100% had the same experience with The Pisces, I finished Milk Fed in a day and have struggled through The Pisces. Also snagged Stanley Tucci’s book on Audible, sounds like a dream 🥰
Oh funn! Hope you like the audiobook 🍝 Also interesting we had the same experience with Milk Fed/Pisces. Thanks for sharing Kahli! Have a lovely weekend.
Happy to hear about the Scandinavian Sleep Method which my late husband and I practiced for nearly 47 years of marriage! We didn't know what it was called, of course, just that we quickly figured it out for our quite different approaches to "blanketing". I also remember someone raising their eyebrows when I mentioned it once -- as if separate blankets were brick walls, ha ha! (I'm a writer friend of your aunt Melody and she mentioned your (delightful) substack).
As a European, we always have our own blankets and find the small American bed sizes and shared duvets a quite chaotic concept, good for you to break the habit!
All Fours is definitely the weirdest book I have ever read and the last one I would have bet money on when it comes to a new show. I mean, how?!
Okay, I've been on a huge white bean kick this winter and must try this hummus, Lauren! I found a white bean chilli recipe in October and no lie, I have been making it nearly once a week. I've sent it to multiple family and friends because it's so good! I'm not a big tomato-based chilli person, so this is a delicious alternative—and even good with mushroom substituted for the ground meat: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/17023/white-chili-with-ground-turkey/
Look at your cute, fluffy boy! And that backlit photo of the butterfly is so beautiful. I love your recommendation round-ups, they always feel so thoughtful. I, too, switched to an analog alarm clock last year and it's made my sleep routine so much better. I have The Pisces on my reading list (and also adored Milk Fed but didn't love Death Valley!) so I'm still curious about it ◡̈
Aww thanks so much for saying Michelle! It’s always a joy putting them together. Curious to hear what you think of The Pisces. I always love reading your reviews. 🤍 Have a lovely weekend!
Ahhh Lauren you have the best recommendations! I'll be adding your book recommendations to my list. Also, you've officially convinced me to buy a mini bundt cake pan. It's so simple but really elevates the look of a simple cake - I'm saving that lemon olive oil recipe! And speaking of smashed beans on toast...coincidentally I've recently started making a variation of that. I made this chickpea sandwich for lunch this week and I loved it: https://www.pickuplimes.com/recipe/mashed-chickpea-dill-sandwich-134
Oh, and you've inspired me to visit our botanical garden here in Vancouver (the one at QE park)!! Hope you've had a lovely start to the year Lauren! XO
The QE park botanical garden is so lovely! You too, hope you’re enjoying some of these first glimpses of sunny days we’ve had! Wishing you a great weekend,xx
Thank you Naomi! That sandwich looks delish, I bookmarked it for next week 🥰 I’m excited for you to get a mini bundt pan - it honestly makes cake baking so easy! Maybe too easy…. lol (I’ve had more than enough this month)! 🩷🩷

Ahhh, ok so interesting to hear this perspective Martina! Haha, I know. It's going to be pretty wild as a show! 🙈
