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. Like…Florida has its own brand of Christmas style, but it … Continue reading Links: Magazines, Book Drama, & More
Hello, all! How are we?! I honestly feel like I can’t remember what I’ve been up to. I’m in the midst of that allergy haze. Toast is slowly settling. He’s hiding less, which feels like a good sign! My partner and I finished the tutorial scenarios of Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, which took longer than expected. However, I really enjoyed it and I’m eager to get into the real campaign. Some other highlights: I made … Continue reading Links: Quizzes, Stunts, & More
Good morning! It’s a slow content day, so that means Wednesday Links is up first thing! This evening, I will be off to Germany, after having weeks of anxiety about traveling. Thank goodness I also had therapy yesterday to get all my thoughts and feelings out. I have an overnight flight with a stopover in Iceland. I’m very excited to be reunited with my brother, who I haven’t seen in at least 3 years. Also, … Continue reading Links: Crochet, Farah Heron, & More
Welcome back to Wednesday Links, lovelies! I feel like it’s been longer than a week since last time. Big thank you to everyone for their travel suggestions. I have a phone call scheduled with my brother for Sunday to talk details. He also mentioned doing a long weekend in the Alps. He’s sent me photos before and wow, does it look gorgeous. If you’ve been following along on the podcast, I’m trying to give myself … Continue reading Links: Tiramisu, Auctions, & More
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! First off, thank you for all your kind messages from last week! Sarah and I recently had our end of the year check-in. (She’s a wonderful boss, by the way, and I mean it.). She always asks me to come prepared with what things on the site I’ve enjoyed this year. I named this post because we’ve created such a nice little community in the comments and it’s been a … Continue reading Links: Dryers, Jorts, & More

You Sexy Thing involves characters, settings, themes and tropes that are pure catnip for me. One of these themes is cooking. I have therefore translated the book into a recipe so as best to convey its nature. Before we begin the recipe, here’s a quick overview. You Sexy Thing is the space opera tale of a group of both military veterans and civilians who run a restaurant on a space station and who find themselves, … Continue reading You Sexy Thing by Cat Rambo
It’s Wednesday! Did you know that? Wild, I know. This week feels a little off. I did see Black Widow last night and I’m about to dive into the great discussion we had on it. I didn’t read it yet because of spoilers. Hope you all had a great weekend, with another fantastic one in store for you in a few days! … Yes, I won’t stop talking about Ted Lasso. The new season starts on Friday … Continue reading Links: Mark Hamill, Sun-Dried Tomatoes, & More
Recently I needed something to watch while painting my nails and dove into the cooking section of my BritBox subscription. Obviously I can’t touch things while the lacquer is drying so it has to be something I don’t need to fast-foward or skip around in. Rural Bucolic Murder Shows are right out. The documentary and lifestyle section, however, is lovely. BritBox, which we’ve written about before, is a subscription streaming service from the BBC and … Continue reading A New BritBox Favorite: Nigellissima!
Hey hey! It’s Wednesday! Honestly, this is my least favorite time in New England. My allergies are still present, but there’s also a bit of a heat wave. And, if you live in the area, you know that central air isn’t super common in houses. Fun! I am just a sweaty mess for most of the day. … Thank you to Beth, who sent this link my way. The podcast 99% Invisible did an episode on … Continue reading Links: Milkshakes, Music, & More
Hana Khan Carries On is part epistolary, part coming of age story, and all heart. Hana, aka AnaBGR, an aspiring broadcast producer, podcaster, and storyteller, is struggling on several fronts. There’s the difficulty in breaking into broadcast in general, there’s her racist boss who presumes to be #woke, her family’s struggling restaurant, plus her sister’s risky pregnancy. What she definitely did NOT need on this list was Mr. Silver Shades to come sauntering in with … Continue reading Hana Khan Carries On by Uzma Jalaluddin
