We're gearing up for a fun weekend featuring a badminton tournament with some friends; it's sure to have lots of aggressive whiffing at the shuttlecock, guzzling of pizza and beer, and plenty of laughs. The laughs are key because I have a tendency to only play well when the score isn't being kept. Did I mention it's also part costume party with vintage athletic apparel encouraged? Oh yeah.
Here are some items that I've been checking out this week:
Now that zucchini is in season and abundant at the Farmer's Market, I've been making these pancakes for breakfast and topping them with a fried egg. It's. Amazing. As in everyone argues over the last one after we've all had seconds amazing.
If you live in SE Michigan, you have to check out Grubbable, an app that connects you with restaurants that use local ingredients. You can browse their participating restaurants or get a membership that gives you a portion off of your entrée. That's a win-win in my book.
Do you know this trick to stop you from crying? It's pretty amazing, and I may or may not have used it this past week when tearing up while making the case for why we need to get a puppy.
We just watched Richard Linklater's new film Everybody Wants Some!! last night, and it was everything you'd expect from a "spiritual sequel" to Dazed and Confused. If you haven't seen it yet, drop everything you have planned for tonight and check it (and the bonus features!) out.
Need more inspiration for what film to watch next? This beautiful 100 Years/100 Shots will have you falling in love with old favorites and checking out films you keep meaning to see.
