My Favorite Aperol Spritz

My Favorite Aperol Spritz

February 18, 2021 by Julie Leave a Comment

I saw a meme the other day (I’m sure you did too), the specifics of which I can’t recall, but it was something to the extent that 2021 is just a 2020 who can now drink. Yeah, pretty much. 2021, our drunken little hellscape baby, isn’t even two months old and yet a pandemic still…

A Very Wrong and Offensive Vodka Martini

A Very Wrong and Offensive Vodka Martini

In the absence of having anything valuable to add in kissing off this dumpster fire year we called 2020, I wrote some satire about one thing that always makes me laugh: the War on Christmas.  “Dear Valued Antifa Members, I trust this letter finds you well, or as well as possible under these trying circumstances,…

“This is the worst-case scenario, my friends. Don’t take anything for granted. Yes, you are voting. But they are not trying to win an election anymore. Those words should chill you, to your very bones. Because the truth is that more often than not — coups succeed.” —Umair Haque I’m dedicating today’s post, published on…

Last week I went on a Writing Retreat. Does that sound fancy? Serene? A tad self-indulgent? Are you picturing a secluded cabin in a beautiful, wooded, naturescape like the Catskills? Or perhaps a little seaside villa overlooking an idyllic rocky seaside in Maine? Are you possibly imagining a formally organized retreat, some lovely company that…

Imagine you are running a marathon with the goal of winning the race. I feel like it’s important to explicitly say the part about trying to win, because if I were to run a marathon, my only goal would be don’t die. But anyways, you’re running this marathon, for which you’ve trained for months if…

The end of 2019 is directly upon us, bearing down like a terrifying freight train or creeping in like a tortoise on downers, depending on your perspective and experience. Whatever anyone’s personal impression, we all agree this is the time of year every media outlet obsesses over (usually) best-of year-end lists. I feel the compulsion…

“Telling people not to complain is an act of power, a way of asserting that one’s position is more important than another one’s pain.” —Sarah Kendzior Senator Kamala Harris has officially announced her 2020 presidential bid!

“Screw it, let’s do it” –Richard Branson I’m back! Shortly after publishing this post, 2018 took an unexpected turn when Mr. Wallace and I upended all our best-laid plans and decided to finally become Real Adults: we bought a house in the suburbs. As is the case with most recent suburban New Jerseyan home-buyers, we…

Palomas with Chaat Masala! Need a drink tonight? O Palomas with Chaat Masala! Need a drink tonight? Of course you do! Want to at least feel like you're enjoying it on a tropical beach? That'd be nice... Here you go! 

Palomas are Margaritas' first cousins: grapefruit, tequila, agave syrup, and this very special, lovely version adds the Indian spice mix chaat masala for a unique twist you didn't expect. It's 💯😊💛

My Favorite Turkey Chili! Happy another snow day My Favorite Turkey Chili! 

Happy another snow day (or something) my fellow northeasterners! We got 2 feet yesterday, and another few inches today, and I'll just confirm that being stuck inside for blizzards > being stuck inside for pandemics. 

I'm craving chili rn, of course I didn't think ahead to get stuff to make it, but if I had, this beautiful turkey chili would be dinner tonight. Dark meat turkey, lots of earthy spices incl cocoa powder give it an almost mole vibe. I always serve any chili with Frito scoops and Shiner Bock, because part of me never really left Texas! 😍😍

New Post! Kale and Broccoli Yogurt Caesar I some New Post! Kale and Broccoli Yogurt Caesar 

I somehow took the month of January off social media. It wasn't planned; I spend January in a bit of a fog and a funk under the best of circumstances, and it turns out, a pandemic and an insurrection on the Capitol aren't the "best of circumstances" - SHOCKER!! 

So, how was it being mostly off Instagram for a month? The best answer I can give is 🤷‍♀️

Did I miss it? Nope, not even a little bit. 
Did it improve my life in any way? Again, no, not one bit. I'm still me, I'm still here, there's still a pandemic. Really digging this whole New President thing though 😊

Anyways, I did get some content #ontheblog in January, I hope you love it! First up, a lightened and super easy Caesar salad, which is hearty and creamy and tangy, and if you haven't tried torn croutons yet, well, I could sing their praises all day. Probably easiest to just try them to shut me up 😂😁

Chocolate Tahini Sheet Cake with Tahini Frosting i Chocolate Tahini Sheet Cake with Tahini Frosting is #ontheblog 👍👍
Today culminates one of the darkest weeks I've seen in a long time. I strongly suspected some sort of chaos would happen January 6th, but was still shaken by the depravity of it. One aspect I can't shake or wrap my head around is how we're all just... expected to go on with life. After watching half of Congress almost get assassinated. That happened, we saw it live, and it's just, go back to work, do the laundry, go on about your routine. No day of mourning, no time off to process the trauma. 

I feel very weird sharing recipes. Who's even thinking about cooking rn? There's no real way to rationalize it; it's my job, and like you, I have to keep working. If you want a stress bake, this cake will treat you well. Tahini - not just for hummus! It pairs with chocolate beautifully. 

Stay safe, take care of yourself. Keep using your voice to fight for justice. It'll get worse before it gets better. Sending you 💛💛💛
