say somethingOh boy!! I always spend way more time on the internet than I had planned after reading these Friday posts…here it goes!
My boyfriend has actually given me a couple of those Horrible Cards. For Valentine’s Day.
what a good boyfriend!
You have turned me on to some of the BEST blogs out there. Helen Jane may be a new addiction for me.
I recently took an Indian cooking class at Kitchen on Fire in Berkeley and the chef taught us the easiest mango Lassi recipe – just go to the Indian market and buy a big can of pureed mango (not the pickled one – i’ve made that mistake before. No bueno!) and then mix that with one big container of plain whole milk yogurt (I like Strauss since I can buy it at Costco now). My kids love it!
Helen Jane is the shiz!! Seriously! And this mango lassi recipe sounds simple! I gotta try it. THANK YOU, Shawna!
That was the best Friday eyes-dropping I could have happened upon! Thanks guys for being nice and fun and cool and awesome.
I am ALL OVER the lipstick tutorial! I live for the lipstick! I’ve put my obsession onto my daughter as well! Also, my dog has a constant PINK nose from me! My family loves that about me
! Not so sure about Gordie – but he loves me too!
Oh man. If I wore lipstick, I’m pretty sure Cooper’s cheeks would be permanently pink!!
Love this. Thanks for featuring my mango lassis—I need to meet Cooper!
I’m pretty much just going to pretend that you posted a link to those birthday cards for me. Yay! Happy Weekend Tracy!
heehee! They ARE FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I adores Rebecca! I’ve said in the past that she’s like my Oprah! She inspires me in so many ways. I think she’s just amazing and wonderful.
She’s pretty fricking amazing!
I love your lists and that you included me. The pasta was delicious. Thank you for the list and the recipe!
I have to agree with my buddy Cooper – mango lassis are pretty much the bomb.com
Tons of good stuff here, thanks Tracy. It’s finally heating up here and I can’t wait to grill this weekend so those brioche buns just got added to my ‘to do’. Thanks!
Don’t they look lovely?!! Happy Grilling!
So much good stuff! The bundt cake post is awesome and Depressedcopywriter.com cracked me up.
I LOOOOOVE GGC. Rebecca’s photos of her little twins make my ovaries hurt……and my little one is only 3 months old.

What an amazing post on food photography! I just want to glean as much information from her as I can. Thank you SO much for posting the link to that, I’m inspired.
I love hopw you include your recipes adapted on other peoples blogs!
