My mom owns a garment we call The Bird. It is a full-length poncho. Like a person blanket. With arm holes. Likely someone hand-knit the thing for her, twenty years ago before sleeping-bag-onesies were a real thing (and what a cool real thing they are). Admittedly, The Bird is warm on a cold winter’s night,…
Secret Pasta Recipe from a Famous French Guy
One of the scene-iest scenes in Orange County is Fig & Olive, so when I found out FIG & OLIVE’s founder/owner Laurent Halasz was releasing a cookbook AND throwing a party to celebrate it, obviously I was in. The party was fabulous and the food obviously divine, but the highlight of the evening was Laurent stopping…
Natty | Feel Good Friday 110615
Natty, I’m grateful for my constant plus one. “I thought your burrito was going to be your Feel Good Friday.”
Half a Burrito!
LOOK AT THIS HALF OF A BURRITO! I know you’re thinking why do I want to see a half-eaten burrito? BECAUSE I ate half the burrito and it didn’t fall apart! Because it’s like a real burrito! But without gluten! It’s not grainy like Ezekial and it’s not corn like corn tortillas and it doesn’t break…
Riding that Riding Train … what? On spinning.
Why is it that when lifters want to get lean or even just skinny, they start spinning? Cardio? But what specifically about spinning makes it better cardio than anything else? I don’t know. But will tell you that I. Hate. Spin. But I have been going consistently, and, well, it works. If you wanna be…
YOLO | Feel Good Friday 103015 on Sunday
Life’s hard. I’m grateful for the highs and lows. I’ll get my shit back together soon, pinkie swear.
A BEAUTIFUL APOCALYPSE
Buy my little brother’s book! A Beautiful Apocalypse ($4.99 for ebook, $17.09 for paperback) The book signing party on Tuesday night in Austin was a smashing success, Jordan gave a great little speech, and a few local zombies stopped by too. I haven’t read the book since an early draft, but if the finished product is…
Dudes, Football, Fitwall, and Other Dumb Stuff I’m Grateful For | Feel Good Friday 102315
I just have to say … I like guys. Like, not one in particular, but I like to date guys. I have crushes on guys. Good, that’s settled. I also like football. I also like trying out Fitwall with my girls (but I still like to date dudes). I also like my unstainable white dress…
Pendleton Blanket
I am obsessed with this blanket. It is perfect. It is wool. It is slightly scratchy. It is made for beaches, bonfires, cabins in the woods, tents, tailgates, couches, and cuddling. It is Pendleton. It is American nostalgia. It is dreams and stereotypes and aspirations. It is what I built my entire living room around:…
Eat ALL THE (chickpea) PASTA!
This baby, found on the Banza website, is basically me. For as long as I’ve been able to eat it, I’ve LOVED pasta. After Paleo-ing for many many years, I don’t eat much pasta (but if it’s homemade, OH PLEASE I’M EATING ALLLLL OF IT), so I was pretty thrilled to find a pasta with…
