Let It Be Sunday, 178!

June 30, 2018 by Joy the Baker 20 Comments


Hello dear friends!

I did one of those things where I hit publish on this blog post… well, in my sleep.  No joke. Apparently that’s a thing that happens. 

I’ve been in Dallas this weekend working really very hard on a video shoot. I’ll tell ya – a 4am call time is all fine and good until it’s 9:30 pm and you’re publishing hot blog content apparently in your sleep.  I feel like we’ve been together long enough to laugh it off though, right? 

I’ll be in Dallas for another few days touring around, eating all of the Emporium Pie and barbecue and good sushi.

Judging by the hotel pool party yesterday (my goodness!), folks are celebrating 4th of July this weekend and I hope that means you’re getting together with friends and eating potato salad in multiple varieties.  

Here’s the offering this week:  

•  Annapolis:  When a Local Tragedy Becomes National News.  (The Atlantic)

•  Are you here?  Why A Pro-Life World Has A Lot of Dead Women In It. (Harpers Bazaar)

•  Gossiping… you know, it’s bonding – like when we used to groom one another way way back in the day.  Gossiping is Good. (The Atlantic)

•  A casual four cups?  The Right Amount Of Coffee You Should Drink A Day. (Inc)

•  Good idea:  There Should Be No Internet for One Weekend Per Month. (The Cut)

•  This feels vulnerable and compelling: The Gospel According To Andre.  (YouTube)

•  No matter how you feel about Drake’s new album Scorpion, trust that the cakes will hit the oven shortly: 5 takeaways from Drake’s New Double Album. (Pitchfork) 

•  Dave Matthews does a Tiny Desk Concert and hey, he has really nice skin which, of course, isn’t the point but I feel like it’s important to note.   (NPR)

•  Have you already torn through the latest season of Queer Eye?  It’s charming as ever because these Fab 5 just have the best chemistry. Nothing Is Off The Table at Dinner With the Cast of Queer Eye.  (Vulture)

•  We’ve entered hot dog season which makes these a pretty unstoppable idea:  Chili Cheese Dogs.  (Joy the Baker)

•  Not a thing wrong with it:  Single Serving Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie. (Food52)

Enjoy your day today!

Best, 

Joy

    I love emporium pies! I also recommend wild detective or crooked tree for coffee, HG supply co and cane rosso for dinner. I live about 2 miles from the Deep Ellum location and it’s all I can do to resist! I also absolutely love the chocolate at Dude, Sweet Chocolate!

    Great articles.

    The Harper’s Bazar article made me sad because yet again us Pro-life people are misunderstood. Just as how those who identify as pro-choice often say that no one is pro-abortion, so too are most of us who are pro-life not wishers of women’s deaths or as a “control of women” thing.
    My pro-life stance does include a variety of stances, including noticing how often it is economics making this decision for women, not a woman herself. The number of women who have abortions solely for economic reasons breaks my heart, as no one’s life should be ended all over money. As people bring up, abortion rates often go down under leaders who have social support systems, taking economics out of the decision-making when a woman decides to have an abortion.As I have told a friend who is pro-choice, “you hear the words crisis pregnancy and end the pregnancy. I hear those words and work to end the crisis”.

    Anyways, I felt the need to comment just so that we can have more of us Pro-Life Feminists being seen and not painted over with the same woman-hating brush by the media.

    We just got a new pie place in East Dallas called Humble Pie which is in the same strip as the amazing Lounge Here (you feel swept back into a chic 70s lounge) & across the street from Hypnotic Donuts & Hypnotic Emporium (dang!).

    And if that’s not enough, Bad Axe Throwing just opened up so in case you don’t feel like shooting guns, you can throw axes.

    You’re not doing a book signing anywhere while you’re here are you?

Friends! Here’s the easiest, most roasty toasty Friends! Here’s the easiest, most roasty toasty Friendsgiving appetizer: Toasted Marshmallow Sweet Potato Bites and, our secret ingredient:  @bluemoonbrewingco’s Pin Pint Seasoning.  This Thanksgiving seasoning brings a hint of sweetness, citrus, and hops to the roasted sweet potatoes layered between butter crackers and toasted marshmallows.  They’re a perfect salty-sweet bite! ⁣
⁣
#ad #21+ #BlueMoonSeasonings⁣
⁣
Here’s what you’ll need to make them: ⁣
-	Sweet potatoes, peeled, sliced ½-inch thick and cut into 1 ¾-inch rounds using a sharp cookie cutter⁣
-	Olive oil⁣
-	A generous sprinkle of Blue Moon Brewing Co’s Pie Pint Seasoning⁣
-	A sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and ground coriander⁣
-	A generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt⁣
-	Round butter crackers (like Ritz)⁣
-	Large marshmallows, cut in half⁣
⁣
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.  Arrange sweet potato rounds on a parchment lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.  Toss to coat. ⁣
⁣
Sprinkle generously with Pie Pint Seasoning, pumpkin pie spice, coriander, and sea salt.  Roast until tender, flipping once through baking – about 20 minutes. ⁣
⁣
Remove from the oven and, once cool enough to handle, layer each sweet potato round on a butter cracker on an unlined baking sheet.  Top each with half a marshmallow. ⁣
⁣
Set the oven to broil and place the bites under the broiler.  Keep a very close eye on the marshmallows as they’ll burn in literal seconds.  Remove from the oven and enjoy warm or at room temperature with a Blue Moon Belgian White Wheat Ale, of course!
