definitely yes to the outfit repeating and using cookbooks more often!!!

i see having a uniform as my version of a cartoon character outfit haha. i find i dress for comfort even if that means physically comfortable or my style (it has taken me a few years to get to this point!)

i hope to improve as a cook/baker in my own home so im excited to try and take my own notes based on adjustments i make

nodded through many of these. espresso martinis baffled me after awhile. i'd watch straight guys send them like shots before dates. relax???? this generation clearly didn't live through the original 4 loko recipe and it shows.

also, your mention of borders moved me. <3

Honestly bring back 4 Loko — the cocaine of drinks

It is truly a blessing that all of the photographic proof of my 4 Loko era died in someone's abandoned Photobucket account.

first time i ever had a 4 loko was on a monday night at nyu. knocked on my best friend's apartment door and said, "my boyfriend cheated on me. want to drink a 4 loko?" we marched right over to a bodega. i got watermelon.

my heart was racing the entire next morning at work. the complete experience!!!

I'm also fond of a followup gift after someone has had me over for dinner. Usually some flowers and a note.

Hard to get reservations need to go to hell. Plus people are charging for some of those reservations online. Weird behavior!

Laughed out loud at: “I’m dating my book! Okay, that was an annoying Carrie thing to say.”

fully onboard with more NYC day trips, because nothing beats playing tourist in another neighborhood.

and if you’re looking to try something new this month I haven’t had a bad experience yet with Off-Hours gummies. Super delicious and easy to dose—Watermelon Lemonade is my fave.

I'll give them a try!

I love all of these, best list ever produced. The thoroughness! The nuance! The explanations! The full spectrum!

Alsooooo, consider a stopover in SF? I know we’re grade A dorks in this godforsaken city, but we love you and we love reading. Take our tech money!
