It’s currently 6am and I’m sitting with Jackson in my lap, in the dark of our living room, excited to finally see some clouds in the sky. It has been so incredibly smoky here in Colorado because of fires in different states and we honestly haven’t seen the skies in probably weeks at this point. Seeing a cloud is pretty exciting. Now we will just have to see if that sticks around for more than just a morning. I’ve been wanting to sit on the patio for longer than 20 minutes lately, but that just isn’t an option. Everyone is wearing masks again in stores because of the Covid variant coming our way, but I may be wearing a mask soon just to keep my lungs a little safe from this smoke.
Won’t it be cool one day when we can just throw all masks out completely? I yearn for that day.
But enough about covid and the weather. Are there any worse conversation topics? Let’s talk about Outer Banks. If you haven’t watched this show on Netflix now, you’re super luck since now you have two seasons to watch. And this show is gooooood. It’s young, hot actors who are actually extremely good actors, just being best friends on and off the show, and making magical and extremely dramatic TV. None of the situations that play out would ever happen, but somehow you completely believe it. And the actors are so good looking that you really don’t care what happens, you’re just happy to be part of their acting journey. And then you begin to fall down the rabbit hole of following all of them on social media since the main two love interests on the show are actually dating in real life, too, and you want to know everything about them. No? That’s just me. Coolcoolcooooool.
Oooo guess what I’m doing? Going to a concert on a Wednesday night. Is that the best night of the week to stay up until 1am? Hard no. But I’ve been booking almost any concert that comes up, no matter the day or time, so here we are. And I have some friends coming into town for it then some other friends coming over beforehand so we can all head up in a party bus together. It’s going to be a super random group of people who don’t know each other, but music brings everyone together, right? Along with charcuterie boards. I’m hoping the skies aren’t too smoky so we can open up all the doors to our patio and hang out outside. Did I just talk about the weather again? I’m the worst. And old. But I can’t be that old because this bish is staying up til 1am on a Wednesday….NBD!!

These look amazing. Will fresh peaches work?
absolutely!! I would just recommend peeling them for a better texture in the bars
