i am a food blog

Last night I dreamt I was friends with Taylor Swift and we were going on a road trip. We stopped into a roadside diner and were chatting when all of a sudden she got really paranoid and asked me to turn around and see if the people behind us were taking covert pictures of her. It was so REAL that when I woke up I was disappointed when I realized that it was all a dream. HA! Sometimes I dream so hard that the dreams (at least the feelings) blend into real life. Mike always tells me, “Remember, if you get mad in a dream, it doesn’t mean it happened in real life.” Cheers to the weekend and more dreaming!

Webstuff:

1. I eat at Chipotle maybe twice a year, not because of the calories, but just because there isn’t one right next to me.
2. Cookie Monster is deep.
3. I really enjoyed this article on Airbnb hosts in Japan.
4. Eggs are BACK!!!!

Link Love:

1. Mini cakes forever, especially if they’re matcha and black sesame.
2. This macaroni and “tease” doesn’t even have cheese and I’m enthralled.
3. Cupcake torched perfection: triple chocolate, double graham s’mores.
4. I want to eat ALL the scallion biscuits and Chinese sausage gravy!!!
5. I’ll take 12 of these ham and chive mini biscuit muffins please!

I’ve got my eyes on you:

1. I’ve had my eyes on the Searzall (the ULTIMATE kitchen torch!) forever but this week I finally bit the bullet and ordered one! They’ve been sold out forever, but Alana let me know that they’re back in stock so I just had to, right?!
2. Speaking of things Alana recommends, these kitchen towels look amazing! I’m partial to the classic flour sacks, but their tea towels are really pretty too.
3. Speaking of pretty, I LOVE these soap dispensers, but they’re ridiculously expensive. I need to figure out a DIY solution, stat.
4. You know how you search on Google for something then all of a sudden all of your ads end up being the thing you searched for so it’s basically taunting you into buying? Yup, happened to me. My favorite pair of Converses is completely beat up so I’ve been searching for a replacement pair. Haven’t bitten the bullet yet, but ALL of my ads are filled with pictures of these guys, which is pretty funny. But no, really, it’s not funny Google. You scare me!

Have a lovely weekend friends!

love & potatoes,

PS – I’ve been nominated for The Munchies, which um, when you look at the other nominees (Smitten Kitchen! Serious Eats!) is kind of mind boggling. Voting begins on Monday and it’s tournament style-elimination round thing. I’m pretty sure I’m going to be the first one KO’d, but if you guys would vote for me that would be so, so sweet! :)
