Yummy sounding!! I have a container of risotto and have never used it. Now I will! Thank you. I do not like the "time change." But, it is what it is, and I will adapt. I applied for two different jobs, and so far, my applications are still "in progress," which means they haven't rejected me yet. (My answer to adapting to change-creating my own) Both are in education (my wheelhouse). We shall see. Thank you, Holly as always for your welcoming ways.
Holly! What an amazing March Collection, so much goodness in here. :) I love to read so will add those books to my list. I'm currently reading books about homeschooling as I have just taken that on... So these longer days I'm using to make lesson plans. :)
The quote resonated deeply with me and I'm grateful you shared it. It helped me on the days I was nervous to hit "publish." Keep telling your stories and I will be here to listen. Take good care.
Holly!! I cannot thank you enough for including me in this month's collection!! I was gobsmacked when I scrolled and there was my name staring back at me. 🤯 I am honored and deeply appreciate the support. I'm thrilled to know that you're enjoying following along on my impossible adventure.
Loved the rest of this collection, especially the update on Sam (I'm forever in awe of your intention and ability to connect with your community), the reflection on connecting with grown children (I'm not there yet, but that day will come all too soon), and the closing quote. Inspired and moved as always! ❤️
Oooh, risotto is one of my go-to meals when I don’t know what else to cook. I’ll give this one a try, but the pork belly addition makes me want to go to TJ’s first. How are you logging what you read? I use One Note, but sporadically. Thanks for another great collection.
I'm definitely trying to eat clean. Besides a small hiccup here or there, it's been a successful five weeks of doing so.
I guess my "impossible" dream is to make a living writing. It's not necessarily impossible, hence the quotation marks, but it is hard. I'm working on it, though.
Love is in the listening. So true, Holly! That’s been the gift from spending quality time with my brother and cousin.We’re back to indoor rowing and eating clean again. Still jet lagged so not 100% yet. 😀
I love longer days, but the night we spring ahead is always tough for me. I get up at 2:30 for work, and even though I KNOW my phone adjusts automatically (I use it for my alarm) I can’t help but over think it. I spend the day doing sleep math, get a bit of fitful rest, and finally say “forget it” and get up around 1. You’d think after this time I’d know better. Lol.
My failure proof dream? Retire today, and write full time. Try and figure how to marry that with a modern day (music) version of CBS’ “On the Road.”
I mainly cook for my wife and myself. We have two friends in the neighborhood who we have "supper club" with. Each week, it's one household's turn to make a meal to share: so if it's our week, I make 6+ portions. Nik gets 2, Ji gets two, and we have 2+. We
all try to cook pretty plant forward. It's a nice way to provide for loved ones and also keep myself making vaguely interesting tasty food. On weeks that we receive meals, it's lovely to have at least one meal already sorted out!
Holly, thank you so much for your kind words about my book! The series was so much fun to write, and I am especially glad to share it with a fellow Mississippian and Stacker.
So glad to have read this, Holly: "...the excitement of entering Daylight Saving Time (DST) this weekend." We don't change our clocks from GMT to BST until the 26th! I'm happy I know to check time differences for any international Zoom sessions I'm planning to participate in (I missed one by an hour back in the autumn for this exact reason!) 🤣
I was always such a fan of cooking risotto in the oven - it would just do everything itself, and I never found it any less creamy than a traditional one. (Past tense is only because I don't eat rice now.) I'm going to try the Caroline/Holly hybrid with shredded cauliflower instead of rice - my mouth's already watering. Thank you so much for the recipe!
Great recommendations throughout - I'm going to have a busy weekend of reading! I'm already enjoying Kerri's journey to Broadway - such an inspirational lady! 😊
Loved reading about Sam's soup - his smile says it all!
I'll be interested to read your future alcohol story. I have a story as well but it's probably not going to be what you think. That should intrigue you. I'll try to get it prepared for next week's newsletter.
As far as best meal, this is kind of hard. I want to say anything with Mahi-Mahi. I've had it numerous times at local seafood restaurants. It's always scrumptious. And this one place has the best green beans I've ever tasted to go with it.
Creating a Hall of Fame inside your house seems kind of odd or goofy. Ha ha ha. If it's a piece of paper, I guess it's okay. If you're going to write on the wall, I would say NO! 🤣
Best meal I’ve ever eaten was food in Paris - I can’t even remember what it was but it was the best! I remember it being really late and I didn’t even know if I was hungry any more but then there was food and it was just all incredible!
Woah this sounds seriously good! I’m going to try it this week - I love making risotto! My husband is dairy free but I love to pop a lump of cream cheese or Boursin in the middle yum!!!
