Let It Be Sunday, 4!

-About a Burrito

May 25, 2014 by Joy the Baker 87 Comments

Processed with VSCOcam with a6 preset

Let’s call it Birthday Sunday… BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT IS! (That sentence slowly evolved into an Oprah voice.  Just so you know.)

•  French girls really know how to work their scarves!  How To Tie a Scarf Like a French Girl.

•  Dear Guy Who Just Made My Burrito.  I CRIED laughing.  Cried real tears.  If you’ve ever eaten a burrito you’d understand.  (Link contains explicit language, like a lot, because burritos are serious business.)

•  I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of tiny charcoal grills on amazon.  What a bizarre rabbit hole to find yourself in.  It’s summer!  I have a little courtyard.  I want to charcoal it up perhaps with this little Lodge Charcoal Grill.  Then there’s the whole charcoal and briquette rabbit hole.   I never thought I’d be googling things like: Charcoal Briquettes and Lighter Cubes and Chimney Starters.

•  Can we talk about Oprah Chai at Starbucks!?  It’s DELICIOUS! It’s charitable, and IT’S OPRAH!  I’m going to put a candle in it today and make it a birthday chai.

•  Let’s make a summer version of Homemade Lipgloss!  I’m thinking orange and bright pink tones.  Like sherbet!

•  I’m taking my first Barre3 class in New Orleans next week.  Let’s keep our fingers crossed I don’t look like an idiot… but I will and that’s ok.

•  Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown is my favorite show on television.  His book Medium Raw is all up in my queue because my friend Tracy just bought the audio book and I have to do most things that she does.

•  I’m waaay into the new Black Keys album Turn Blue.  Summertime tunes.

•  This is Dali.  This is Warhol.  This is Pollock.  The life and work of famous artists in illustration.  It’s so good!

(Above dress by Girls From Savory because I think someone might ask, and also because their dresses are cute and comfortable and super flattering.  No, I don’t think I’m a fashion blogger. Just sayin’.)

I’m going to go eat all the beignets now!  Have a happy holiday Sunday!

I love you.  (Insert: lip emoji)

    I’m really sad to see links to Amazon here, they are a horrible company that abuse migrant workers and destroys local economies.

    Happy (belated) birthday!! Ughhhhh, Parts Unknown is so incredible. I love how he ties in so much of the culture and historical background of each place, too.

    OMG that burrito article is my favorite thing ever. I remember reading aloud to my husband in the car and I thought I was going to die from laughing so hard.

    Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential is one of my favorite books, his writing style is so honest and his past is so crazy! I have so much respect for people working in restaurants after reading that book, I could never survive it. Medium Raw is on my list!

Just tryna get the most cheese on my most simple s Just tryna get the most cheese on my most simple small-batch bagel recipe. Get in on this with me: ⁣
⁣
2 Easy No Yeast Bagels⁣
1/2 cup self-rising flour⁣
4 tablespoons greek yogurt (plus a teaspoon or two more if needed)
1 large egg, beaten for egg wash⁣
1/3 - 1/2 cup grated gouda or gruyere⁣
Everything bagel seasoning⁣
3 tablespoons baking soda with 2 cups of boiling water. ⁣
⁣
Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray the paper lightly with nonstick spray. ⁣
⁣
In a small bowl, use a firm spatula to work together the flour and yogurt. Add a few teaspoons of yogurt if it feels dry and knead into a cohesive ball for 5 minutes or so. Sprinkle with a bit more flour if it gets overly sticky. Cover with a damp paper towel and gather your toppings. ⁣
⁣
Divide dough in two and roll each piece into a roughly 8-inch rope. Bring the ends around and pinch into a circle. ⁣
⁣
Sprinkle the bottom of the prepared pan with grated cheese in two spots.  Pour boiling water over the baking soda and float each bagel in the water for 20 or so seconds.  Use a slotted spot or spatula to transfer the bagels on top of the cheese.  Brush lightly with egg. Sprinkle with more cheese and everything bagel seasoning. ⁣
