Happy Friday!



What will you be up to this weekend? As for me, I couldn't be happier that February is almost over and though things are yet to fall into place, the worst has come and gone. Anyway, here are the links I love for today:
  • This week, I've been having one-too-many crepe cakes. You've got to try these, they're delicious! The baker used to be a pastry chef for NY's Dean & Deluca, so you know she knows the good stuff!
  • Dining After Downton Abbey, why English food isn't as famous as it used to be.
  • The most adorable puppy photos by Bruce Weber (for Vanity Fair)
  • The wonderful Grant Gustin, all lovely and sexy singing Glad You Came
  • John Steinbeck on Falling in Love  (My professor tweeted this link and it's such a nice letter that I kind of feel like it's meant to be shared. It also reminds me of a site I really love, http://www.lettersofnote.com/)
  • The pleasure of re-reading: How Reading Books More Than Once is good for the health. (Hah, I'm not crazy! Hooray! Auntie Jane will be pleased. And by Auntie Jane, I mean Miss Austen because I read her books more than I read the things I should be reading.)
  • Also, I finished reading Matched last night so I'm starting the second book, Crossed, this weekend. I guess this means I'm back reading YA and finally out of my romance novel reading phase which, in this last few weeks, I have come to know as the Venus flytrap of reading addictions. (It is interesting to note that the idea for these reading selections came from one person, we shall call her Mary.)
  • A recipe for Ginger Scallion Sauce from Lottie + Doof. Finalement! I've been looking for this everywhere.
  • Last weekend, in a snapshot (Filed in: Sometimes, I'm really happy I have work and that I have people beyond my level who I can talk to--it's fun because they have more to share!):
