I laughed when I read this about your attitude to cooking: 'The problem is a combination of this crazy season of life and pure procrastination and laziness', because most of my procrastination takes the FORM of cooking! Whenever I don't want to do something I head to the kitchen and prepare food, sometimes for hours at a time - batches of stew, chilli or curry for the freezer, whole cakes to slice and freeze for my husband's lunches, shredded cabbage after shredded cabbage for my next batch of sauerkraut.... We eat like kings but goodness me the house is a MESS!
I love it! To be fair, I do go through periods of cooking *all* the things. But those spurts of Julia-Child-ness are few and far between. I also procrastinate on housework. And laundry. And...well, maybe this is just a character flaw. 🤣
Some would sail off in a homemade boat and cover 90 miles to find freedom. Some would cry over paying another couple of bucks for a gallon of gas and abandon the Ukrainians whose success against Putin’s Potemkin Military is sending a warning to Xi that he might want to rethink his own aggressive fantasies about Taiwan, all based on the notion that democracy is weaker form of government.
That soup looks amazing.
On a different note, I am not above sitting on the floor in Barnes and Nobel.
I’m not above it either, Matt, but my 47-year-old overweight body is. 😬
I think it’s time for people to bring in their own chairs and inconspicuously leave them there.
Fabulous idea!
This is fantastic! I mean that, I'm going to try the recipes and will let you know how I do. Also, I'm a big fan of your footnotes, too!
Let me know if you modify any ingredients. I think both of these are so easy and worth trying!
Great post, Holly!

Absolutely not a character flaw - let’s view laundry and housework procrastination as perfectly acceptable human traits!!!
I'm not sure just how many people remember Twiggy these days, but it's a reference I actually got! :)
Those recipes looked so simple that even I could make them. I just might give one or two a try.
Let me know what you think!
