Collecting a stack of printed takeout menus from local restaurants is equivalent to finding community in your town/city. I love to get off my phone and flip through a printed menu when deciding what to order for dinner, appreciating the graphic design choices and the hometown staples on each menu.
And they are only wasteful if you waste them! What great material for emergency note-taking, for adorning your fridge, for COLLAGING! Oh my goodness what great and meaningful content organically exists in a printed takeout menu from your favorite local spot.

Whenever my friends and I hang out at a restaurant or store, I make sure to pick up the little neglected business cards at the cashier or take the post card attached to the restaurant check.
I take them home and tape them to a page in my journal as a memory of the day. My roommate and I have started collecting the restaurant post cards and hang them on the fridge because we love to go out to eat.

one of my top activities - all should have a collection of lost images, grocery lists, tiny toys, the list only continues
(p.s. scanning them is also fun ;)

I've been in the habit of recreating print designs, or just creating my own, and printing them at any print shop I can find (local places, CVS, etc...) It unlocks a bit of your brain when you realize you can just design something and have it blown up on your wall for relatively cheap.

In pre-21st century movies and media, we always see couples that go to bed, independently read their books, and once sleepy, clap off the lights and peacefully retire to sleep. Maybe there’s a reason this trope is so common! Maybe couples who read together, sleep together!!
Reading before bed regulates my brain and body in ways I did not know were possible. Screens are bad for you, specifically and especially before bedtime… who knew! And with a good nights sleep I have so much energy to do things, including but not limited to more reading.

I fear one of the top reasons I get out of bed for my perhaps boring, often drab desk job is to wear outfits that are neither boring or drab! Do my coworkers entirely understand why I wear my layers? Not necessarily, but they’re learning!
Today I wanted to feature my “Gemini” pin to celebrate the season and my upcoming birthday in eight days!

Help, I think I’ve peaked with this one!
In defense of meatballs (not that they are under particular scrutiny at the moment): you throw everything into a bowl, shape them into balls, and then throw them into the oven until they are done. How customizable indeed!!
* Want chicken instead of beef? No problem! * How about some scallion, ginger, and sesame oil? Absolutely! * In need of the Maillard reaction? Opt for the stove instead of the oven!
Here I served them with a Thai red coconut curry sauce (perfection) and rice. Gorgeous! (recipe inspired by gillehouston on insta thank you)
