Issue 5: Your ODDLY SATISFYING Guide to Staying at Home 🍟🍦
It's time we give bacon and bananas the same love we do french fries and ice cream
Hi Friends!
Here's your week-to-weekend guide for staying at home. In this issue, we’ve curated the best of both worlds all in one juicy newsletter – from sweet and salty eats to our favorite romcoms and weekend reading centered around love to help you unwind and relax.
With Valentine's Day around the corner, we wanted to create a stay-at-home guide with all the ODDLY SATISFYING treats and experiences to do with your partner-in-crime.
Enjoy!

Here are some delicious food combinations that work!
Coffee ☕️ + Rice 🍚: If the Gilmore Girls were from Guam, this is how they would start their caffeine-toked morning. Just like how normal working-class households would.
Chocolate 🍫 + Cheese 🧀: This combo is popular in Indonesia and includes the best of both worlds – chocolate and cheese. Eat it as a crepe, a sandwich, or even sprinkle it on toast.
Watermelon 🍉 + Salt 🧂: An odd pairing popular in Japan. When you purchase watermelon, there’s usually a small pack of salt.
Furikake/rice crackers 🍘 + Popcorn 🍿: If you ever had Hawaiian Hurricane Popcorn before, then you know how delicious and easy it is to make. Here’s the recipe.
Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪 + Lemon 🍋: We discovered this concoction by accident, but hey! We love it and it’s here to stay.
Espresso ☕️ + Orange juice 🍊: According to Nam from Bling Empire New York, it's a thing in Thailand and really refreshing. (*shrug*) Should we try it?
