Following up on last week’s links…

  • The Pangolin gets a bailout by viewers like you.
  • Homemade spicy black bean burgers were a smash hit! This week I’m about $5 richer and a wee bit healthier! I used this recipe but added a few chipotle peppers – also, we eat ours taco-style with avocado, cheese and hot sauce.

Moving on to this week’s doings…

  • Today’s Google Doodle marks Percy Julian’s 115th birthday. The doodle is AWESOME, plus, my Junior High in Oak Park, IL was named after him. In his honor, I’m going to watch this over the weekend and reminisce about awkward theater performances, Stone Temple Pilots and being grounded for life.
  • YES! Late Night TV is getting awesomer and now I have to practice staying up late.
  • I just discovered Skillshare this week and already have 10 classes on my wish list. The internets are an amazing tool.
  • Birds made out of food, everyone.
  • EFFFFFF!
  • Also, The Masters Tournament is on. I don’t watch/play/understand golf, but I do know a good excuse to make PIMENTO CHEESE when I see one! Hip hip!

…Cheerio! Loveyoubye, Maggie

Friday Links

4.4.14-links

Last time I posted links from around the web I called the post “Let’s Link Up”.  All went well, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something kinda creepy slash dumb about the phrase I’d chosen on a whim. So I did some poking around (doubling down on the creepy phrases) and decided to switch things up. I don’t need to go into detail because Urban Dictionary can do it for you – a handy little NSFW resource that’s also useful for translating Kendrick Lamar songs.

So…Friday Links.

  • Wes Anderson Fever 
  • The poor Pangolin – maybe Randall and Honey Badger can help save these little guys!
  • Speaking of Kendrick Lamar…he teamed up w/ Alicia Keys and Pharrell for this song from ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ and I totes dig it.
  • Working on a stationery project this week and thinking about fonts fonts and fonts.
  • How Well Do You Know 90’s R&B Lyrics?  For me? Surprisingly not well enough to continue to sing them in public.
  • What’s the Problem with Pink Anyway? I’m pumped that we are talking about this since my Star Wars Legos made an awesome house for my My Little Ponies when I was little.
  • We’ve been eating (store bought frozen) black bean veggie burgers for lunch all week. Don’t judge. We roll them up in corn tortillas with avocado and sriracha for some lean protein + satch fats + antioxidants. But I realized there are a ton of nasty preservatives, salt and fake shit in them so I want to try and make my own now. Maybe this recipe is a good start?
  • Did you say Sriracha? And peanut butter? 
  • Oh, also…my Mom called me out on an ITS vs. IT’S typo this week (special non-existent prize if you noticed it too). So I will be visiting this site more frequently and practicing the ‘fresh pair of eyes’ rule with my posts. Cuz we don’t want no typos up in herr.

Have a smashing weekend! Loveyoubye, Maggie
