Happy Friday! I hope your St. Patrick’s Day was filled with green yesterday! :)
We are so close to the weekend we can see it. Just one more day to power through! Woohoo! Daylight saving time threw me off at the beginning of this week like I don’t remember in the past. Is that a sign that I am getting old or do I just require more caffeine? Both? However, the beautiful weather and blooming trees and flowers made it a little easier to handle. Spring, please stay!
The internet was chock full of election articles this week after many state primaries on Tuesday, but here are some of the other things it provided for our link love this week:
Related to politics, the Canadian Prime Minister and his family visited the White House last week for one of the final US state dinners the Obama’s will host. It was glamorous.
Related to the White House, or the TV world of the White House at least, Joshua Malina announced that he and Hrishikesh Hirway will be hosting The West Wing Weekly podcast, coming out soon! This is great news for those of us who watch and rewatch and rewatch the entire West Wing series over and over agian. Now we will be able to rewatch them again and again with Joshua Malina’s explanation. What’s next? ;)
A study came out in February in the Journal of Physiology, concluding that some exercises are better than others in improving long-term brain health. They tested the brain function of rats for three types of exercises: running, high-intensity interval training and weightlifting. Out of these they determined that rats who ran a few miles each day had more vigorous levels of growth and development of nervous tissue in their brains than either of the other two exercises. They suggest any aerobic and sustained physical activity is good for brain development. Wanna ride bikes?
I need these tips all the time. There are always tasks that look so much better than the daunting blank slate or starting a project. Just do it: stop procrastinating, just start.
The movie comes out in June, the cookbook comes out in October. I know which Dorie I want to find. http://amzn.to/1Ua8aUE
On the topic of recipes, there are so many things we love to hate when we are following a recipe. Yes, they tell you to always read a recipe all the way through before starting, but sitll, sometimes they just need to be written to be more user-friendly. I’m sure I fall into some of these traps, but that doesn’t stop me from complaining about other recipe writing flaws, and hopefully avoiding them in my own. “Recipes that forget to mention…” are at the top of my personal hate list.
Happy Friday and happy weekending friends! I hope it is lovely!
