just living my life and whatnot

Had a lovely (chilly) morning talking to voters in my old 14th Ward (new 5th) about Helen Petty (@helen_chopshopstyle). Southampton is ready for a smart, responsive alderwoman who answers their concerns and gets things done! Get out and vote for change on April 4th, y’all! #stlouis #stlboa (at Southampton, St. Louis) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8ICZ9O51_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This went VERY well. Strip steak, medium rare, with salt and pepper, cooked in butter and thyme in a cast iron skillet. Fingerling potatoes, lightly tossed in olive oil, salt, pepper, and creole seasoning, roasted. Fresh green beans, cooked with onions and green pepper in butter and simmered in chicken broth. #cookingathome #steak #potatoes #greenbeans #treatyourself (at St. Louis, Missouri) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn3AC54DQYH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What’s cool about adulthood is that you can just say “I’m gonna make banana bread tonight” and then you can just do it. #bananabread #baking #stlouis https://www.instagram.com/p/CnyDsVxj25l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
