    Awesome in January

    Awesome in January | How to Be Awesome on $20 a Day

    January always feels so long. From the hope and celebration of New Year's day to the dreary cold work days at the end of the month seems like a million miles. But we made it friends. Here's what was awesome in January.

    We actually left the house at one point and went on a date. We tried burgers and shakes at a place that already appears to have shut down. So, I gues we got there just in time. I gave them a solid B so...


    We also went to the theatre to see 1917. It was beautiful and horrible and intense and visceral and so so good. I've enjoyed a lot of Sam Mendes's films over the years. This one was intense. My heart was racing, and I was squirming in my seat probably enraging the people around me. If Roger Deakins doesn't get a damn Oscar the world has gone mad.

    I've watched a lot of other good films this month as well. I enjoyed Rocketman more than I expected. It was remeniscent of All That Jazz but more mainstream.

    I'm a huge fan of Knives Out and think that's probably a movie I'll watch again and again.

    I can see why Jojo Rabbit might not everyone's cup of tea, but I was all in. It's definitely my pick for best production design, and Jojo's pal is the most adorable child actor I've ever seen. Can I move into Jojo's house and get Scarlett Johansson's entire wardrobe?

    I also felt myself strangely invested in Ford v Ferrari. I thought Matt Damon was great, and they somehow got me to care about car racing. This is some quality story-telling.

    We also watched Chernobyl and were stunned and horrified the whole way through. If you missed this series, go back and give it a watch.

    Somehow I also managed to finally finish a novel this month. Telegraph Avenue by Michael Chabon took me a while to get into, but it eventually hooked me, then completely mesmerized me. The language is highly stylized, and there are a lot of characters, some of whom have nicknames. There are also some non-linear points in the timeline, so you need to really be paying attention. It's worth it, though, to get an in-depth glimpse of a very specific time and place.

    In amongst all the salads and veganuary dishes, the internet did still offer up some tasty treats this month. I'm totally into this Poutine with Waffle Fries from Spoon Fork Bacon. Can you imagine the texture?

    Can you believe I've never had Tres Leches Cake. This one from A Cozy Kitchen looks beautiful.

    I would be so happy to wake up to this Cinnamon Streusel French Toast from Two Peas & Their Pod.

    Whipped Ricotta | How to be Awesome on $20 a Day

    The posts you thought were most awesome in January were Whipped Ricotta, Frito Chili Cheese Wraps, and Amaretto Sours. That's quite a span of tastes. I love them all.

    My favorite post from January was definitely Satsuma & Dark Chocolate Brioche. I'm eating that whole loaf by myself.

    I hope your January's been beautiful, friends. There's more light on the horizon. It's gonna be awesome.
