How is your summer season going up to now? Proper now Anton’s touring along with his dad, and I miss him a lot!

This previous weekend, Toby, Freddie, and I drove upstate to go to buddies. When Freddie got here to select us up, he made us chortle with this signal.
Right here’s the view from their porch! So cool to have a pool within the entrance yard.
Our good friend Jimmy made linguine with clam sauce (NYTimes present hyperlink) for dinner — “However I used recent shucked clams, not canned,” he instructed me, “They’ve a greater style and really feel.” — together with Alison Roman’s spicy breadcrumbs, or “savory sprinkles” as his youngsters known as them. Soooo scrumptious and lemony.
Afterward, we performed Ono 99 (a really enjoyable, rousing sport that’s simple to study), and I beloved these expressions when these two realized they have been going to lose.
Keep in mind Sharon?
We additionally went to a close-by cheese store with the funniest little indicators. This one made me chortle: “Glorious gouda of unknown windfall and undetermined age. Purchased from our Belgian cheese man, who supplied no supporting documentation and isn’t answering his emails. In all probability Dutch, perhaps Belgian.”
Lastly, my fantastic good friend simply acquired surgical procedure and requested for fast humorous podcasts whereas recovering. I remembered this outdated round-up — what would you add to the checklist?
Hope your summer season goes nicely, though after all it doesn’t need to be! As Zora Neale Hurston wrote, “There are years that ask questions and years that reply.” What have you ever been as much as? Right here for all of it, and sending love, as at all times. xoxo
