5.16.14 1. This is something I’ve always felt strongly about as an educator- it’s important to say “I don’t know.”

2. Um, yeah. I want this.

3. Everything about this sounds delightful.

4. Free Willy.

5. I am terrible at peeling hard boiled eggs. Maybe this will help?

6. Edible water. I think we need to try this at school!

7. This cake really is everywhere. I’m always on the lookout for unpasteurized buttermilk/dairy so that I can experiment with the chemical reaction behind this famous cake.

8. I’ve been thinking of getting dog portraits done for their 1st & 2nd birthdays. I know, I’ve gone off the deep end.

9. This is old, but just about the sweetest thing ever.

10. We got chicks! For school! They are the cutest thing and I am dying.

1. Maybe it’s time to pick up some squid.

2. I wrote a little something in this month’s issue of Paprika Southern about my grandma.

3. This might be a new-house summer project.

4. My friend, who is a marriage and family therapist, said this is the best article he’s read on the gender gap.

5. I could be more creative with how I use spinach.

6. I think I have present shock.

7. I learned how to run in these shoes. I trained for and ran a marathon and a 21 mile trail race in these shoes. I don’t want to get into the “anecdotal” “science” of minimalist running, but they helped me become a runner.

8. Don’t say “I have a boyfriend.”

9. A good starting place.

10. Rachael got married!

While we were in San Francisco I had a few days when I was on my own, left to my own devices to explore the city and see the sights. One day, while walking through the Mission and checking things off of my list, I stumbled on a place that had a great happy hour special. I was exhausted, I still had hours before dinner, and a cocktail and a snack seemed like the perfect idea.

It was a two-for-one situation, so I ended up with a caipirinha, a Moscow mule, moules frites, and Thai spiced Brussels sprouts. It was all exactly what I wanted, but the Brussels sprouts in particular were phenomenal. As soon as we got home, I tried my hand at the recipe and loved it. Sweet, spicy, and perfectly crisp, these, paired with the garlic skillet smashed potatoes and a fried egg, made for a fast, easy, and delicious weeknight meal.
