Have a Fun Weekend.

May 11, 2012

My lovelies, what are you up to this weekend? I’m hoping for some quality time with a great friend as well as some delicious tacos from one of our favourite places in town. Hope you have a fun one! Here are some delicious posts from around the web…

A gorgeous cake from a blog I really love.

This looks like one of my very favourite breakfasts, gone bananas.

I may have a thing for fritters.

An elegant and grown up galette.

And a perfectly simple one too.

If this doesn’t tickle your taste buds nothing will.

What a stunning cake!

One more amazing cake for the road!

P.S. Look what my boss brought back from Paris!

Happy Friday! What do you have up your sleeve for the weekend? We’re having friends over for lunch tomorrow and I’m excited to make some delicious food for us all. Sunday is the May Day Parade, which is kind of a big deal in Minneapolis. Oh, and you can bet I’ll be finding some tacos to eat in celebration of Cinco de Mayo. Here are some fun posts from around the web…

May I suggest you make this for a lovely weeknight dinner?

Now I’m all rosy-eyed for home.

First things first, thank you to all of you who left a comment or wrote me an email in response to Monday’s post on getting back in the swing of things. It seems I am not alone in feeling the way I have been feeling and your empathy was heartening. I was so buoyed by all your kind words, compassion, and understanding so thank you!

It was my birthday this week (you didn’t know it, but we celebrated with scones on Wednesday :)) so I’ve been in celebration mode all week. It’s been a good ‘un, friends. Here are some fun posts from around the web. Have a wonderful weekend!

This soup seems really Dickensian and richly decadent all at the same time.
