How to move during a heat wave

and other things I DO NOT recommend

Jun 15

Things you’ll need: linen clothing, a complete lack of vanity, several sweat rags, and a lot of patience.

Hello friends!

The summer heat came for us here in the Midwest and I am moving this week (Yay! and also very much Boo!). I know that I rarely break the fourth wall here, but I take my weekly promise to you all very seriously. Although you won’t get a new recipe/essay this week, I thought I’d share some of the earliest posts (all unlocked and from deep inside the quarantine zone of 2020) for my newer readers.

I do not blame you if you have ZERO interest in reliving anything from that time period. I look forward to writing for you again next week from inside my new home. In the meantime, go eat some strawberries dipped in sour cream and then brown sugar. Trust me.

xoxo

Chapter 53 There is a certain kind of American that is always in search of a culture. Sometimes they rely on being from “The South” or a “New Yorker”. It comes from generations of assimilation and a desire to be “American”. Whatever the first immigrant in your family came with (traditions, pidgins, recipes, rituals, stories, songs, skill legacies, family…

I'm sorry for you re: moving during a heatwave. I moved during a record heatwave in the South in 2007. It was BRUTAL.

And to add to the fun, I got a wicked case of poison oak on my feet, so I could only wear flip flops and the heat made the itch even worse than normal poison oak itch.
