The Little Issues E-newsletter #482 – Life, ...

Welcome to the weekend, my pals! I’m wanting ahead to lunch with pals, after which a really relaxed film evening with my household. We’re lastly going to look at the live-action How to Train Your Dragon, and I couldn’t be extra enthusiastic about it. That TV present is nostalgic for our children, and I’ll admit that I can’t wait to see Gerard Butler sort out the function of Stoick the Huge. It’s going to be a enjoyable evening.

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Candy peaches, tart and tangy blackberries, recent mint, basil, and parsley are tossed along with a tangy-sweet French dressing over creamy burrata to create the summer salad that I can’t stop eating.

Simply in case you haven’t observed, I’ve turn out to be a wee bit obsessive about my air fryer over the previous couple of years, and because it seems, the air fryer creates cheesy French bread pizzas with a chewy, crispy crust. It’s do-it-yourself pizza that’s quick sufficient for a lunch or dinner.

This creamy corn with jalapeno has turn out to be certainly one of my favourite corn facet dishes. The candy pop of recent corn is tucked in a wealthy, creamy cheese sauce with jalapenos and pairs fantastically with absolutely anything, from these grilled steak kabobs to roasted chicken to juicy, crisp kielbasa bites and so much more.

After I completed making the sixth or eighth or perhaps it was the tenth batch of peach jam, I made a decision to make use of the final of my peaches to make a easy peach syrup. I had visions of a peach whiskey smash or perhaps a fresh peach martini in thoughts. And after getting a batch of peach syrup available, you’re going to wish to drizzle it into all types of deliciousness.

You’ll wish to save sufficient of the syrup to combine up a pitcher of this peach iced tea too. There’s one thing additional particular a couple of glass of iced tea when it’s heat outdoors. I’ll fortunately drink tea year-round, however within the summertime, a chilly glass in my hand encourages me to go for the entrance porch and benefit from the second.

To wrap up this 12 months’s peach enjoyable, I made this peach sorbet. It’s brilliant, flavorful, and bursting with juicy sweetness. Made with simply peaches, lemon juice, sugar, and a pinch of salt, peach sorbet is proof that the best recipes are sometimes the very best.

What I’m CRAVING: I simply made this Asian salmon salad final week (for the third? 4th? time previously couple of months) and now I’m craving it once more. It’s simply so dang excellent. Now I’m pondering I ought to combine it up with one thing like this Asian shrimp salad. That one appears to be like nice, too.

My FAVORITE THINGS this week are my wireless earbuds. I’ve shared my love for these very cheap earbuds earlier than. (The model new model is at present on sale for $27 – I anticipated complete rubbish the primary time I purchased a pair, and so they wound up being the very best discover ever. I’ve had mine for years now.) I simply purchased a brand new pair as a result of mine have been lastly carrying out. The brand new ones are alleged to be waterproof (although I’m unlikely to ever take a look at that function on objective), and the sound is even higher than the unique. 

What I’m READING: I’m in the midst of three totally different books, so hopefully I’ll have a completed overview for you subsequent week!

What I’m LISTENING to: Look Up Child by Lauren Daigle. That is my favourite of her albums. Her voice is unbelievable, and I’ve mistaken her for Adele a time or two – in order for you a reference for her sound.
