Black lives matter. 🖤 Be anti-racist. Contribute where you can—time, effort, money. Listen and learn. Actively raise your children to be on the right side of history. Use your privilege to help and protect those with less. 🖤 Stay safe & wear your mask. It’s a tough time out here.

Beignets! More like Beign-yays! 🎉🎉🎉 @hautesweetspatisserie took advance orders all week and did drive up pickup this morning. It went perfectly, even though it took me a minute to feel like I still remember how to drive. 😂🤗

I must’ve said something shocking to my sister at coffee the other night. 😂🤗 Animal Crossing released a new game at the most perfect time in all of human history. The daily dose of cuteness and ability to build a lovely little hometown is such a nice break from everything else. 💖💖💖

I made my first Chocolate Babka! 🥰🥰🥰 All that work getting comfortable working with dough (pie, biscuit, and breads) really paid off! This one gave me zero trouble on my first attempt and is so, so delicious. The recipe made two loaves and we considered freezing one for about three seconds, until we realized we’d rather just eat it all right now. 💖 Recipe from @thepioneerwoman.

I took a break from schoolwork this afternoon to FaceTime with my BFF while she made her first batch of homemade cupcakes and I cleaned my kitchen. (Before & after in my stories right now and saved to my kitchen highlight if you want to peek.) I baked two loaves of chocolate babka yesterday so I couldn’t justify baking anything else quite yet. 💖 Pictured here: the basket of cloth napkins we keep on the counter. 🥰

Feeling better means I could jump on the Dalgona Coffee bandwagon. I’ve made it during afternoon classes twice this week. 🥰 Combine 2T instant coffee, 2T sugar, and 2T hot water. Whisk for like 20 minutes (or beat with mixer for about 5) until it turns fluffy. Spoon over a cup with ice & milk in it. Stir to drink. (Progress photos & the coffee I used in my food highlight if you’re curious.) It’s delicious! 💖💖💖

Me, a month+ into quarantine. 🤗 Day 29 (since I got sick)! I’m officially better! 🎉 I still need to go a bit easy on my lungs to get them back to normal before I can full-on exercise, but I feel so, so, so much better and I’m so relieved. I need an “I survived Covid-19” t-shirt because this was A LOT. I hope you don’t catch it. 🎨: Theodore Lebrun via @metmuseum
