I'm going to make it, of course, with whatever ingredients I have right now.
Got some brisket.
I'm going to cut up my potatoes really quickly.
And then I'm going to rinse it to get the starch out. And then I'm going to pat to dry. That way it'll crisp up better.
Going to do one more egg.

We finally got weather that is 70° F. I
feel like this warm weather is giving me absolute life and it is giving the dogs absolute life as well.
Everyone's happy. I'm not wasting any time and I am going straight into editing my spring wardrobe. So, this is the base that I'm working with. It's
like an all-white look. So, top I'm wearing like a cashmere knit just to still keep me warm because it still does get cold. And then these silk pants. I
get cold. And then these silk pants. I
have gotten so much wear out of these pants. It's insane. These are my new
