Checklist 69

It’s possible I’m obsessing over house changes because I’m, well, in my house a lot. Should I paint the cabinets? Greywash them? I need more art. I should move the art I do have…

  • As someone who loves shrimp, this article and its accompanying photo is epic: How to Cook Shrimp. Three I want to try (I usually sauté, which wasn’t even mentioned?! which probably means it’s bad?!):
    • For speedy shrimp with the best texture and flavor, roast
    • For a big batch of shrimp to pair with an exciting side and/or sauce, boil
    • For saucy, spicy shrimp that won’t dry out, braise
  • More ice cream cakes, please!
  • Love this exploration of the beloved Houston’s+ chain (Hillstone restaurant group)

  • I’m a long, long time mint.com user to combine all my financial info in one view; but since they sold to Intuit in 2016, they haven’t updated the app. I did my capstone project in b-school on a banking app four years ago and STILL haven’t found a great replacement. But after all the fear of giving a new platform access to all my banking info, I did a week-long trial of Copilot and am very impressed with it—enough so that I paid $70 for the year-long subscription. Use my code to try a month of Copilot free: DCD7VM.
  • Just found the art website for a friend from high school, and kind of obsessed with her “Perpetually Reflected” painting!
  • Also loving this watercolor.

Buy All The Things!

  • These Old Navy wide leg pj pants were a necessity-order to get over the cast, but they are SO soft and cozy, it’s unbelievable. I’d order more, except they’re sold out in most colors! (*also I wore them out last-minute to a show recently and was horrified looking at myself in the bathroom mirror, so my love for them is on ice at the moment; I’m sure they’ll make a comeback—in home only—once I get over the shock)
  • Another winery up for sale in Fredericksburg! Only $2.8M!
