Food for Thought: The Week In Review

 

I think it's been about four weeks since my last 'Food for Thought' post which makes perfect sense; it's been about that long since we've had a normal routine in the house thanks to summer vacation and the craziness that comes with having the kids around 24-7.

My time has been occupied with vacation, day trips, staying up late, eating good food, having sleepovers with cousins, going to baseball games and golf camp, visiting friends cottages, swimming, watching The Newsroom, and pretty much anything else that strays from the “normal”. I can't promise August will be any different, but we're having a blast and even though the work is piling up, and I'm falling further and further behind, it's all worth it. 

While we venture out again on another day trip, here are some of the things that recently caught my eye. I hope you're all enjoying summer as much as we are!

• This series on modern etiquette is pretty fab. Especially the post on how to deal with food restrictions/allergies. 

• The complete guide to tipping in 2013.

• Charcoal vs. Gas Grilling: A Scientific Look at Which is Better

• I love Lillet, and Rosé is my favourite type of wine, so this cocktail is definitely on my must-make list this week. 

• Amy went to Michigan to learn about cherries. When she came home she made this awesome cherry and goat cheese crostini.

• My boys can get enough of this video. 

• I just finished this book and loved it. If you like food and people I suspect you'll enjoy it, too. 

• Rob and I saw this movie on a date last week - I highly recommend.

• The top 5 outrageous foods coming to the CNE in Toronto in 2013. 

• I'm bookmarking Mardi's post for my next trip to paris.
