Let us know what you think! We were torn between seeing Dune and seeing Ghostbusters and opted for the latter. (LOVED IT)

Good to know. Planning to see Ghostbusters today if possible.

Dune 2 was amazing!! Highly recommend!

Cooking a big pot of beef stew and eating jelly beans on the couch. I bought three bags of Brach’s jelly beans this year so I don’t run out.

I finally made it to the couch. (The stew took longer to get started than I anticipated. Hopefully the meat will be tender by dinner time)

Now the jellybeans!

Tomorrow I am buying SO MANY CHEAP JELLYBEANS

As an aside: not only are Starburst jellybeans my second favorite, Starbust lollipops are amazing.

Our local Dairy Queen has mini ice cream cake “cupcakes” and they are soooo good!

I loved it too! We are seeing Godzilla and Kong next week and I'm pretty excited for it. We hadn't been going to movies very often but lately we started going again. It's been fun to enjoy them more.

Oooh...those sound safer than having a whole ice cream cake in the freezer.

I still have 1/4 of an ice cream cake in my freezer that has gone uneaten. I realize now why I never got an ice cream cake for my December birthday.

You had ONE job!

I knew I'd gotten old when I no longer wanted icecream anymore. Just affogato with lots of liqueur.

Anyone have plans for tomorrow? We have our annual family zombie movie marathon all queued up. Planning to make some family favorite foods.

That’s hilarious!

Last month I had an in-person sleepover with two of my friends. It had been years since I'd had an honest-to-goodness planned sleepover. We went for massages and ordered dinner in, played games and hot tubbed in the rain. It was so much fun!! I think we all need downtime to relax with our friends.

It was perfect!

Tried an impossible burger tonight. Yeah, never doing that again. Give me a black bean burger any day, not whatever this was…

I usually get the veggie burger that any place offers. It is a hit-and-miss. I did not enjoy the impossible burger either.

Yeah, I think I just greatly prefer my veggies taste like veggies. The faux meat taste was super off-putting.

Same. I’m not vegetarian because I want fake meat. I’m vegetarian because ilove vegetables

 

[ToPleaseHim]

Exactly!

Does anyone have a go-to food or drink that you love to serve when you’ve got company?

Tri-tip. It cooks fast and doesn’t need babysitting while it roasts so I can socialize with the guests.

If I’m asked to bring something: cold poached salmon with dill. It travels well and always vanishes quickly.

I have a cooking question!

What’s your best old family recipe? That amazing recipe that’s written on a stained index card you keep tucked in the back of your gran’s old Joy of Cooking … .

Swedish pancakes
It is a recipe I found in my mom's stuff, supposedly from family way back

I have nothing to do with my family, but... I remember homemade scotch pancakes from when I was little. I make them occasionally.

Does anyone have a go-to food or drink that you love to serve when you’ve got company?

No, but I'm quite adventurous with my cooking and baking. If I'm going for coffee at a friend's, I might bake biscuits or a brownie to take for dinner.
