Sunday Brunch Round-up | Oct 25-31st
This week’s feast for your senses.
READ
Sweet heavens, y’all, my jaw is aching more and more often and I’ve realized that I’ve started to clench my teeth at night and throughout the day. Have you noticed the same? VICE recently published an article with advice from dentists if you too, have been clenching and grinding your teeth recently: What to Do If Pandemic Stress Has Now Come for Your Teeth.
“In some cases, you may not even be conscious of your clenched jaw. Anywhere from three to eight percent of adults grind their teeth in their sleep, making it a difficult behavior to curb. If you’re waking up with a sore jaw or headaches, or are noticing wear on the biting surface of your teeth (that is, if your teeth are looking unusually smooth or uncharacteristically chipped or your bite feels off), consult with your dentist to see what kind of night guard—a mouth guard made of plastic or acrylic meant to create a barrier between your top and bottom rows of teeth—would be best for you.”
Speaking of stress, if you’re feeling the crush of climate anxiety today, wait to read this next article from The New Yorkers. From On Climate Change, We’re Entirely Out of Margin, “[t]he U.S. government and the world have done far too little on climate change, and so now we must move far faster than is comfortable or convenient.”
“We are out of space in the atmosphere, and we are out of time on the clock. The U.S. government, and the world, have done far too little on climate change, and so now we must move far faster than is comfortable or convenient.”
WATCH/LISTEN
Pastor Steven Furtick’s sermon last week, Jump To A New Conclusion, really resonated with me. I ended up listening to it again during the week and if you, like me, are a record-setter when it comes to your ability to jump to conclusions I cannot recommend enough that you give it a listen.
“The conclusion you jump to is based on the belief you start with.”
TASTE
Gaz Oakley’s BBQ Black Bean Burger caught my eye on Instagram this week. Although I’m not a vegan, I do eat a plant-based diet and black bean burgers are one of my favorite things to make when it begins to get cold outside. Head to his website for the recipe for that burger and two others as part of his 3 vegan burger recipes blog post!
