy! 😀

Plot twist to start the year: I’m moving back to #Dallas! In early February, I’ll start a new role as Director of Legacy and Gift Planning at Children’s Health. I’m thrilled to be returning to gift planning and will lead our efforts in legacy and non-cash philanthropy. 1/

Shout out to my aunt for this Christmas gift, which I have a lot of questions about.

A bowl like this had been in my family for over 50 years. I loved it because its so big. It had a crack and when I was washing it it broke. My friend had an estate sale and she had the EXACT SAME BOWL so I was able to replace it! It's crazy because it's super old. I'm so excited I got a new one!

You end day one with a Sazerac and bowl of gumbo at the bar. Isn’t that charming.

Oh that's very good

I hear there have been A LOT of RSVP's for tonight (no surprise, Marion probably knows 4X's as many people in Baltimore as I do) but I'm sure there's room for a few more. Come see us!

Join @lauralippman.bsky.social at the Ivy Bookshop in Baltimore tonight at 6 p.m. for a conversation with Marion Winik (FIRST COMES LOVE, @vintagebooks.bsky.social). It's our Spotlight Event! www.washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com/features/mar... #booksky

Butter not be!

Called it! The PA Farm Show butter sculpture this year is the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Obviously the Founding Fathers believed in a butter union.

Don’t nobody in Philly eat no lettuce and tomato on no cheesesteak! And if it got Wiz on it it’s for tourists.

This is awful on so many levels, not the least of which is that their staff just won a years-long labor strike and they were informed of the closure over a pre-recorded Zoom message. PA's 2nd-largest city is now in danger of becoming a news desert. www.inquirer.com/news/pennsyl...

Nice one! I got it in four. Sorry to jump in here but my son & I created a word game called Seeds, you should check it out of you haven’t already. Totally free, just for fun. seedswordgame.com

I mean, I actually kind a want to drive two hours and go tomorrow now. 🤣

Love that the PA Dept. of Agriculture put out a press release with an email subject line and headline stating, as fact, that "Founding Father Benjamin Franklin" will tour the Farm Show tomorrow. In the body of said press release, it's never mentioned again or explained. 10/10. No notes.

Need to try this 😋💕

🐋 I’m a bit behind, but have a word-use/idiom question for everyone. In the story of Jonah they describe the air in the cabin as “close.” This is part of my lexicon for stuffy, claustrophobic but a friend from elsewhere in the U.S. had not heard it. Is it a New England thing?

Thanks to the fabulous @katelufkin.bsky.social I know a couple that have worked there recently, and was given a few names to mention. Walking into this feels so much different. I'm not there to prove something, I'm there to be part of the team.

Of course! That looks amazing 🤩 I love making chopped Italian subs at home.

Made a new playlist

Hoagie paper 🤣😂🤣🤣

If anyone has worked there, or knows of someone who has with extra aprons I am interested.

I love the true dichotomy of my social media today. It’s been either …everything happening… or folks in Louisiana having full on conniption fits over king cake and Carnival season starting. AND NO IN BETWEEN. Glad to be on the half with the sugar and sparkles. #nolasky #nolatwitter

In my continued effort to be excited about things without worrying that I'm cursing myself, I wanted to tell everyone I start at Herbsaint 🌱 Thursday! I have two friends already there, and a bestie from Bayona started yesterday! Major "getting the band back together" feels.

Sledgehammer! is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Created by the amazingly gifted @mralanspencer.bsky.social It’s absolutely perfect for this moment. Like watching Dr. Strangelove during the Cuban Missile Crisis. But funnier. No one (but Alan) told us how dumb the coup would actually be.

Today we kicked off year 3 of Pastauary which is a holiday my husband and I invented. To celebrate Pastauary you just go out for pasta a bunch of times in January. 🤷‍♀️😅🍝 All are welcome to observe!

Monday night pizza. Pepperoni.

Yeah I had so much more energy pre-pandemic.

See, Gambino's called King Cake "...a Mardi Gras party tradition," and y'all are out here hoarding them like you're stocking your bomb shelter. #NOLAsky #KingCake #Carnival
