Miscellany
No recipe today. I have a few on deck that I think you’re really going to dig, but our work hours and travel schedule have left us light-less for any actual photo taking lately. The Happyolks posts of days past were thought up, and literally shot, on a whim. Nothing was planned, most times I’d show up at the farmers market, grab what looked pretty, and develop an idea from there. Pulling it all together now takes more finesse which is fine, I like a good challenge. New posts end up feeling like an accomplishment. A gift to ourselves, and a gift to you.
In the meantime, I’m dropping in to share a few good things that I think are worth a look or listen. Some new, many old. A random assortment of ideas and art that keep me light on my feet during the “in-between” moments of these jammin’ days. Take it easy, friends.
Katie Makkai, “Pretty.” For every woman, and her best friend, sister, or daughter.
This song and this song. All. Day. Long.
Brené Brown: The Power of Vulnerability.
Denali, one day?
Cozied up in My Berlin Kitchen and Tiny Beautiful Things.
Chaos on Bullshit Mountain.
Yes. Yum. Creamy Polenta, Cherry Tomatoes, and Shell Beans.
Favorite online reads of late: Rose and Crown, Big Bang Studio, Delightful Crumb.
Martha Beck, rule No. 5.
Paperback weddings / 3:00 minute marker, sobbing. Don’t even know these two.
Direct Orders, Anis Mogjani.
Brian @ A Thought For Food
I’ve been listening to that Mumford and Sons song on a loop for the last two weeks.

so happy to see my brother-in-law made the list, have you seen his TED talk? It is a wonderful perspective on life.
Catching up with your blog makes me happy as does getting my hands in the Texas dirt and realizing I can grow things all year long. Hip hip!

Thanks for the mention, Kelsey! I’m grateful, particularly as yours is a place I love to visit on this vast internet. And this is an excellent list — I love the variety. I just watched the poetry slam, and that right there is wonderful. Also: cannot wait to read My Berlin Kitchen.

Hi Kelsey, My best friend, Kelly, really helped me and my family through a tough time. I absolutely love your miracle broth. My husband is just getting back to eating and if I make a soup with the miracle broth he will eat. I want to thank you for sharing Katz’s book with her and now with my family. You made our hard battle a little bit easier. Carol
