How can I absolutely ensure that I die this way?

Strategies for dealing with 80-degree weather inside your project-heated apartment:
1. Just get really Ellie May Clampett with it.
Me by Derek at his family’s cottage. It was closed up for the season so we crept around, peeking in windows, taking pictures on the beach and dreaming of future summers. Those were some of the most middle class sentences I have ever said and this is the most middle class I have ever looked.

I am still not sold on these being the best bagels in NYC. Steve begs to differ.
I’m with you on that. It was satisfyingly dense with a nice chewy crust, but also weirdly sweet, and so gigantic I had to save half for later (and you’ve seen me put away 3 Dough donuts, you know I can eat). Plus their cream cheese was that crummy whipped kind and they used way too much of it. Don’t get me wrong (AKA don’t evict me Steve), it was still REALLY GOOD, because so far even the worst New York bagel makes me feel like a total clown for having frequently eaten the ones at Dunkin Donuts in the past, and also for saying stupid things like “What’s the big deal? It’s just a bagel.”
I still love the tastefully compact, yeasty flavor puck of a Russ and Daughters bagel the best, BUT I just found out that R&D don’t even make their own bagels, they use an unspecified “Brooklyn supplier”. Fuck that! I can’t believe I’ve been making 2 subway transfers and waiting in line behind yuppies buying $50 worth of sable because they heard Anthony Bourdain crowing about it, all for a stale bagel with eau de East River all over it. We must go to the source. We must find this unspecified Brooklyn supplier.
OMG I love to read BOOKS!!!!

My first Ess-a-bagel! Delicious but not the greatest choice for second breakfast, these things are the size of a goddamn hemorrhoid pillow. (Taken with instagram)
Simmer half an onion (no need to chop) and 5 tablespoons butter in can of whole tomatoes for 45 mins. They tell you to discard the onion after cooking, but it’s really good topped with salt and pepper. (Taken with instagram)
Old lady sandwiches and old dudes propping up the bar, I accidentally gave the camera like 6 of my genuine gummy smiles, rarely have I felt so happy. Never enough thyme, as they say.
