Left Field Friday: October 4th, 2013
Hiii guys! Happy Friday. The temps have officially DROPPED in MN. It went from sunny, beautiful weather (see pic above from a wedding last weekend, ohhh FALL) to dark, monotone and rainy. At the moment I kind of love it, because it’s Friday and I have a cozy weekend of baking, yoga, and Game of Thrones ahead of me. It’s a hole-up kind of weekend, and every so often those are just the best.
Since I haven’t had a chance to post a recipe this week (I tried, I really really tried, but the perfectionist in me wouldn’t allow a post to go up that wasn’t perfect), I thought I’d share some fun links with all of yous. As is the case with all of my sporadic Friday posts, they’re super random, but that’s how I roll.
- A girl I graduated from college with wrote this “missed connection” to a man who drive-by heckled her. Not only is it well written, but it says what many women have wanted to say in similar situations for, well, all of time.
- These pumpkin cinnamon rolls from Sally’s Baking Addiction miiiiight have to happen this weekend….while sitting beside pumpkin candles and drinking pumpkin coffee, obviously.
- Earlier this week, Jessica at How Sweet It Is posted this Buzzfeed list, which hits so close to home that it’s a bit scary. When I sent it to The Beast, I said “Every single one describes me to a tee, except #8, because I love Christmas too much,” and then, sure enough, last night at dinner I complained about Christmas decorations being out too already. I become more of an old lady every day.
- This commercial made me laugh so hard it wasn’t so much a laugh as it was a quiet wheezing of sorts. Nooooooooooooope.
- Stephanie at Girl vs. Dough posted these Brie and Jam Pretzel Hand Pies a couple months ago, but somehow I only recently stumbled across them on Pinterest. They pretty much look like my dream come true.
- If you’re a baking nerd like me, you need to read this explanation of baking soda vs. baking powder. I love it when Joy the Baker talks science.
Have a happy weekend! I’ll be back with a recipe next week, promise. :)
