The question that I get asked most frequently, by far, is ‘Which blogs do you read? And why don’t you list them out on your blog? What’s your problem, M.?!?’
Seriously, it’s never actually that confrontational, like a Sharks and Jets kind of thing, but I do get this question a lot.
The truth is that I was never a fan of the whole blogroll thing. It feels sort of artificial and dusty, like a poorly curated museum or an unmonitored sock drawer.
But I do read a lot of blogs! Many, many, many… in fact, blogs have really become my primary source of news. Why? Because at some point after becoming an adult, I acknowledged that ‘the news’ is really pretty subjective. Don’t worry: I’m not going to step onto my soapbox here. But it’s the truth and here’s my proof: ’the news’, both what is discussed and how it’s discussed, is promulgated by human beings. And human beings have opinions, which means that ‘the news’ is just like humans: subjective! (Bear with me, I’m rounding the bend and pulling up behind my point.) So once I realized that the news is subjective, I realized that it was OK to just be totally up front about it and start getting my news directly from human beings. Thus, blogs.
Anywho, all of this is to say that my reader is filled to the brim with good stuff every single day. And I want to start talking about it!
So I’m starting a new feature here on SB: Links To Save Your Life! Why? Because I’m quite sure that this is absolutely, positively the very best collection of links out there! I’m positive! It’s the best! Until the next edition of Links To Save Your Life!
Enough creepy narcissism. Let’s roll:
These cookies. Because I can’t keep away from anything with cajeta in it. The roasted banana and chocolate is just gravy.
I recently fulfilled a major life goal and acquired a waffle iron. I can’t stop talking about it and I can’t stop staring at it in its new place on my kitchen counter. Accordingly, I’m on the hunt for major waffle recipes, and savory feels like a good place to start. Which is why these waffles are just what the doctor ordered as far as I’m concerned.
Really Anthro? Would you like to just take a vacuum to my wallet?? Starting with the dollars for this jacket???
I recently walked in on A. calling B. a curmudgeon. To his face! Yes, the dog is technically a senior citizen, and yes, he’s become quite demanding in his geriatric years. But a curmudgeon? To his face?? I think I’ll make him a batch of these treats as an apology on A.’s behalf.
Since I’m not generally gentle with my spice, these cookies spoke to me.
These legwarmers. The reason should be self-evident.
I spent a solid 3 minutes just staring at this unbelievable savory tart. I mean, if you can look away from the image of the eggplant slices tucked neatly into the crust like so many dominoes, you are way, way, way better than me.
