As we wind down at our house with pizza, wine, and football (oh, and some math homework) on a Thursday night, I am pleased that the weekend is almost upon us. I am also pleased that I will be getting a new Macbook Pro laptop for my office tomorrow as I am beyond tired of not having enough “OOMPH” in my current computer to do much of anything.
That said, here are a few fun and/or interesting photos/links to kick off the first weekend in October:
Why I love Ina Garten: because she is real and she does things herself. “There isn’t a letter, there isn’t a recipe, there’s no photograph, there isn’t a font, there isn’t a color, there isn’t a detail that I don’t totally do myself.” That includes her Facebook page and Instagram account. If you are a Barefoot Contessa fan, then you will want to read this article.
In case you have ever wondered if I eat any other protein besides turkey and eggs, I give you this photo, which showcases what we threw on the grill last weekend. Two mega-huge, gorgeous ribeyes that, if we followed nutritional rules, would feed about 10 people at 4 ounces each. (Reality check: they fed two people at two meals.)
These two cuties. Pardon me while I get all veklempt at how sweet and adorable it is that Miss Morgan loves her cousin Joe sooooo much (and vice versa). 🙂
I’m going to throw one work-related link in here this week because it’s just THAT good. This infographic busts 6 myths about chicken production – including the ever-present hormones/steroids thing. (Not true. And actually illegal.) Can we start spreading the actual truth, please? #FactsNotFear
And finally … a #FlashbackFriday photo of two cousins – one blonde, one brunette – growing up together in the 197os. I’d like you to meet Christine, my cousin and arguably my oldest friend as she and I are just 6 months apart in age. We have decades of memories full of secrets, giggles, sleepovers, and silly antics and I am so lucky she is in my life!
Have a great weekend, everyone!

P.S. I’m linking up with Diary of a Real Housewife this week!
