Five Good Things: Summer Girls Go Edition
Oh hi there, blogland.
1. It’s almost June so we are in full-on party mode around here. My baby sister comes in on Saturday for a weekend full of summer love, including but certainly not limited to a walk on the beach, a six pack of raspberry UFO, and the 3rd annual kitchendoor Memorial Day rooftop barbecue. Speaking of which: would love your favorite recipes for BBQ-type salads. Will probably do a tomato+feta and an avocado+bean, but am always looking to mix it up a little. We live on the edge, you know. Am wondering abut a potato salad with bacon and dill.
2. Getting home from babysitting to find Tom asleep on the couch like a little kid with his dinner half-eaten on the coffee table in front of him. His response: “I…guess I took a nap.”
3. NPR’s Radio Boston. Also, the fact that the host of NPR’s Radio Boston is named Megna Chakrabarti. Also, the fact that I went to college with a girl named Katalaya Jiraboondilak.
4. Current uniform: skinny jeans + Gap v-neck + spring scarf + flip flops + sunglasses.
5. Daydreaming about cowboys and gas stations and broken-down bungalows with dusty front lawns and bathtubs in the yard. Calling said daydreaming “work”.
What are you guys up to?

I have two cookouts, so I’m going to do the panzanella for one, and for the other one, I have a pasta salad which includes tortellini, goat cheese, and every spring-y vegetable you can think of. Including radishes. Will keep you posted. Have fun!

You know what’s really good? It’s tomato/feta/basil pasta salad with lite caesar salad dressing. Basically you boil some pasta, chop lots of grape tomatoes in half or quarters, roll and chop basil, crumble feta cheese, and then toss it all with the dressing. OMG SO GOOD.

WAit, dirty broken-down bungalows with bathtubs in the yard…you’re day-dreaming about Poughkeepsie?

I’m just wondering where you went?
