Funny You Should Ask by Elissa Sussman | Book Review
ARC provided by the publisher via NetGalley Elissa Sussman's adult debut Funny You Should Ask hits shelves today. But what's funny is, I haven't heard more people talking about it in my bookish circles on Instagram and TikTok. I finished the book in 24 hours this past weekend.

Add in a gorgeously browned skin and you've got a near perfect roasted chicken. My question was, can Trader Joe's Buttermilk Brined Chicken deliver a similar result? It's only a half…

We Tried Trader Joe’s Cacio e Pepe Puffs
We finally finally got Trader Joe's Cacio e Pepe Puffs. Made with corn and rice like the Jalapeño seasoned version, I think these might actually be crunchier and less airy. They're definitely less styrofoam-like than the jalapeño. And I thought I was gonna love them. The cheese isn't too in your face, and some…
