So this past weekend we got to see Hamilton at the Kennedy Center! If you happen to have been living under a rock and have no idea what I’m talking about, it’s a 2h 45min musical about Alexander Hamilton and the other founding fathers culminating in the duel where Aaron Burr killed Hamilton. It’s got insanely catchy music, fusing hip hop, R&B, pop, soul, and rap, and color-casts non-white actors with deliberation. It’s a crazy piece of history, both in the telling and the making, and it’s also just good old fun. The Kennedy Center production we saw was amazing.…

I am definitely becoming the queen of convenience! Okay, not really, because this recipe isn’t exactly as simple as some of my five-ingredient recipes like bbq baby back ribs, but I’ve definitely been reaching for the recipes with a convenience factor (read: cream of potato soup, for this one). Here’s the same plug from my last recipe, spicy cream tomato sauce pasta which uses jarred tomato sauce: convenience isn’t a bad thing. In an ideal world, I’d love to make everything from scratch or nearly scratch (you probably won’t catch me boiling up some seafood to make seafood stock either way). But I’m…
