The Future of Club 15

Posted on January 12, 2026January 12, 2026 by rebeccadeniston

We're back at Club 15, well, at least I'm back. This is probably the first time a lot of you have gotten to peek inside, and I hope things look all right.

It's time to look back at what I made last year for Cooking With the French Chef, and suffice it to say that 2025 was quite thr odyssey. Link in bio and Stories. #blogsofinstagram #cooking #juliachild #cookingwiththefrenchchef #2025recap It's been a while since we've had a Crapshoot Cinema post on Taking Up More Room, and today's offering is the 1996 TV film, "Return To Treasure Island." Yes, it exists. Why, I don't know. And if the guy who plays Jim Hawkins looks familiar, it's because he played Fili in Peter Jackson's "Hobbit" series. Link in bio and Stories. #blogsofinstagram #substack #returntotreasureisland Back to K-Town, and it was just as fabulous the second time. So much food, plus we got to hear the staff sing "Happy Birthday" at five different tables. #fridaynightdinner Party on, dudes. My recap of the last two episodes of Gilmore Girls is up on Taking Up More Room! Click the link in my bio and Stories to read the post. #substack #blogsofinstagram #gilmoregirls The third annual Roomie Awards have arrived on Taking Up More Room, and we have some doozies this year. Click the link in my bio and Stories to see some of the winners. #blogsofinstagram #substack #roomie Eh. This is just weird. Work starts back up tomorrow. I'm ready but I'm not ready. Another couple of days would be great, actually. 🤷‍♀️ #endofvacation My review of the last episode of "Stranger Things" is up on Taking Up More Room. Who's seen the finale and what do you think? Link in bio and Stories. #blogsofinstagram #substack #strangerthings5
