Kitchen Sink Links {5}

This Saturday food blogger across the country will be joining forces (selling sweets) to raise money for Share Our Strength. I've been making goodies for the Atlanta event, which will be at Cook's Warehouse Ansley Mall location from 9 am to 1 pm. Check here to see if there's a sale in your city.

If you can't make the sale, consider making a donation online here.

I also decided to give up sugar for a week (great timing, right?).  I have a pretty serious sweet tooth, which seems to have taken a turn for the worst. My body (and my palate) need a little break from sweetness to recover and reset.

But, of course, I can (and do) dream about sweet things all day long, right? So here are a few things I'm lusting for:

Joy's Coffee Coffee Cake Muffins . I've been craving streusel lately (totally normal huh?) and the combo of vanilla and espresso is righteous. Bookmarking these guys for Mother's Day brunch.

I'm so in love with Ashley's words on the seasons of life. We are in a planting and weeding season right now and I'm trying to be present in that, which is always a challenge for me. Her Rhubarb Mojito will probably help though.

Megan makes a mean goat's milk caramel, I mean Cajeta.

I just subscribed to Remedy Quarterly and the back issues arrived this week. I'm so excited to dig in!

Love this info-graphic from Grist (via Good) and this twitter, PicturelessPins!

Wishing you a very sweet weekend!

The internet is so crowded! I think I read that on Twitter, but, geeze, it sure felt crowded this week!

Instagram got bought for one billion dollars. 

The Department of Justice is suing Apple and publishers over e-books

Hillary Clinton is Texting Everybody

I know, I know, none of that is really food related but there's also turkey dome and a butter-dish shoe.

What was good on the webernet this week?
Amanda Hesser's Advice to Aspiring Food Writers  is solid.

Inside the Matzo Factory  is interesting.

There Will Be Cookies  is sweet and touching.

Frank Burni's piece on Craig Claiborne via the NYT is charming.

I think I'm staying away from the internet this weekend, but I'll miss you.

Have a fun Friday!

p.s. There is still a book to be won.

Internet! I love you! There were plenty of funny and thought provoking things popping up around the web this week, here are a few of my favorites:

Polaroid cameras are back! And they're digital! Hope this is my Mother's day present (hint, hint, Hubs!)

If you aren't on twitter you might have missed this video: Eat it, Don't Tweet It.

Fancy Fast Food is an interesting, if not completely gross and wasteful, experiment in making bad food "fancy".

Adam Roberts wrote a great post asking Are Food Blogs Over?! What do you think? I like Roberts call for ground breaking in the form.

A cake of made with beans!   And this, this Carrot Ginger Elixir makes me want to go and buy a juicer.

This book arrived today and I can't wait to dig in as part of the Phenomenally Indecisive Book Club.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

remains of the snack. 

Our fridge went out this week. Yes, it was pretty terrible to have to throw out a bunch of groceries, but, hey, now both the fridge and freezer are clean!

Here are a few things I'm loving around the web this week:

The combination of pollen and warmer weather we are experiencing in Atlanta right now can only be combated with a lovely drink like this Sweet N' Spicy from Eat, Make, Read

John and Sherry finished up their kitchen remodel over at Young House Love. Opening up that wall did wonders for the space, but I'm loving the penny tile and industrial style stools the most.

It was reassuring to read Virginia's post on The State of Cookbook Publishing, ya know, because I like having a job and all.

Favorite new to me food blog of the week: Food Plus Words. These Whiskey Oatmeal Pies are totally on my "to-bake" list now.

On my "to-make-then-consume-in-mass-quantities list": Chihuahua Mac and Cheese from Scarletta Bakes. This is my favorite line from the post and I think it pretty much sums up my week:

"I personally have never heard of a Mac & Cheese Deficiency, but assuming it exists, I’ve been suffering something fierce."

How about you, how was your week?  What's cooking this weekend? 


Happy Friday!

Welcome to the ides of March, it's strawberry season; Here are some things worth reading, viewing, and eating from the week of March 12:

Irvin Lin's post on Google Plus for Food Bloggers caught my attention, so I joined Google + . I already Tweet, Tumble, Facebook, and Pin, so I'm not sure how there will be time for much else.

The piece on Cookbook Ghostwriters  from the NYT got a little backlash on Twitter. Regardless of whether you consider yourself a writer or an author, its be nice to see recipe developers get a little more credit - even if its on an acknowledgement page in the very back of the book. For the record - I'm not complaining - I've certainly been given credit where due and am fortunate to have good work relationships.

THIS VIDEO is an absolute must watch (dice = dice, c'mon!) and for a laugh this one too.

Go read Tami's post about Silence, Spring and Strawberries and then make her cake.

This weekend is a busy one, but I'd like to squeeze in a field trip to this place. Hmm a fried chicken field trip...

Happy Friday everyone!
