Saturday Sites: Week Seventeen

What do you wonder about? What do kids wonder about? These sorts of things, apparently…

Spring time is asparagus time… and I am obsessed. THIS SANDWICH. I want it.

When I was 16 or so, I discovered Natalie Merchant and my moody teenage self appreciated her so much. Watching this video, turns out my late-20-year-old-self still loves her.

When my husband and I were in New York a few years ago, we discovered the halal food truck that had gigantic lines of folks waiting for food… I waited. And understood the craze after I consumed my plate of food. This homemade version of the beloved meat + rice dish sounds spot on. I shall vegetarian-ize it SOON.

This dad, a professional filmmaker from the Netherlands filmed his daughter, from 0 months to 14-years-old then edited it all together to show her growing up. Crazy.

To ALL you moms!

Ding dongs! Cake! Salted caramel! Salted caramel ding dong cake? Mmhmm.

This little dude will make you smile.

I love nerdy things… like graphs. Graphs depicting the 20-year-old experience? Spectacular nerdiness.

This ice cream recipe is going on my list of things to make in the near future!

A while ago, DOVE released this ad, attempting to show women that they are more beautiful than they think they are. The parody, featuring a sketch artist who did a mens’ version? I sat in disbelief. (Kara, this is totally for you.)

Speaking of parodies, The Onion’s take on how to live gluten free…

I love carrot cake and enjoy smoothies… Carrot cake smoothie? Yes.

When I was in college, one of my roommates and I deemed ourselves old women. We even had “old lady names” — Helga and Maude, I believe. I took one of those silly quizzes, to find out what kind of old person I’d be? Apparently I will be “80 years young” – I’ll stay as active as an 18 year old! You will do lots of things you barely have the energy to do now, like dancing and going to the gym at 5 am. You have your regular bingo night, and you drink like an Irish man at his prime. Age is nothing but a number!

This pasta sounds yummy!

I am pretty sure this is mostly true about the place I grew up…
