Ravenclaw: Don't talk to me before I've had my coffee.

Hufflepuff: You've already had two cups.

Ravenclaw: My morning coffee routine is four cups. I can't handle your cheerfulness until at least cup number three.

♡ everyday things to appreciate more ♡

sunlight shining through your window on brighter spring mornings

the cosiness and comfort of your bed on a cold night

curling up in front of the fire with a cat

walking in windy weather with your hair flying about your face

the papery whisper of a book being read

that lovely, fresh feeling you get after you wash your face in the morning

peeling vegetables for dinner and the sound of the skins falling away

checking for letters in the post-box

the pitter-patter of raindrops against the window

the gentle tickle of the comb as you brush your hair

the warmth of a cup of tea against your hands

getting a good night’s sleep and waking up to the birds

Letter from the Editor | #6 "Battle Cry"

Dearest Sweatpants & Coffee tribe, The other day as I was turning onto my street, which is in a quiet, residential neighborhood, a car traveling in the opposite direction cut the corner and almost hit me. As I swerved to avoid a collision, my body zinging with adrenaline, I let out a mighty battle cry. Except it sounded like this: “Rawr.” You always try to imagine what your battle cry might be,…

Catastrophe Kitchen | Quick & Easy Fettuccine Alfredo

In researching recipes to use, I came across some really bitter diatribes from people saying, “TRUE Alfredo FROM ROME has NO CREAM!” Or “Without nutmeg it is a DISASTER!” Or “I could never feed this FAT to my family, I use SKIM MILK instead!” The internet is a divided place, yo. You will need: 4 T butter 1 clove garlic 2 C whipping cream 1 C parmesan cheese (about 2 ounces, grated) 1 t salt 1/4 t…

Eats and Drinks | National Homemade Soup Day

Happy Homemade Soup Day! I generally don’t make soup at home unless it comes from a can. But when we moved away from Seattle, we couldn’t find a decent Vietnamese restaurant for our daughters’ favorite soup, Pho. Pho is a Vietnamese soup made with a clear, highly seasoned beef bone marrow broth and rice noodles. Restaurants will often serve it with raw steak that cooks in the broth, or cooked…

Sweatpants & History | Rosa Parks and Her Lifetime of Activism

Today, on what would have been her 104th birthday, Rosa Parks’ contribution to the Civil Rights Movement is honored—in two states: California and Missouri (Ohio and Oregon observe Rosa Parks Day on December 1, the anniversary of her arrest). Only four out of fifty states have proclaimed a day to honor the woman often dubbed “the first lady of civil rights.” Aside from being a missed opportunity…
