    Thursday Things

    · by Amanda Gajdosik

    A bearded man with long hair wearing a tan Carhartt vest sits on the floor of what will be a garden shed. He is smiling.
    1. We (and by “we” I mean “Seth but he lets me hold the hammer”) are building a garden shed! For when it’s (finally/eventually) above 40 degrees!
    2. Seth and I ventured out of the house on Sunday (I hadn’t left our property in 16 days) to get takeout food from Horseradish. I got teary eyed when Matt left the bag outside of our car. I can’t wait to hug people again!
    3. At least I still get to hug Seth (who enjoys hugging) and Edgar (who has no free will and can’t stop me). I make it up to Edgar with homemade dog treats – you can catch a full rundown of me making him a batch on my Instagram story highlights!
    4. These Cara Cara Orange Bars (with a thyme shortbread crust!) are so springy, bright, and fresh. Even though Cara’s are out of season, I think I’m going to make a batch soon with some grapefruits I have sitting in the fridge. #fridgeforaging is where we’re at right now.
    5. Speaking of fridge finds – I made the best side dish last night to go with our Shepherd’s Pie. Sweet and spicy carrots! All I did was peel and cut fresh carrots into matchsticks, drizzle em with olive oil and honey and then sprinkle them with salt and cayenne. Roasted at 400 to crispy perfection!
    6. More podcast news! Noble Blood is my new, new favorite! It’s amazing! It’s about historical monarchies and the bloodshed and terror that are oftentimes associated with reigning over countries. I am learning so much and the production value is out.of.this.world.
    7. Can you imagine the brain space you’d save if you didn’t remember things like the name of Sabrina’s boyfriend (Harvey) or best friend (Valerie) from a show that hasn’t been on the air in nearly twenty years?
    8. How absolutely breathtaking do these Cinnamon and CARDAMOM morning buns look?!
