We are full into spring here in Seattle. The cherry blossoms have bloomed, the tulips are out, and daffodils are everywhere. My birthday was in March and I had a great day hanging out with my friend, going to Barnes and Noble, and getting my free birthday Starbucks.
Here is my monthly wrap-up of some of the things I was up to in March.
What I'm eating:
I have been obsessed with breakfast burritos for the past couple of months. The cafe in my office building put breakfast burritos on the menu and they have become my new favorite breakfast. I used to get scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese on an English muffin but now I get the same filling in a flour tortilla. There's just something about a flour tortilla that makes everything taste so good. Last month I bought all the ingredients to make burritos from home and I am slowly perfecting my new breakfasts. I also like to add potatoes or hash browns and I'm working out the best way to add those into my burritos.
What I'm watching:
I've been watching this show on Amazon Prime called A Stitch in Time. It's a show produced by BBC starring fashion historian Amber Butchart as she explores the lives of historical figures by examining the clothes they wore. I heard Amber on a podcast I listen to and she sounded super interesting so I checked out the show. Each episode focuses on one garment and goes into detail about how the garment was created. We also learn about the history and what type of person would wear/did wear the garment. It is super fascinating. There's only one season and it was filmed in 2018 so I highly doubt there will be another season but there are six episodes to catch your eye. My favorite episode was probably the last one, about Marie Antoinette.
What I'm loving:
Last month I talked about playing the Connections game on the New York Times website. Well, they have a new puzzle game and I am hooked. It's called Strands and it's kind of like a word search game. It's in beta right now so I think the rules are not firm but you basically get a clue and then you have to find the words in the grid that relate to the clue. I find it pretty challenging, especially because you are not given the words you have to find - you have to find them yourself. But I like it a lot. I love puzzle games and games that make you think.
See you next month!
