The Baleada at La Tiendita II
Tiny store and restaurant in Lakewood. I’d never had a baleada before. It’s a Honduran tortilla (thick, soft, more flavorful), a generous smear of beans, crema, queso, eggs, and avocado +/- meat. The whole is much greater than the sum of its parts.
Peanut Butter & Jelly Overnight Oats
A tasty, easy Sunday breakfast-prep for the week (I multiplied recipe by 1.5). The homemade jelly is just sweet enough, and nicely tart with the lemon. It felt like a big upgrade from standard overnight oats that I'd made in the past and grown sick of.
My Struggle: Book 1: A Death in the Family, by Karl Ove Knausgaard
Fascinating, poignant auto-fiction on family and childhood/adolescence. Occasionally the essayistic digressions about art lose me, but I skim them and get back to the interpersonal stuff if I’m not interested. The narrator of the audiobook is one of the few I’ve found who I can pay attention to. Volume 2 of this series is also great.
Dreamfarm Mini Supoon
A perfect gift from @Laurie, this little spoon can do many things, is unexpectedly satisfying to use, and has a built in spoon rest. I value it most for scraping out the last remnants of almond or peanut butter from every crevice of a jar in a way that a tiny silicone spatula can’t.
