there might be a fair few months to go 'til november, but nicki minaj and i are feeling particularly grateful for a lot of things tonight, so let's don our purple wigs, jump in our hoopty hoopt hoops, and get thankful with it.
(deep breaths. are you ready?)
1) i’m thankful for the longest and most stressful house move
in all of history to be over and to be settling in to my beloved new home and new
kitchen.
2) i'm thankful for marmite. it makes the most wonderful toast, yet somehow "beef in a jar" didn't market well outside of britain. curious.
3) i’m thankful for the most excellent of parents who flew 6000
miles to work preposterously hard during this house move. they deserved massages and bon bons, but all
they got was this lousy burger meal. (please note youngest menschkin's hand creeping in at bottom of frame. dirty stealer...)
(okay, so it was uneeda burger in fremont and maybe the best
burger of my life: lamb patty, charred peppers & onions, manchego cheese,
tempura lemons, arugula, & cilantro.
bloody hell, i got hungry just typing that. but still.)
4) i’m thankful for tempura
lemons.
5) i’m thankful for the supreme court making the right
decision today. my other sweet sous chef macklemore
and i shall be celebrating tonight.
6) i'm thankful for johnny depp.
...because everyone in the world should be thankful for johnny depp.
7) i’m thankful for understanding friends who get me through
the toughest of days.
8) i’m thankful for the
ballard market, my new local shop, chockablock with mouthwatering produce, fish,
meats, and pantry goodies. truly the george clooney of grocery stores, the blard market is high class yet not
pretentious, everything about it is tasty, and it makes me tingle in all the
right places. oh baby. serious shop-crush.
9) i’m thankful for wine. cheers.
10) i’m thankful for salads
like these
11) …and views like these
12) and most of all, my sweet 4
readers, i’m thankful for you. you had
me at “log in and password.” boom.
