In no particular order, here are some things that are making me smile out loud these days…
- Autumn playlists. I know it’s not autumn, but this just feels right right now.
- Fountain pens. I’m mostly a pencil guy, but I love the way a fountain pen writes, and I love the dark blue ink I got with this one.
- OK, pencils. The wood and graphite kind. Like this one. And this one.
- Real books. You know the dead tree, dead octopus kind.
- Libraries, where real books live along with other cool stuff.
- Pourover coffee. Just because life is too short to drink the bad stuff.
- Homemade peanut butter. Easy to make and better for you than the store-bought stuff. NOTE: I don’t use any oil or salt. If those moms were really choosy, they’d make their own.
- Homemade mayonnaise. Basically Alton’s recipe, but with pasture-raised eggs and avocado oil. Easy and better, just like the peanut butter.
- Applegate Farms sausage. This kind, this kind, and this kind.
Stay tuned later for some of the things I don’t particularly love right now. What’s on your list?
