I’m still so high on life after seeing Chappell Roan live this weekend. The whole event was pure joy. I’m so glad she did this in KC. The whole city was poppin’ out in pink.

Higher temps are settling in so here’s a tip: make a Sunday quiche and avoid cooking during the week. Bonus: use what you have in the fridge. In this case it was leftover bacon, spinach, Gruyère and onion. Paired with a strawberry, spinach and goat cheese salad.

Today's the day! I'll be trimming that Super Bowl brisket and prepping it for the smoke. I'm going to use the Meat Church overnight method. The brisket goes overnight at around 180 degrees for 13 hours and then spritzed, wrapped, spritzed again and heat up to at least 250 for several more hours.

And I’m not leaving the house today. This has actually warmed up a bit since I first glanced at the weather.
