Spring Break Travels

I’m visiting my parents for the next several days and my sister will be home from college too! I found some wonderful suitcase pictures from Yvette Inufio’s Flickr page just for this occasion:

Link Casserole

• One minute ciabatta! I think a warm bowl of soup, a few slices of ciabatta, and a good book is how I’m spending my night [plus I have to get up at like, 5am to go to the airport — no crazy partying for me]
• Does eating locally kill innovation? This is something that I’ve thought about lately. I’d like to interview Chef about this…(darling, are you listening?)
• Le Whif, the inhalable chocolate: at only one calorie per whiff, it comes in four flavors: pure chocolate, raspberry chocolate, mint chocolate and coffee. So…would you get high on chocolate?
• Pretty paper goods from Wren & Chickadee

I ♥ Coffee

Things that need coffee/espresso drinks to function:

• Any device connected to this coffee table (something that I’ve mentioned before)
• This car
• This Oatmeal comic wouldn’t work without coffee
• This cat
• This dog (sort of)
• Me

Link Casserole

Interesting links I found today:

• A peanut butter and jelly wallet
• Something I’m going to buy once I find it: an Everything Bagel Spice. I would use it season everything. I love bagels. (via)
• The Gadling lists the 20 greatest cities for “foodies”. I really hate that term and my conclusion: the list sucks. If you’re going to mention Chicago, at least mention some of the great molecular gastronomy restaurants. Lastly, you can’t have a complete food city list without naming Paris and New York.
• An interactive map from the New York Times showing the best coffee places in New York City.
• It’s European Waste Reduction Week. We should take a cue from our European friends and pick food products that have less mess and fuss, aka less packaging (via Eat Me Daily)
