link love

Since I posted a recipe on Friday instead of Sunday, to make sure you had enough time to make some chocolatey goodness for your Valentine, we missed out on last week’s link love.  Not to worry, here is some good ‘ol link love to brighten the beginning of your week.

Since it is President’s Day, let’s start off with a presidential cheese board.  You know, the usual.   These bloggers did a bit of research on favorite foods of past presidents and came up with a cheese board to represent the history lesson.  As an American history and food lover, I can’t get enough of this post.

While we are on the topic of President’s Day, pop over to this article on gifts presented to the president by foreign dignitaries.  A bit of the history lover comes out in me with this article too.  I’ll take the Resolute desk over 300 pounds of raw lamb, thank you.

Millennials spend more on going out to eat than any generation has in the past, and because of social media and high expectations, restaurants have adapted.  From food trucks to Edison bulbs, the emphasis on delicious dinners in today’s foodie culture has changed how and where restaurants cook and present their foods.

I visited this blog post expecting a few photos from a foreign trip and not much more to the post.  I was wrong.  Each of the many photos is amazing and the whole post lights a fire in my wanderlusting heart.  Iceland seems a bit cold right now, but maybe someday?

Have you seen the new emojis that are slated to come out later this year?  Some of them look a bit strange, some of them are hilarious and some of them are a long time coming (looking at you, avocado).  I think my favorites in the new group are facepalm, selfie, pancakes and cartwheel girl.  Mainly, I’m just excited to have more opportunities to unnecessarily use emojis ;)

On that note, I learned from this article that I am definitely not as good at Snapchat as I thought I was.  I honestly didn’t think I was great, but didn’t know how terrible I was at it.  It is entertaining and makes it easier to keep up with people, but I would never want to waste as much time on it as these teens.  I did alway wonder about how people included longer text,   and did you know you can make your own filter?!  The things we learn from teens.
