Friday Faves

Happy Friday friends!

While those on the East Coast are getting pummeled with rain, here in the West it’s so dang hot that hundred-year records are being broken every day. I’m over it, and so are my tomato plants that don’t want to sprout any new fruits in this fever dream of a summer. That’s why chilling out to a bowl of chunky gazpacho with shrimp and a side of Olympic competition is sitting just right. Let’s go USA! And let’s dig into this week’s list of Friday Faves.
