plus some other stuff.
There are lots of things I would like to do, owning a company where I could create parties in a box and ship them off to make sure people celebrate in style is one of them. This site is rad.

Into it.
Maybe the only time ever I’ve craved potato salad, and the one I make is already pretty damn good.

There are few things that I love more than a crisp, fresh salad and a ripe piece of fruit on a hot [read: humid] summer afternoon. A refreshing combination of both of those? To me- that really can’t be beat.
[well, aside from scoring a fabulous pair of designer heels on…
Yum. Summer in a bowl.
There are exactly three countries on Earth that do not provide guarantees for paid maternity leave. Papua New Guinea and Swaziland are two of them. Care to guess the third?
Wow.

Good article that makes it seem a little scary but a lot of fun.

Bookmarked to read later. Can’t resist a little dish on one of our most fascinating public figures.
When Barack Obama met Genevieve Cook in 1983 at a Christmas party in New York’s East Village, it was the start of his most serious romance yet. But as the 22-year-old Columbia grad began to shape his future, he was also struggling with his identity: American or international? Black or white?
Drawing on conversations with both Cook and the president, and details from Cook’s private diaries, David Maraniss has the untold story of the couple’s time together.

Really into this salad right now: tuna, cannellini beans, and fennel.
For a night catching up on The Voice, I served it in lettuce wraps; we had burrata for dessert. Since I was serving it to my fancy man I used fancy Italian olive oil-packed tuna, but the regular Whole Foods stuff works for me.
One batch makes 4 servings and it gets better as it marinates. When taking it to work, I toss with chopped lettuce in the morning.
- 2 cans tuna, drained and flaked
- 2 cans cannellini beans, drained and well rinsed
- 1 medium bulb fennel, thinly sliced; finely chop the fronds and include them in the salad
- 1 half medium red onion, finely diced
- 1 handful of parsley, finely chopped
For the vinaigrette:
- juice of 1 lemon
- about 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, minced
- about 3 tbsp. of olive oil
- salt and pepper
Whisking with a fork, combine first three ingredients in a glass, then add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking all the while. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with the salad.
