AN ODE TO NACHOS

Nachos-Blog

On Wednesday nights, my design school friends + I like to go out after class for a round beers + nachos. With our final portfolio show in just a few days, it's been a good release after weeks and weeks ( and weeks ) of hard work. One night, on a recent outing, a hot plate of those damn good 'chos towered high with salsa, sour cream + guac were delivered to our table by an adorably nice waitress and it hit me.

My man crush Michael Pollan got it all wrong!

When he said "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants," I'm almost positive he actually meant "Mostly nachos." Or rather, should I say nachos ordered with extra jalapeños + sour cream. Because come on, I'm an American, and there are few dishes that taste better with beer, surrounded by friends + are socially-acceptable to eat with five sides of sour cream.

So this my friends, is my ode to nachos.

A TEMPORARY PAUSE

HA-Pause

There are currently 19 blog posts in my queue. Nineteen different design / art / photography / life / food / let's-talk-about-it things I've been working on and want to share with you.

...and this is where the but comes in.

BUT my last semester of school just started, this blog is having technical issues ( the worst ), and I am in the midst on a complete rebrand + overhaul of this site. So yeah...hey you...just stick with me a little bit longer because I promise—good things come to those who wait.

In the meantime, enjoy a few of my favorite links + finds from around the world wide web :

A fried egg dosa with potato curry sounds like maybe the most perfect dinner ever.

Speaking of cooking, Mark Bittman is my #1 man crush ( closely followed by Chris Messina ) + his last article on the time vs. work cooking debate was spot on.

An interesting interview with Erik Spiekermann, who's working to make letterpress printing more relevant in our ever-expanding digital age. The Germans seriously know how to do design.

My new favorite magazine.

Two roommates who bought nothing for one year. It's inspiring and encouraging for all of us who want to live more minimally ( even if not, that minimally ).

A few of my recent Insta follows : @bethmathews, @hunchfood@smallspells + @withthelocals.

And finally...SNAPCATS!

HAPPY WEEKEND!

Shine-Bright-Diamond

I don't know about you, but I am kicking off this weekend starting riiiggghhht NOW. Because all that lies between me and a big wedding weekend ( not my own, I assure you ) is one old lady appointment at the chiropractor and a shower. Glamorous, I know.

Whatever you are up to this weekend, don't forget to take this very important life lesson from Rihanna, whatever you do. I am not sure RiRi would be my #1 choice for doling out for life advice, but I happen to think she nailed it on this one. Sometimes, even a squirrel finds a nut, right?

Happy weekend friends!
