erica’s things

Fig-uring out how to amp up some garlic-roasted potatoes. (Pssst: I used fresh fruit instead of dried, just tossing it in during the last 10 minutes of cooking.)
Getting way into scalp care. Eyeroll, I know, but this Christophe Robin scrub is where it’s at.
Becoming more civically engaged...via text. Votum tells you what Congress is voting on, asks what you think, and gets word back to your reps. So smart!
Adopting a chicken named Widdle from Farm Sanctuary. Now I just need to plan a trip to go visit him…
Listening raptly to fellow member of the women who don’t want kids posse Terry Gross share her thoughts ‘n feelings on the subject.

Questioning why I don’t reach out to Zappos customer service more often.

Staying in-the-know about what’s hip in hip hop via the Rap Caviar playlist.
Licking the bowl of this silly-simple black bean soup from Gwyneth’s new cookbook—and adding it to my arsenal of make-ahead-for-office-lunches tricks.
