Digging our brand new streetcars that just opened their doors last week in KC. There’s a stop right outside my building, and the energy with everyone milling around outside all day long has been so fun.
Making this salad multiple times a week lately. 5 ingredients, 5 minutes to prep, and it always feels like such a fresh treat.
Trying to decide what show to begin next after watching the series finales (back-to-back on the same night, no less ?) of The Good Wife and Downton Abbey last week. Any good suggestions?
Loving this beautiful necklace (affiliate link) that a dear friend gave me last month from Madewell. (And good news if you like it too — it’s on sale now!)
Thinking a lot about this article over the past few weeks. Probably the most fascinating editorial I’ve read so far about the rise of Trump. (It’s a long read, but totally worth it.)
Ordering delivery from some of my favorite restaurants thanks to this service. So easy and convenient!!! (If you have it in your city, feel free to use the code “fprts” for a $10 delivery credit!)
Catching up on every back-episode of this political podcast. Ezra asks the best questions, and I love the conversational vibe of the longer-form interviews. Also, this may be the most inspiring interview of a politician I’ve ever heard. (So refreshing!)
Jumping onto the “golden milk” (turmeric tea) bandwagon, and feeling oh-so-trendy (even if I’m a few years late to the craze). Have you tried it?
Working on creating a mega guide of recommendations for where to eat in Kansas City. Any of you locals, feel free to chime in with your favorite suggestions!
Getting so excited about my upcoming trip to Austin to attend the 10-year-reunion of Friday Night Lights. With the cast! At a pep rally! On a football field! On Friday night! CAN’T LOSE. ♥ (And bonus? Just found out that there’s also going to be a West Wing panel with Aaron Sorkin and some of the cast that weekend too. Just gets better and better!)
I was looking forward to your KC guide coming out soon since I’m going next week! Luckily it looks like there are awesome suggestions in the comments here!
LOVE the idea of a KC dining guide. My current faves are Taco Republic (best patio!), Cafe Trio (a seriously delish happy hour menu.. and again, an amazing patio), iPho Tower, Black Dog Coffee + Ibis Bakery, BB’s Lawnside BBQ, and Baked in Westport.
So many delicious (and underrated) spots in KC. Can’t wait to see what you pick.
Thanks for sharing your faves with us Emily — they all sound awesome! :D
No one has mentioned Avenues Bistro yet (that I saw) so I’ll add it to the KC list! I especially love when you can get a 50% off Tastable coupon. With a tastable, the bill for the entire table is half price, including drinks! If you get one for brunch, it makes the $10 bottomless mimosa a $5 bottomless mimosa, which is hard to pass up :)
Sounds awesome Kelli — we appreciate the rec!
Can’t wait to see your guide to eating out in KC. We are always looking for new places. The hubby and I along with some friends recently completed the ABC Dinner club which consisted of eating our way through the alphabet in Kansas City. You can find the details here…..https://ruminationsandreckonings.com/abc-dinner-club/
Very cool Theresa — thanks for sharing with us! :)
Thanks for the Trump article share. Just read it and am still absorbing it. A long but worthwhile read, indeed.
As for KC food eats, Pot Pie, Pot Pie, Pot Pie! I also love the patio at Café des Amis on a lovely day. Can’t wait to see your compilation. It’s hard to narrow down the great options in KC – so many great options! Have fun in Austin! Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose . . .
You need to check out Mr. Selfridge for your next series. The series just ended. I absolutely loved it! Great characters, costumes, history and it is a true story.
Fellow Kansas Citizen here! Regarding new TV show suggestions, have you tried Newsroom? Just started watching. We are hooked! Intelligent writing and fantastic acting. Thanks for the easy salad!
Anna’s Oven in KC has the best homemade lasagna. I also love YJ’s , Lulu’s and my favorite BBQ place is BB’s Lawnside. Go Chicken Go is great for fried chicken.
