CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITHOUT THE CHOCOTE for the WIN, Tyler!! when I was younger I couldn't, and didn't like it to, eat chocolate because of migraines and I would bake the cookies without the chocolate. Love, love, love. [btw, this won't happen for you, but after menopause, I can eat chocolate [and I rarely get a migraine now] and can actually crave it … sometimes.] Still, brown butter cookies for the yum!
True Detective … watched it. Loved it. Would watch it again. Love the Billie Eilish intro.
gotta go back and go through the rest of the written links … bbs …
Will read the articles {especially the 20 truths. I may ask questions.] and looking forward to Slow Meadow. I cannot read when there are lyrics, and even more so if they are songs I want to dance to from my library. Making a playlist is brilliant … do you have any more suggestions? You mentioned you have such a playlist. I'd probably put on some Coleman Hawkins …
And a question for Lady Gregson, what do you use on your hair to encourage those lovely soft curls.? My hair is very long and mermaid wavy and I've been looking for a simple product to use that with bring out the waves more. ALSO, love Mad Hippie, Vitamins A and C. Thank you so much for the suggestion.
You guys are my favorite. Such grace and light. Thank you!
PS. Where is the brown butter [or did you mean brown sugar?] in the cookie recipe? Is it one of your tweaks? ... later this day ... these cookies are amazing. proclaimed the best choco cookie yet!!
And for the brown butter, it means to literally brown the butter on the stove first in a frying pan, then let it foam up and then wait for the nutty smell, then you're good. The recipe has it all from there!
Thank you for the responses! I'll check out the hair treatments.
About the 20 truths, I am familiar with the Tao Te Ching so I feel pretty comfortable with the nuances of the language. In fact, I just saw a translation by Ursula K. Le Guin that I want to look into.
My daughter made the cookies without browning the butter, but she's already talking about making another batch this week and knows how to brown butter, so she'll give it a try.
Now I'm late for bed and I can hardly keep my eyes open. Have a great rest of your weekend!
The walls of our rooms were our Instagram!! Kids today don’t even know!!! Magazines! From the days of Tiger Beat and fold outs of NKOTB to the ripped out pages of Spin and Rolling Stone! The progression of all that made us who we are were plastered over the wallpaper to create our very own story! I love seeing pictures of the stages of my walls and these ones here are making me nostalgic!
Having a school in the jungle with very little technology for the kids, I see the difference it makes in their development and their happiness!! I will be reading that article for sure!
I love your Spotify playlists so I will check those tunes out! I sent you a link for some music too, that I thought you would like!
Your first sentence is SO ACCURATE! Our walls were our Instagram! My sister had SO much NKOTB shit! I wish I would have photographed every different stage of my room. Dammit.
Had a friend in middle school that would give me the pictures of Alyssa Milano (from Who’s The Boss days) out of her “teeny bopper” magazines and I would put them in my locker at school…of course, my room at home were posters of cars that every teenage boy wanted…and award certificates from band and vocal music contests that I’m sure lowered my cool factor significantly…haha
Not gonna kill this page with links but check out these bands for your writing list…@Ash should listen too 😉

Ps - I’ll send you a pic from my teenage bedroom after a birthday. My adult child found this and has the original in her room because she thinks it’s hilarious!!!
Ooooh, ok I'm looking ALL These bands up. Also, that photo you sent, might be in the top 10 of best old-school images ever. It made me almost HURT I missed those times so much. Also, why were you holding such a wad of cash?!
Great one. I just have two questions, what exactly do the Netherlanders do in their road construction that is genius….. you left me hanging, 2nd…. How do you magically make he pictures pop up??? Love ya
I want to go on all 10 Ireland walks. 😍

Gayle, I just tried the plain cookie today and it was SO GOOD! WHO NEEDS CHOCOLATE?! Feel free to ask any questions you have bout the 20 truths, I'll do my best to answer them! As to your hair question for Lady G, her reply is this (whilst rolling out cinnamon roll dough): "Right out of the shower at night, I use Bumble and Bumble hairdressers primer (https://www.bumbleandbumble.com/product/19055/31247/style/pre-stylers/hairdressers-invisible-oil-heat-protectant-primer) and spray it into my hair, and then loosely coil it while damp, then I go to sleep on a waterproof pillowcase haha. In the morning, I spray lightly some Innersense Organic hair spray ( https://credobeauty.com/products/i-create-finish?variant=2088566521868¤cy=USD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Shopping_PerformanceMax_HighVolume&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-_mvBhDwARIsAA-Q0Q4u5NcsV2Xm3Ru7PzQ_h363yFoW4we0o0DhQ2tJprG0SvFn19vt3X4aAt9nEALw_wcB )and kinda of crunch it in and if there are any misbehaving curls I curl them with a curling iron with a 1 1/4" barrel." That's it!"
And for the brown butter, it means to literally brown the butter on the stove first in a frying pan, then let it foam up and then wait for the nutty smell, then you're good. The recipe has it all from there!
