Nick and I have been together for eight and a half Nick and I have been together for eight and a half years as of last week so I can't say we're terribly concerned with Valentine's Day. THAT SAID, I will take absolutely any excuse I can get to make pasta (or have Nick make pasta), munch on some crispy duck breast, and eat my cake too - so that's exactly what we did today.
.
Pasta made with @bartonspringsmill flour & @shirttailcreekfarm eggs / black pearl mushrooms from @hifimyco & sage from @pattysherbs / next time I'll find a local duck too.
.
Not shown: we made the lemon olive oil cake from @yossyarefi Snacking Cakes last night and promptly ate half of it. Nick said "this is our cake now, this is the cake we make when we have to make cake" so yeah, gonna go eat the other half now. (Also made with @bartonspringsmill flour & @shirttailcreekfarm soy-free eggs.)
.
Happy weekend with your people, love up on 'em in whatever way you can. Stay safe, stay warm, please stay the fuck home.

I didn't actually mean to disappear for two weeks, I didn't actually mean to disappear for two weeks, but if you haven't heard, I've been kinda busy with uh, starting a business! @littleboatstuff is officially hovering above ground and you should go buy all the cool stickers I'm making. (Nick also makes stuff, that's coming to the shop soon, and a few other things we're hoping to add in later this year) 💥
.
Anyway, I do eat things besides bread, but we got our bi-weekly @broetchenco sourdough delivery yesterday and I made some bangin crockpot carnitas (if I do say so myself) to go with it so Nick could make us Cuban sandwiches for dinner. With ham, swiss cheese, @grillospickles pickles, @chosenfoods mayo, and spicy brown mustard.

Very stale rye, eggs, a splash of milk, some fun herbs, then I made a scramble with the leftover egg situation and stuck it on top. add something fresh and something spicy. Voila!

Anyway this is a masterpiece and I will probably make it again tomorrow with the same loaf of stale bread and then actually remember to take a picture of my plate mkaythx.

In case you didn't hear, Austin is under a ton of In case you didn't hear, Austin is under a ton of snow and without power. Yep, Austin, Texas. We've had no power since about 2am and this is the first cell service I've had in the last five hours. It's freezing in the house and they're saying there's no known end to this blackout yet, but at least we've got books and a blanket fort (and a gas stove for lots of tea) ☕

Welcome to the bookworm part of @bekaneggs brain! Welcome to the bookworm part of @bekaneggs brain! I felt like my book posts were getting buried under delicious food things, so we branched out and I'll be sharing all book related ~content~ over here now. Starting with my top reads of 2020, which was meant to be a blog post for bekaneggs.com that I never got around to writing since I was preoccupied with starting a business (@littleboatstuff).
.
I read 23 books in 2020 and these were the crème de la crème - the pages I literally could not shut up about from some really incredible women behind those keyboards.
.
⭐ Unf*ck Your Habitat - @teamufyh (semi life-changing, from someone who generally does not "do" self help type books, I can't express how often I recommend this)
⭐ Wordslut by @amanda_montell (I read this via audiobook and highly recommend, Montell's voice + tone is just absolutely delightful for the subject matter that she is so absolutely the expert in)
⭐ A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn (this is the first book of Raybourn's Veronica Speedwell series and I read all five that were out and I loved them all, the next one is out in a few weeks!)
⭐ Code Name Hélène by @ariel.lawhon (if you haven't read this yet, fix now)
⭐ The Queen's Accomplice by @susaneliamacneal (book six in MacNeal's Maggie Hope series which I flipping love, this might've been my favorite yet)
⭐ The Enigma Game AND The Pearl Thief, both from @ewein2412 (both from the Code Name Verity series that I definitely read out of order, but wholly loved still)
.
Not shown honorable mention was The Bride Test from @hhoangwrites which really was fantastic and I should have just included in my top reads, but then it was too many because I included the entire Veronica Speedwell series and I just overthought it too much. It was great. Sorry Helen, that's on me not you.

Digital Downloads now available for you design-ori Digital Downloads now available for you design-oriented little boat friends! I was feeling nostalgic for the before times and scrolling through some of my favorite photos of past adventures which I decided to turn into fresh new Procreate color palettes.
.
I've got a dozen for sale on gumroad.com/littleboatstuff and they are now all up in the Etsy shop too. Love a digital download 💖
.
These color palettes were all created from my own photos that I've taken over time and I absolutely love them. Hope you do too!

I went ahead and stayed mad. If y'all didn't alrea I went ahead and stayed mad. If y'all didn't already know, your favorite Little Boat crew moved to Texas at the very end of 2019 - just 10 short weeks before the first corona quarantine/shutdown. We've spent the last year inside and alone, but we still deeply love our adopted new home and the events of the last week were terrifying, dangerous, deadly, and completely preventable. Our governor, lieutenant governor, and senators have failed us at every level and at every opportunity they've had to do the right thing across multiple disasters. We're just one household, but we're taking a stand. Share some snark and rage at the epic greed-driven failures of rich white Republicans and know that $0.50 from the sale of each of these stickers will go to Texas mutual aid.

Fuck Ted Cruz & Greg Abbott & John Cornyn & Dan Patrick.

This 3" x 2.76" sticker is now available for pre-order in the shop and will ship out as soon as our regular mail service is restored and I can receive these from our printer. This does not in any way disrupt our larger sticker drop slated for 05 March 2021.

So thrilled to see all of you receiving orders and So thrilled to see all of you receiving orders and loving on the first handful of stickers. What an awesome adventure we're on. This delightful gif of our packaging + Admit None sticker is from the design queen herself @the_marshmallowlab / @thebubblereport and I will love it forever.
.
If you haven't heard, most of Austin has been in a blackout since Sunday evening - us included, with no heat, in majorly below-freezing temps - so unfortunately our monthly launch will be pushed back from end of February to early March. Nevertheless, you can expect 4-6 new stickers to hit the shop with a tentative drop date of Friday, 05 March 2021. See you there 😘
