Make a big pasta salad with lots of meats and cheeses and veg. Eat a big bowl of it in the afternoon when it’s the hottest. This is what I survive on all summer.
1: choose your fave pasta shape and any seasonal veggies (and protein of your choice) and some good Parmesan and you’ve got yourself a perfect lunch :) My fave is orzo with peas, chickpeas, dill (lots of it), lemon and olive oil 2 : can of chickpeas, cucumbers, toms, red onion, lots of parsley, olive oil, sumac (this is a must!) and whatever else you like to bulk it - I usually go for red cabbage or kale
its soooo good. especially the section on desire. if you have three hours to spare I highly recommend. on a side note: love a good video essay. a lot are kinda half assed, but the good ones are so good and help with my atrocious attention span!
I used to cry every year on my bday but honestly in recent years I’ve grown to love it? Idk if it’s bc I’ve gotten older or feel less pressure, but even just seeing two besties on the day warms my heart and I just love my birthday! 🎈
