A Dose of Spring Friskiness!
The end is in sight! Picnics are here! We're vibrating with new energy this week and have lots for you - about five things to up your picnic game (spoiler alert - just order pizza), a podcast that will make your brain melt, a 2-step strawberry recipe, a foreplay game and a website that tracks cool people's holidays to cool places. Sign. Us. Up.
EAT
SR
These prawn burgers - by Lizzie Hewson of Saturday Night Pasta fame - are light and crispy and so easy enough to make on a weeknight.
SM
The cocktail gods have been listening to Sonos Prayers! Pre-batched Caperberry Martinis! For if even pouring and stirring is just tooooo much.
LISTEN
SR
Disco is it babyyyyy! Turn those picnics into dance parties! SoRo made you a playlist of her faves, and Alex Delany has you covered with his EPIC 29 hour long list.
SM
Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner is honest, moving, raw, and full of insanely delicious descriptions of Korean food.
BUY
SR
Picnics! You’ll need a nice cold beverage or two, and what better to transport it with than one of these vintage Decor wine coolers.(Or go wild and get one of these wine CASK coolers!)
SM
Get a Korean Viscose Scrub Mitt, 4 pack and those limbs silky silky smooth in time for spring.
The Fast Five
SR
Mystery of the Hole in the universe - Conversations with Richard Fidler A good episode to listen to when you need to feel awe at the sheer scale of the universe! The universe is huge! We’re so tiny and irrelevant! Honestly what a relief!
Go Ginza - Essie Nailpolish The perfect pale lilac colour for spring manis.
The strategist steal my vacation series for that tentative, hopeful, international travel planning we might be secretly doing.
Hario Cold Brew Jug for making the perfect cold brew concentrate while you sleep. So easy!
Wheel of Foreplay This is a frisky one. SoRo hasn’t tested it out yet, but if you’re feeling a little stagnant in lockdown than give this wheel a little spin.
SM
Studio Search Party Ice Dye Picnic Blankets scream JOY. Perfect for the summer of picnics we’re about to have. There’s no website you just DM their insta.
The all time picnic hack? Pizza. Westwood Pizza’s Fermented Garlic Honey, Pecorino and Black Pepper Pizza to be exact. Order ahead, take it to Camperdown Park and relaxxxx.
Vigil, Binge. It’s a British Submarine Crime Thriller! Sprawling, multi-layered and claustraphobia inducing - it’s just really good!
Strawberry chia jam is a really great way to use up the extremely cheap strawberries available right now. Chia has good fat that stops that sugar spike from the fruit. You can freeze it too in ice cube trays AND it’s good for your baby!
Lonely, Swamp Dogg A song to take us out to! We’re all a little lonely at the moment, we haven’t seen each other in THREE MONTHS, it’s terrible! But the end is in sight!
See you on a picnic rug in a park somewhere!
