Summer Saturdays Vol. 2
BAKING
Will make a batch of these heavenly blueberry breakfast cookies later today.
COOKING
I’ve perfected my tuna salad sandwich recipe and here it is. Canned tuna mixed with sliced pickles, chopped red onion, dijon, a drop mayo, pickle juice, grated garlic, salt & pepper on a bun that’s been toasted in garlic butter then broiled with cheddar on top. IT IS EVERYTHING.
CRAVING
Why will I always love Lay’s? Two reasons. 1) Their original chips taste the best at parties. 2) The fact that each summer they put out seasonal flavours. Will a cuban sandwich flavour taste incredible? Does it even matter? It’s the EFFORT of creating something new. I’m a woman who will appreciate effort until the day I die.

DRINKING
Snow cones for life.

EATING
Finally went to Golden Diner and fully recommend. I am not a pancake person (because they’re so boring?) but these were other-worldly. Better than Clinton St. Baking Company.

EXPERIENCING
A grimy, Queens carnival! And can I just tell you, the Superman ride truly scared the living hell out of me. I didn’t think I could still feel that way from rides, so that was alarming (but in a fun way?).

LISTENING
The Jiminy Glick Bill Maher interview and it’s so good.
LOVING
The happy hour at Hotel on Rivington on the Lower East Side. $10 martinis in Manhattan? Get the hell out of here.
SHOPPING
Is it sad that I’m over the moon about the Scrubbing Bubbles Foaming Bleach Cleaner I got for the grout in my washroom? If your answer is yes, then I suggest you look inward because holy mother of god, this is a dream cleaner. How have I only discovered it NOW?
WATCHING
Reruns of Living Single on HBO. Now this is a reboot that would heal the world.
WEARING
Technically you don’t wear face wash, so yes I’m reaching here but stay with me. I finally started to use my Dennis Gross all-in-one face wash and I will forever be loyal to that man. A perfect face wash.
Last week’s Summer Saturdays Vol. 1 can be found over here and I’m keeping a summer highlights section over here.

Yes the 2024 Olympics were a distraction. And a little bit cringe.
But the joy. The camaraderie. The emphasis on mental health and the diverse physicalities that were portrayed. The "Please stand if you can."
The fact that 50% of athletes were women. The fact that Saint Lucia's first-ever Olympic medal was gold. Simone Biles, Sha'Carri Richardson, Katie Ledecky, the US men's gymnastics team; the Refugee Team, the Ukranian team, the (8!) Palestinian athletes.
Flavor Flav sponsoring the US water polo team. Snoop Dog cheering on every athlete he found.
And more.
I've never really been interested in the Olympics but this year made me cry. There's still good in this world, I think.
