Today I’m sharing what I’ve been into this month. My reading slump in fiction kind of continues, but everything else was great!
Watch:
We watched a new Agatha Christie adaptation of the novel The Crooked House on Amazon Prime. I must admit at first it was a bit of a snooze, maybe the first twenty minutes or so. I might have been tempted to give up, if it wasn’t that I knew Agatha Christie would deliver. And she sure did! The end was quite a shock as you figure out what’s about to happen!
Listen:
Ever since we saw The Greatest Showman we’ve been listening to the soundtrack. We all love it. It’s so cute to listen to Ava sing, “every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors fill my head . . . “
Read:
Since my last post I’ve read Rules of Civility by Amor Towles and The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan. Both were “meh” to me. The writing was great by Towles and the concept of the story was interesting by Hogan but I just couldn’t love the characters or get caught up in the story.

I’m sure a lot of research goes into these books but it never feels that way.

I used ground beef instead of lamb and couscous and got my Green Goddess Dressing from Trader Joe’s. Also, strangely enough while getting oral laser surgery done the doctor’s office had the Pioneer Woman’s show on and she made these Cherry Pie Cookie Bars while my mouth was open and numb. They also made my mouth water and immediately went home and bookmarked the recipe and later made it. It was such a easy but delicious recipe that can easily feed a crowd. The orange zest really makes it!
Also, while at Trader Joe’s I picked up a bar of their Cold Brew Coffee Chocolate Bar. Oh my, is it ever good! I’ve also been paging through Joanna Gaines’ new cookbook Magnolia Table. So far we’ve only made her overnight French Toast but it was hands down the best overnight french toast I’ve made. Nice and crunchy on top. Delicious and fed us for two mornings. With my crowd, that’s
