Happy Wednesday Links! We’re going through a heatwave in New England right now and it is unpleasant, considering my apartment (and most apartments in the area) don’t have central AC. Summer is…unpleasant. Anyone else experiencing the same thing and trying to keep cool? Also, I hate cooking during this weather, so feel free to share your favorite summer recipes that don’t require me standing by a hot stove! … Beverly Jenkins has announced that her Blessings series … Continue reading Links: Kickstarters, Cheese, & More→
Welcome back to Links! I know I just did one of these last week, but it has felt much longer. Maybe it’s because I’ve been quite busy. I also went to the mall over the weekend. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been shopping, let alone an actual mall. I know TikTok has been abuzz with the tweens invading Sephora for skincare brands and I can confirm that it’s very real. As someone who … Continue reading Links: Cheese-Making, Fast Cats, & More→
Welcome back to Links! How are we all doing?! I have such a busy week and I’m running on fumes due to a minor cold and from still recovering from the previous busy week. But we will get through it! I’ve come to realize that I really do love the Christmas season and now living in a place that gets snow has only reinforced that.

Hey, everyone! It’s time to share some links! I’m definitely on the more fatigued side this week and am eager for Sunday, where I have absolutely zero plans and I can just loaf around to my heart’s content. I don’t have any established Halloween plans, but we’re getting off of a big event at work and we’re all exhausted. To perk the office up, I’ve decided to wear a hot dog costume to our department … Continue reading Links: Cheese, Whitney Houston, & More→
One of the things about food history that fascinates me is the origin of some of the things that we now take for granted. We accept that cheese comes in a near-infinite variety, but we don’t often think about WHY we figured out how to make cheese to begin with.

Cheese and butter is a way to preserve milk and reduce … Continue reading RedHeadedGirl’s Historical Kitchen: Butter and Cheese→
Yeah, that’s right – Netflix, cheese, and “Wonderwall.” If that’s not a winning combination, I don’t know what is. Regardless, I hope you all enjoy this selection of links and…I’m sorry, but there’s more Star Wars stuff. … The New York Times had a really great write-up on the women who helped bring the Star Wars universe to life, both on screen and off: Kathleen Kennedy founded the group in 2012 when she succeeded George Lucas … Continue reading Links: Netflix, Cheese, & Wonderwall→
As you may recall, Amanda and I are heading to Sweden this month, and in honor of the trip, I broke out this book from the late 1940s my mom gave me for Christmas. The thing that made this interesting for me to try was the fact that you’re supposed to make the cheese for this cheese cake. Ost: cheese. Kaka: cake. Ostkaka: Cheese cake! Cheese is fun! Cheese is FINICKY. As I said on … Continue reading RedHeadedGirl’s Historical Kitchen: Ostkaka→
