Tell

Loosen Up

Over the last few years, I’ve gotten a little tense. Between working on my laptop and hunching over styling food, my shoulders and neck have gotten very stiff. Every time I get a massage, the professional tells me to regularly get massages. And then I don’t. But now I’m starting to. I went to Stile Salon today (in the middle of the day!!!!) for a massage. They put me in a cozy robe and gave me wine. I couldn’t have been happier.

Ultimately, I need to just be better about scheduling these appointments. And to start my weekends a little earlier than Friday night.

  • Twelve years ago, I was breaking up with some rando I had been dating. When I started breaking the news, @adamlehman drove by and honked. I said to the other guy, “Hey, hold on a sec,” and ran over to tell Adam that I planned to buy him pancakes on his 21st birthday later that week. I’d say I succeeded in my manipulation tactics and dating decisions because I’m celebrating with Adam on his 33rd birthday tonight.
  • Yeah, Adam and I had to try *almost* everything at the @woodvhouse pop-up. I didn’t even know I wanted gluten-free, vegan Skyline until I ate theirs. 🌿 #vegan #asseenincolumbus
  • I have a voicemail saved so I can always remember what it sounded like when he said, “Hey Allie.” Other things like the way he smelled or how he hugged is just a memory. I had no idea how the changing of seasons, summer to fall, would trigger strong feelings now that it’s been a whole year. What a year. Wish I could tell you about it, gramps. Instead, I’ll eat dessert for breakfast and boycott veggies this Sunday with @oliviajocson and @bobbyjocson_ - your favorite way to eat.
  • I don’t spend a lot of time talking about what pays our bills in the Lehman household. Adam and I started @thewonderjam in 2013 and it’s been our baby turned beast for the past five years. We’re a team of EIGHT now. What!? I’m beyond proud and sometimes tired and mostly consumed. We’re hosting a party here on Thursday the 13th and the theme is #tbt because who doesn’t like nostalgic stuff? If you’re in the area, stop by anytime after 7pm for gushers, ring pops and cocktails. I’ll hug you, maybe.
  • I’ve been cooking meat-free for the past week and it’s just really tough as you can see here. 😂 Tonight I may have mastered the most delicious gluten/grain-free thick crust in the cast iron skillet. I got a little emotional. Good pizza can do that to you. . The recipe is easy - just how I like it. Get a box of @simplemills pizza crust mix and double the water it calls for. Let it sit for a few mins. Pour the batter into a hot skillet coated with ghee (I’m sure you can use oil). My skillet tonight was smaller so I used half the batter. Cook on medium heat until you can pull back on the side and see that it’s light brown. Stick it in your oven for 5-8 minutes. Then add toppings. Then broil. I have sauce, fresh mozzarella. Then once it’s done, I add basil and drizzle olive oil!
