tl;dr — my non-legit self got a part with the opera. There is the cover photo, so if that is enough for you, here is the ticket link. If you’re bored or my mother — and even you know the basics, Ma, so feel free to skim — pull up a chair. As… I thought…

🍴: Mon – Accidental Meatless Monday feat. mushroom tacos with refried beans, queso, corn, avocado, and pickled radish — possibly Hampton’s favorite veg tacos ever. Also, we took the new TJ’s frozen plantains for a spin in the air fryer. Hampton tried them at work and said they were a bit sweet, so we added…

🍴: Mon – coq au vin blanc meatballs with mash and cider-braised carrots Tue – broth and Jello for me, Domino’s for Hampton Wed – Hampton-created orecchiette with bacon and sliced Brussels sprouts in a light cream sauce with leftover Domino’s garlic bites. Thur – Swedish pizza salad with TJ’s garlic gondolas topped with prosciutto,…

A few months ago, my coolest and most randomly talented friend, Heather (seriously, she does everything and is good at all of it), asked me to be a guest on a new podcast she is cohosting about conversations over music. I said no. I am not that interesting. And it felt hypocritical since I can…

Well, it has been over two months since one of the best shows of my life opened. It feels like yesterday but also like a million years ago already. And it’s gratitude day and I have some books I need to write about so I guess it’s finally time to wordvomit these feels. As mentioned,…

Me: I really want to only do, like, three shows a year. And none back to back. The universe, for the second time this year: WHAT’S THAT YOU SAY? THREE SHOWS BACK TO BACK? OK! Back in July, Piedmont Opera sent out their regular newsletter mentioning a one-off concert of Broadway music written by women.…

I started off this year with one show for sure in mind: the revival of last year’s HEDWIG & THE ANGRY INCH. And I was Very Excited about Hampton doing one of his dream roles in OTHELLO at the same theatre the month before because it meant I got lots of wintery, hibernatery alone time.…

As previously mentioned, I did back-to-back shows again this fall. And they were two of the most wonderful shows, I have ever done. All three shows of 2023 (three! Remember the days of thirteen a year?? …ah, youth. And by “youth”, I mean, like 2016) were just fantastic experiences, full of giving, warm people, gorgeous…

So, yeah, this summer… that was a thing. Hampton and I both ended the spring with some killer shows and then it was all, well, life as usual. Snuggly puppies, tv, and lots of other people’s recipes. I may be in the midst of books 99 and 100 of the year, but there have been…

Hampton and I are both back into rehearsals* so weekends are for bigger meals, and tonight may have been our best schnitzel yet. We toasted and ground up leftover soft pretzel from Strudelteig’s last visit to Lesser Known, the fantastic Eastern European-inspired brewery a mile and change from our house, for the crust on this…
