Blogger Jen of My Polaroid Blog is brilliant. Brilliant because her entire blog is based around and filled with Polaroids. And brilliant because she even made good of the rejects in an interesting way. Check them out at her flickr stream.
The I.V. is rad. (And FYI – I’m bring back to word rad.) I think my living vs dead plant ratio might increase exponentially with something like this around.
This self-watering plant pot’s main feature is a medical drip feed. This unique characteristic allows the plant to be nourished with water and food as it is required.
Let me preface this by saying that I’m not a big fan of the coconut.
Last weekend I made this ridiculously amazing three-layer coconut cake by Paula Deen. I’ve never tried any of her recipes before, but coconut cake is my mom’s favorite and this was for her birthday. Therefore, I was overruled. And I’m glad I was because as I said earlier – it was a-maz-ing. Super moist and not too coconutty (contrary to it being coated in the stuff). In fact, I’m thinking it could be the base for a lot of cake experimentation using the cake recipe as a base…

Splash sticks — plastic plugs for sip holes with tops in the shape of the Starbucks siren to keep your beverage from spilling out. Basically a cocktail stirrer for your coffee as well. All in all a good idea in my book, but I can where it might be a bit of pain to have to remove every single time you want to take a sip.
I’m silly. Silly because I’ve seen this Break the Routine print just about everywhere but my own living room and paid no attention to where it came from. Of course that would be Studio Mela which I’m now absolutely head over heels for.
My lunch will actually be mushroom risotto this afternoon (thanks to the company since we’ve been putting in so many long hours). This Zucchini Risotto’s been on my Must Try list for quite some time though. It has less butter than your average risotto and no wine, cutting down on unwanted calories exponentially.
I’m totally digging this Cat’s In Style litterbox (cover?) by designer Marly Gommans. I’m also pretty convinced I could make it myself. Not sure how Peanut and Roxy would feel about having to climb in and out of that little opening though since they’ve never had an enclosed bathroom box before…
