Morning peoples! I meant to post this Sri Lankan beef smoore recipe on Saturday, because this Dutch-influenced dish is more of a Sunday roast sort of thing, but this weekend was VERY hectic for me, and I forgot.

Eep, I left the garden sprinkler running overnight — I might be a little harried right now. Well, that bit of the garden is very very watered now. So far this morning, I’ve listened to my sister’s podcast episode, and reviewed a beef smoore video we’ll be putting up this weekend. I was trying to

I like baking these in Nordicware’s Autumn Delights cakelet pan for extra charm. (My kids don’t love the candied ginger pieces, so feel free to skip

Sunday brunch segment at WGN, our local station. Shout-out to Kavi who got up at 7 a.m. (very early for a teenager) to be my videographer, and who did TikTok dances behind the iPad to make me laugh and calm me down while I was waiting for them to start. I am not sure I’ve

A little chaotic today, trying to prep for the TV show tomorrow (I’ll be on live TV, WGN’s Sunday Brunch segment, around 7:35 or so, teaching how to make kale sambol), while also attending ReconveneSFF convention (on a Wild Cards panel in a few hours), and also get the new 100 days challenge kicked off
