Contrary to how cheese is presented and served elsewhere, in France, most of the year people don’t futz around too much with cheese. You won’t find cheese boards with chocolates and gummy bears on them. There are no berries, no M&Ms or yogurt-covered pretzels, no cherry Twizzlers, chocolate-covered peanut butter cups, or caramel corn, all things I’ve seen on social media cheese boards. And nope, there are no butter boards either.

Hey lovelies, we’re keeping the casserole train going over here for the next couple weeks. I think one pot meals and casseroles can come across as gimmicky or lazy sometimes, but I’ll never do that to you. I aim to create easy but craveable recipes that you’ll actually use. I love fancy recipes and elaborate menus as much as the next person, but we all need ideas for dinner first. The drudgery of life only gets easier when we help each other out.

Hello everyone, and welcome to my new subscribers! It’s been over 2 months since I last posted because I’ve been on my book tour in the US for 2 weeks and then went straight into 2 months filming new seasons of Bake Off Flanders and Junior Bake Off, which was FULL-ONN! I’m glad to send you this update today, while I should be working on a new commissioned book I’m working on for a TV show….

It’s been a nice quiet weekend over here. We took our kids to the goat farm to recycle our Christmas tree yesterday morning. Yes, this is a thing you can do here in Philly. And afterwards my mom took my big kids for a sleepover. You know what that means, hot date night! And for us, a hot date night is a trip to IKEA with just one baby. Honestly we had a blast.

George and I just got home from an absolutely epic trip to Vancouver Island and Vancouver. We hiked, surfed, fished, had a spa day (OK I had two spa days), slept late (8 a.m.!!), and ate so much incredibly delicious food. Like, so, so much incredibly delicious food.

The Bamboo United Gang (竹聯幫) held a Lunar New Year celebration dinner with 85 tables for around 1,000 people at the Marriott Hotel in Taipei in March, which has led to calls for the police to take action against such gatherings. Guests at the banquet were greeted by 170 young girls dressed in cheong sam dresses as well as a parade of luxury sports cars. ncG1vNJzZmiZo56upL7IppycnZ6pwrPFjaysm6uklrCsesKopGioX5eurq7OqGSuppmpsqV5wKebZqyYmnqorc2gqmanlmLBorXWmqU%3D

So, toilet paper. The other day I was at the store and restocking on TP and trying to figure out where the best bang for my buck was. It’s very clear that toilet paper manufacturers these days are trying to steer consumers toward bigger, pricier offerings. They’re given names like “MEGA” or “JUMBO” rolls, and the packaging always prominently features some sort of mathematical conversion factor: 6 mega rolls = 24 regular rolls, or 12 jumbo rolls = 18 regular rolls or what-have-you.
