Now, onward to my summer 🏝️🌞🩴🍦 compendium of interesting things!
Summer Fruit Terrine - my fave summer recipe. Always wows a crowd. I make it with strawberries, blueberries, and grapes.
Tuscan Tuna Sandwich - an old Cooking Light recipe that we’ve made for years. We add smoked gouda to it, and it makes all the difference.
Cherry Caprese Salad - I adore this salad. Yum!
Ice cream inspired by history and my books!
Purrli 😻🐈
The comments on this thread! So many potential plots for novels within.
Definitely remember this song, although I think our version had a few different lyrics!
Parov Stelar + Venezia = Riveting
I’m looking forward to diving into this!
SO excited that the new Editors album is nearly out (my fave band)! This just released this week.
The new Squeeze album is a banger. Can’t wait to see them later this year!
