Weekly Menu Download.
I can hardly wait to print out a stack of weekly menu cards that a print a day is offering as a free download! If I don’t have things planned out grocery shopping turns into a nightmare really quickly these days.

On the Rocks: The Delicious Sour.
The Delicious Sour is a little more towards the fruity side of the cocktail spectrum than I generally like to venture, but the write up swears that the the apple and peach are nicely balanced by the lime. Sounds like a great springtime cocktail to me!
Ingredients:
– 2 oz applejack
– 2 oz créme de pêche
– 1 oz lime juice
– 1 bar-spoon sugar
– 1 egg white
Shake all ingredients hard with ice. Strain in to a tall glass and top-off with soda water. Garnish with an apple wheel.

Straw Straw.
The MUJI Award 03 gold prize winner is Straw straw by Yuki Iida of Japan and I couldn’t love it’s sheer brilliance any more. It almost can’t be described as design so much as ingenuity. Iida took something that already exists in nature an simply gave it a renewed purpose. Lovely.
The original meaning of the term “straw” was “wheat straw”. Wall art depicting people using straws of wheat to drink from have been discovered from ancient Mesopotamian ruins. Straws of wheat are forms created by nature; they are materials that return to the soil. There’s no waste in either the shape itself, or in its actual existence.

The Love Shop.
Who couldn’t use a little inspiration on a daily basis? I like the way The Love Shop reminds us of what really matters when it comes down to it.

The Daily Eat: Carbonara Deep Dish Pasta-Crusted Pan Pizza.
A pasta pizza? I’m totally on board! My friend, Elizabeth, is quite the little minx in the kitchen and made this Carbonara Deep Dish Pasta-Crusted Pan Pizza – using homemade pasta no less. I think I’ll stick to pre-made when I try it out, but talk about YUM!!!
