The Daily Eat: Pear Lime Cake.
This Pear Lime Cake would be perfect for breakfast or mid-afternoon tea. Or right now at 12: 56 in the afternoon…

Five and a Half Notebooks.
I’m an admitted notebook-a-holic and the little guys from Five and a Half are some of the best I’ve seen. Love the kitschy photography that adorns the cover of each one and I always have a tough time saying no to dessert.

Tribacchetta 3-Legged Chopsticks.
Handmade of natural bamboo, these Tribacchetta 3-legged chopsticks are shaped like forceps and make eating Asian cuisine easy. Equally useful as a serving utensil for tiny appetizers! And I’m 99% sure I’d look way more adept using these than the usual suspects.

Monday Goodness: We Don’t.
Seriously, we don’t. But I’ve worked somewhere that does and I swear it makes me more productive!

Sk8 Bags.
I will say it again and again (and again for good measure): turn something that serves one purpose into something that serves another and I think it’s genius.
Case in point: the skateboard clutch purse or aptly named Sk8 Bag. For every bag purchased designer Beck(y) donates $3 to various organizations dedicated to building and maintaining skateparks across the country. So cool, so cool.

The Daily Eat: Apple and Cider Beignets.
These Apple and Cider Beignets have been on my To Make list for quite some time now. If you’re not familiar with beignets, they resemble a slightly doughier version of a doughnut and are so, so delicious. The addition of some fruit only makes them healthier, right??

Nicobar Folding Tray Table.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I need a folding tray table. You just can’t go wrong with versatility like that. The Nicobar folding tray table from Ballard Designs is my favorite so far. It unfolds for easy set up and has a removable tray top with separate spaces for bottles and glassware. Entertainment on the fly – love it!

Anthony Burrill.
Book Smarts is a series of three books – The Truth About Nothing, Semi-Survival Guide to the Future and Words of Finite Wisdom – by Anthony Burrill that had me cracking up at my desk this morning. Anyone who can make me laugh that hard makes me instantly like them. I’d love to own a set of these bad boys.
UPDATE: After posting this, Anthony himself contacted me. He saw that I was a fan of the band Reindeer Section and shared a video he made for them and their song You Are My Joy. So, so good it left me a little happy/sad! Check it out here.
