It's the fourth Friday of August and my office is dead quiet. Half the staff is out on vacation and the other half is surfing the internet, trying to pass the minutes until it's time to go home. Here are some of the things I've been reading to make the moments fly by until the end of the day...
- Could organic booze be the secret to avoiding a hangover?
- Joy the Baker and What Geeks Eat both whip up homemade doughnuts.
- David Lebovitz asks, "Are you a melon washer?" (I'm not).
- Speaking of melons, Culinate waxes poetic about the noble muskmelon.
- Looking for a greener way to do your grocery shopping? Check out the iZip Tricruiser.
- If you grew up in California, then you probably have memories of getting ice cream cones at the Thrifty Drug store (now Rite Aid). They used a cylindrical scoop to dole out their ice cream and Kate has finally found one that replicates that experience.
- Looking to spruce up that hot dog? Marie at Make and Takes has some fun ways to make hot dogs even more kid-friendly.
- Looking for ways to keep your fruit budget out of the stratosphere? Follow Sweet Juniper's lead and do a little urban gleaning.
