Meet Esther Walker
I ran across Esther Walker while trying to find her husbands book. I found her book, Bad Cook, instead. As it was only 2.99 I bought it first.
Since, I gulped down all the past entries from her blog Recipe Rifle and became a huge fan. I really appreciate her anecdotes from the front lines of young motherhood and pregnancy. Also, some really nice recipes that don’t have eighteen bajillon steps and require a cooking degree.
@wishing4horses bad cook is only £1.99!!!! Don't put people off!! Xxxx—

Edit: Esther says her book is 1.99 in the UK. So for my UK readers enjoy the savings!
Sunday Surfing: In Paris!
I’ve found a site that features videos from the ever amazing, always chic Ines de la Fressange. I’ve been glued to them for hours a while as Ines shows us all her favorite spots and treats in Paris.
C’est tellement génial! Aimez-la!

Meet Mimi
A feast for the eyes and belly, Mimi Thorisson writes about her life in Medoc France with her photographer husband, children and dogs. I love going to her site for her wonderful recipes, that remind me of the things my Grandma Naomi used to cook. The photography, done by her husband, is really beautiful.
Her Name is Lizzie Bennet…And That Was Awesome!
I’m sure you’ve heard about the 21st century update of Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice called The Lizzie Bennet Diaries Today was the last episode of the web-series and I just have to say, as an Internet fan and especially as a die-hard Janeite, its brilliant!
I must admit I’m feeling a little bereft without my twice weekly (sometimes thrice weekly once Lydia’s vids popped up) dose of Bennet drama.
Well, I guess there’s nothing left to do but go back and watch them all AGAIN!
Getting Into a New York State of Mind
When we decided on New York for our family vacation I asked for a list of things each person wanted to do…
Empire State Building
Lunch at Les Halles
Rockefeller Center & Top of the Rock
See a Yankee Game
Shop at Supreme (Gavin)
Have photo taken with The Wall Street Bull (Kellen)
A day at Coney Island
Natural History Museum
Have an authentic New York Pastrami Sandwich
Picnic in Central Park
Check out Grand Central Terminal
Dinner in Little Italy
Visit 911 Memorial
I must say, this is why I love planning trips so much! Scouring the Internet for places to go and see and things to eat! Very excited!
