The Best Sourdough Starter Discard Waffle Recipe I Have Ever Tried

Tecito Time - Things to know

It hurts to hear it, but they’re finding that alcohol really does shorten your life and make you age faster - possibly even by 7 years, thanks to those pesky telomeres. 2 big glasses of wine per week seem to be the anti-aging limit.

Ultra-processed food also may age you - especially things like diet sodas, sugary drinks, baked goods, hot dogs and sausages.

I went on TV this week, what?!

What is “teflon flu” and what does it have to you with the pots and pans inside your oven (don’t lie, I know you store them in there)

Here are 13 señora habits that will make your home and life better.

Here’s what beauty we tried this week:

It’s plastic-free July, and we’ve fallen for Latina led beauty band Axiology. We’re basically best friends now and so they are giving our community a free tinted DEW multi-stick ($24 value) with any purchase from their website. (partner)

OG “Gardening Latinos” Cheech and Chong wanted us to try their Cruise Chews and I am really digging it. I take one 30 minutes before I go to bed, sometimes half if I just want to feel relaxed and not sleepy. Other gummies make me feel wacky - this one is just right. (partner)

On TIkTok: What’s underconsumption core?

Also, we are having a TikTok Live on Sunday at 6:30am / 9:30am EST alongside Charlene, a new amiga from our TikTok community who does sound baths. Sign up here and join us for 30 min. Let’s hang out, I’ll show you around my garden.

Recetas & Gardens

I ripped out all of my zucchinis because they all got burned in the scorching heat wave we’re having in California.

My blueberries are still going strong. They need a LOT of water and if you see your leaves turning brown, add a little sun cover. Raspberries are not thriving as well.

Last night I peeped a rabbit inside my tomato raised bed - that must have been one high ass jump.

If there’s one thing you need to start a garden in a small space - in my humble opinion - is a vertical garden.

One thing to do before you start your garden beds to keep gophers away is to use hardware cloth or wire mesh underneath the soil.

Here are 6 herbal mocktails from Herbal Academy for you to select from this week (partner)

Bramble Berry is having all of these nice clearance sales that would make great fall projects.

I have been trying to make waffles from sourdough discard every week (ish). I can’t believe how good this recipe is. It makes professional (Dennys lol) looking waffles if you have the machine.

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
