HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!! I’m off today (yay long weekend!!) so I will be playing in my book-world all day, and I have a few fun posts planned. But of course, let’s start with the main list of the day, our Monday Earlybirds!!!
THREE THINGS:
1.) I’m making a vegetable salad today! Okay okay… LOL!!! I know that’s an oxymoron ’cause duh! All salads are veggie salads, but this is my mom’s version (and she hates veggies – but this is something she does enjoy) ’cause it’s ALL SORTS of veggies (literally anything and all of it is super finely chopped). Cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, celery, onions – at least in my version today). The trick is everything is super finely minced, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. I think I’ll even add cilantro or parsley. I LOVE this. Here’s an example (but mine will be lighter – dressing wise).
2.) I will be blogging all day today, while I let “The Tinder Swindler” play in the background, to entertain me while I do “book stuff”. I haven’t watched it yet, right now on episode one, and I have no idea how she could NOT believe it. I mean… he was proving his wealth with the trips etc… and OMG!! What’s gonna happen? How is this going to change?? Eeeeeeep!!!
3.) I’m almost finished a highly recommended book by our crew here, and I am LOVING it. Everyone was right about this author. She’s pretty incredible (I just needed many breaks at the beginning of the book due to how dark it was at first…) Oooooooph!!!

Oh, another thing… my dad thought it’d be a good idea to split the building he owned in SoHo between me and his tenant, the undeniably maddening Brad Navarro.

Good morning!
1. I have a friend coming this week and I’m going to make her teach me how to can. I spent a huge part of yesterday down the canning rabbit hole and think I have the gist of it. I’m starting with pickled frog balls! (brussels sprouts) https://suttonsdaze.com/pickled-brussel-sprouts/
2. I’m also planning to start a container vegetable garden in about a month–mainly for bell peppers (if I can do it) and tomatoes. Those are the 2 most expensive organic veggies we eat A LOT of.
3. I made jalapeno infused vodka for my whole30 reintroduction of alcohol! It was yummy (and hot!) but I did not like the headache I woke up with!
Ooh that sounds delicious RR!
I’ve made vanilla bean infused vodka. AMAZING!! Bought them (long perfect vanilla beans) at an organic Farmers market, and I’d love to do that again. 😀
Oh that sounds yummy!!
OHHHH PICKLED FROG BALLS!!!! I would love those. I need to do that ASAP!!
1. Sitting in a cafe having a latte & muffin. I wish Morning Glory muffins were still around. Hard to find those.
2. Watched Flight Attendant series & loved it. Now watching Snow Piercer series with the guys. Very good.
3. When will winter stop?
Breakfast in a café sounds lovely! Very European compared to where I am!
*Sigh* Would love a tiny trip to Paris. “Beam me up Scotty”
Oh god me too. We’re going back to Mexico next so it will be a while before we can get back to Europe.
🙂
