Hello, hello, it’s Friday Faves!
Every news report, Instagram post, and in-person conversation I’ve had lately has been about the heat wave we’re all in the midst of and how to deal with it. Like my friend Courtney says, this is not the time to push through, but instead to slow down and take care. Avoid the rays by getting out early in the morning to exercise or garden and then head to a movie where you can chill in the air conditioning. Then, satiate your every desire with these ribs, these beans, and this potato salad = the perfect summer on a plate.
