Welcome back, everyone! How are we all doing? I can’t stop thinking about this Smitten Kitchen recipe for Pizza Beans. We ate almost all of it in one go and have been mourning the loss of leftovers. Do y’all have any recent recipes that you’re loving? I’m also hoping we’re slowly sliding into fall soon in New England. I’m a sucker for “soup season” and big, oversized sweaters. … Sarah: I was the guest this … Continue reading Links: Podcasts, Reading Recs, & More →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! I’m currently on a social interaction hiatus and wow, does it feel great not to make plans for a while. I’m also not as motivated to leave my home when it’s above 85 degrees. No, thank you! In monumental news, our shy Toast (the cat we adopted in May who was rescued from a hoarding situation) walked up to my hand and gave it a sniff. It’s the first time … Continue reading Links: 90s TV, Strikes, & More →
Welcome to Wednesday Links! A Toast update! We installed a cat cam in the spare room, just to see how much exploring Toast was doing. That boy loves gazing out the window and looking at himself in the mirror. This weekend, we have plans to open up the second floor a little bit (which is just a bathroom, master bed, and spare room) and put a gate up at the top of the stairs. Linus … Continue reading Links: Graphic Novels, Dungeons and Dragons, & More →
When Sarah first told The Bitchery about the new US version of the British reality show The Traitors, I immediately thought it sounded too stressful for my taste. The Traitors has twenty contestants competing in a murder mystery game where a few of them are secretly Traitors, trying to eliminate the rest of the contestants and keep the prize money for themselves. They’re all trapped in a sprawling Scottish estate where they spend their days … Continue reading Stuff You Should be Watching: The Traitors →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links, where we collectively share cool and funny shit from around the internet. Saturday was bookstore romance day and my own panels were a blast. If you attended some virtual events, I’d love to hear about which ones you went to! Let’s get into it already, shall we? … First off, thanks to Tara for sending this my way. Author Roxane Gay posted this Google doc in a recent newsletter that … Continue reading Links: Haiti, Tabletop Games, & More →
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 →
A recent Rec League on tortured love spawned a SBTB discussion about Asian dramas, which often have lots of pining in their romantic arcs. Not all of these are romances, but Shana and I really want to geek out about Asian dramas and hear about your recommendations too! We’ve done a few guest reviews and suggestion posts previously, but we’d love some newer options! Most, if not all of these, are available through Viki to watch. … Continue reading Stuff You Should Be Watching: Asian Dramas →
It’s the last day of June! How’s everyone feeling? We have a heat wave right now in New England and it’s the pits. My cat Linus does not care for it and does whatever he can to cool his belly off. Fourth of July weekend is almost here. Do you all have any plans? I don’t think I do just yet. … A couple weeks ago, Twitter was exclaiming their love for pigeons and why … Continue reading Links: LeVar Burton, Pigeons, & More →
Romance fans, there is a version The Bachelor that isn’t terrible! Let’s visit New Zealand, where at least one man will fall for you when a koala poops in your belly button. My reading took a nosedive as we hit the March pandemic anniversaries, so I turned to television. Every season I try to enjoy The Bachelor, and most years I angrily give up midway and read Elyse’s recaps instead. I want my dating shows … Continue reading Squee: Bachelor New Zealand →
Hey hey! It’s Wednesday! How have you all been? The last couple weeks have been an absolute blur. Not sure why. The weather has been stupidly nice here and, so far, not an allergy to be had. Fingers crossed they’ve flown the coop for good! Let’s get ready for links! … I know we’ve talked about The Nanny and fashion before in Wednesday Links, which is why I went nuts for this interview with the show’s … Continue reading Links: The Nanny, Britney Spears, & More →
The Great* An Occasionally True Story, is written and produced by Tony McNamara, who also wrote The Favourite. It’s very easy to tell if you’ll like The Great. Did you like The Favourite? Do you like gorgeous clothes? Do you feel strongly that you would watch Nicholas Hoult do anything at all? Do you enjoy very dry, dark humor and furious women who weaponize sarcasm? If so, you will like The Great, and if not, … Continue reading The Great* An Occasionally True Story →
