Guess what: It’s wool socks weather in Northern California, which almost never happens! As an absolute winter lover, I am so thrilled to be able to bundle (slightly) up and traipse out into the countryside with Milo, then come home, crank up the heater, put on a pot of soup, and jump directly into cozy mode.
Sometimes, though, with the decision fatigue that runs rampant in our lives, you might just need a little urging to figure out just what the best cozy activity might be. As Kayla said to me in the Autostraddle Slack, people love being told what to do!
Every answer is a great way to spend a normal, cozy Sunday — but I’ve also included a little bit of optional spice, in parenthesis, in case you need an extra challenge. So without further ado, let’s get cozying!
Your Sunday Plans: Have breakfast in bed (while doing an Autostraddle Crossword)
This is correct and very much my vibe!!
Going to the farmers market IS my every single Sunday activity!!! I make my gf go to the real grocery store though
I haven’t finished the quiz yet, but I have to say that C-list candy options are all totally correct 👆🏼
I thought smarties were at least b list this whole time… 🥲
Are you, perchance, Canadian? That would explain the confusion. Canadian Smarties are delicious; U.S. Smarties are flavored chalk.
Yes I am definitely talking about American smarties, which are not M&M adjacent but rather are chalky discs I would not even eat in an apocalypse
US smarties have a weird cooling effect that I still find intriguing. . . tho not convincing about their edible status.
Make homemade stock? I was a professional cook for ten years. I think I’ve made enough stock in my life.
haha oh nooo
Chuckling at getting the stock option. One of my housemates is sick, and I have already pinged her on the co-op’s Slack to see what soup she’d find comforting tonight.
Build a blanket fort for watching a movie (with your fall crush)! With the time difference my sunday is already set but this is ON the agenda
chuckling at “The Glassblower’s Apprentice”
Would watch!
Right?!
All of the cozy ways to warm up are my favorite!!
I’d love to make some stock! Sadly, here in Upstate NY it is 76 degrees (?!!) and I have papers to grade instead.
I got making homemade stock and my wife has indeed been asking to make soup lately….
Breakfast in bed with an Autostraddle crossword! even though it’s 2:30 pm I’m going to carry this energy through the rest of the day by only eating breakfast foods (the best kind of food)
A nice cozy breakfast and a crossword is honestly my perfect day off vibe
i am indeed a farmer’s market queer!
also darcy that list of romance titles is leaked from someone’s drafts, right? they exist? because i need to read them all
Farmer’s Market ! With a very cozy recipe for veggie pot pie !
Swoon
I got Go to the Farmers Market, and yo, that is exactly what I did. I got cute bread. I got daikon and beets and burdock and went home and pickled the heck out of them. I’m just a stereotype of myself.
ok this and my air conditioning had me FULLY CONVINCED i could go for a nice crisp walk . . . and then i walked outside to 80 degrees and humid.
i will stay in inside and stew quince.
Thank you for keeping my long distance relationship going with synchronised autostraddle quizzing! (I am going to the farmer’s market, she is building a blanket fort)
