It's Friday, I'm in Love

Except I don't know why this one was included. She's got it together.
Forget cats. Frenchies dominate my Internet!

This roasted garlic pasta salad from Budget Bytes uses part-skim ricotta as the creamy dressing! That's such a good idea, I don't know why I didn't think of it...

27 Ways to be an (even) better person and practically levitate with awesomery (I could be more awesome if I wasn't perpetually tardy. Oops.)

I love Rachel Khoo! Her cooking show, the Little Paris Kitchen, is adorable but makes me hate the fact that I don't live in Paris. I will have to do with her new cookbook of the same name. Don't tell her that I replaced Gruyère with "white cheese mix"...

Adultingblog.com! No matter how experienced of an adult you might be, everyone can get some valuable advice from the Adulting blog. I especially needed to be reminded to buy a plunger before I need one and the advice on what to bring to a dinner party.

And now for a small confession: I don't really like Etsy. It's a brilliant concept, but it doesn't regulate itself very well. Items on Etsy are supposed to be handmade or vintage or art and yet there is SO MUCH wholesale crap from China. There are of course, really good sellers on Etsy that actually provide quality products (like Tumbleweeds who are Etsy's current featured seller and Kate Gabrielle's adorable Flapperdoodle goods!). Just be careful when purchasing because something homemade or vintage can easily arrive as clearly neither... So what I'm in love with today, is the discovery that lots of that NOT-handmade stuff is available on ebay for like 99 cents with free shipping. For example this, this and this. Just don't be dumb, know what you're really buying and don't waste your money on crap. Buy the crap on ebay!
