This past weekend was just so perfectly FALL. I watched football, I made chili, I cozied up with a good book, and I went on the loveliest walk that took me through a great farmers market. It wasn’t a busy weekend by any means, but it was really nice. I’m looking forward to more of the same this weekend.

I fell in love with Fieldtrip’s beet hot sauce on my first visit. I remember saying that I wish they sold it. Well, It turns out they do. The sauce is made by Hot ‘n Saucy and they actually have three hot sauce varieties. I bought all three and each one is so so good. I already knew I liked the beet fresno, but I can’t get over how good they all taste. Also, the packaging is fab…that probably shouldn’t matter to me, but it does. Y’all know I love supporting local biz so I’m happy to say this is a Harlem-based company. It’s also Black-owned and female-owned. Amazing. (PS – If you happen to go back to that Fieldtrip post, you’ll notice I said the ratio of the crab pockets was off. I’m happy to report they rectified that sitch and I almost always include an order with my standard fried fish bowl.)

I’m so bummed I can’t be glamping in Europe for our annual company retreat, but they’re really trying to bring the fun to a virtual platform. My team pre-recorded our group presentation where we decided to spoof the Real Housewives, which is obviously VERY MUCH in my wheelhouse. Here’s a little sneak peek. Also, I’m kinda proud of myself for scripting, photoshopping, and partially editing this lil piece ‘o work.
