Let It Be Sunday, 160!

February 25, 2018 by Joy the Baker 39 Comments

Hello dearhearts,  

It’s been a wallop of a week for me between exciting work projects, trying relationships, and deeply sad family loss.   I’m hoping that this Sunday offers a settling of heart, mind and body for me and… while I’m making wishes for myself, I have the same hopes for you.  Essentially, I hope we all can just sit down and close our eyes for a spell.  

Putting this post together is one of my favorite tasks in a week.  I hope you enjoy this offering.  I’ve heard some of your requests and added source mentions after each link so you know where you’re headed before you get there.

Have a lovely day – thank you for being here, ok?  

•  The youth aren’t having it with your ‘thoughts and prayers’, Senators.  You hear them?  Teenagers Demand ‘Never Again’ in an Age of Mass Shootings. (The Atlantic)

•  So Hey, How Worried Should I Be About The Flu?  (The Cut)  Like… worried enough to wipe down every surface around my airplane seat and give major side-eye to anyone who has the audacity to cough in my general vicinity?  Ok.  Because that’s where I’m at. 

•  This saga: Worst Roommate Ever  (New York Magazine) 

•  Pinterest worthy catch phrases really rub me the wrong way these days – unless they refer to me doing things like Beyonce.  This little gem from McSweeney’s really hits the spot:  An Open Letter To The Phrase “Positive Vibes Only”.  

•  Our girl Karen Kilgariff of our podcast My Favorite Murder has profound thoughts about self acceptance and ranch dressing. (AVClub)

•  I Am A Masterchef Survivor. Y’all, reality television is ruff – don’t do it. 

•  My friend Nicole and I were discussing our desire for luxury living and we’ve decided that we need to save up for stonewashed linen bedding.  Dreams, ok? (Food52)

•  There are more Bakehouse workshops coming up!  Check out the schedule!  March is sold out but there are still spots in workshops this April and May! (Eventbrite)

•  A Cozy Kitchen made this Cacio e Pepe Mac and Cheese that we all suddenly can’t live without. 

•  These little dreams are one of my favorite thing to make (and eat):  Simple Jam Hand Pies. 

•  I realize that I might be among the few people who love… cabbage.  Probably. Nevertheless, 5 Tips For Cooking Cabbage From Recipe Around The World.  (The Kitchn)

•  Listen up, I love a sneaker. These are special. 

•  Mad respect for the Single Lady Pancake! The version pictured above has lemon zest and poppy seeds and thawed blueberries on top and all-in-all it was a very good idea.

    I always wipe the airplane seat and seatbelt and arm rest and tray table. I get looks from passengers and praise from flight attendants every single time.

    My kid got a cold (not the flu) and I seriously considered wearing a face mask to avoid getting sick. In the end, I escaped the germs anyway.
    That roommate story was chilling.

    Thanks for a couple of things here close to my heart. I spent Feb 5-10 in the hospital with flu and double pneumonia. And this past Wednesday we laid my brother to rest. Sorry for your loss as well.

    (I know you’ll understand that I posted my email address in the comments section because I was still in bed, reading your post and was too lazy to put on my glasses!). I’ve been thinking about you, and I hope this Sunday finds you with a deep, settled peace that comes straight from the gut. Thank you for offering so many good things to explore. I’m going to get out of bed and hunt down my reading glasses now. :). xx

    Joy, your Instagram stories this week inspired me to make the Single Lady Pancake for breakfast this Saturday. I made it with some leftover Greek yoghurt, and slathered it with copious amounts of my best friend’s homemade lemon curd and raw sugar. It was delicious. Thank you!

    Oh, your last week definitely was tough. Thanks for the cabbage recipes, this vegetable deserves absolutely more appreciation.
