    Thursday Things

    · by Amanda Gajdosik

    a pot of rhubarb compote sit on a stove. A red spatula is in the pot.
    1. I’m over the moon that it’s rhubarb season! I picked some early stalks and made a quick compote with a bit of sugar and lemon juice. It’s so tangy, zippy, and good!
    2. I made petit fours this weekend for the first time in like three years and I’ve learned a few things for next time. Mainly, that I’m going to cut them into rounds because the squares are dang near impossible to coat! I also put the above mentioned rhubarb compote in the layers and it was divine! Here's to really celebrating rhubarb season.
    3. A client recently gifted me with a sweet vintage butter stamp and I’m just in love. How cute, how dainty, how totally unnecessary. But who doesn’t want printed butter?
    4. Seth and I watched Money Pit after two separate podcasts I listen to mentioned it in the same week and I gotta say – I really liked it! Vintage T. Hanks and Shelley Long. It was cooky and funny and outlandish and just plain good!
    5. My nieces turned three yesterday. I love them so much. They’re perfect.
    6. Seth and I sipped on jalapeño, cucumber, and cilantro margs while eating chopped chicken fajita salads for Cinco de Mayo. They’re totally going to be added into our summer cocktail rotation.
    7. Speaking of cocktails – Charlie Berens making the supper club classics was so funny. Support your local dairy industry plz.
