Citations for Real Life

I have not been gifted with patience in this life. I try to keep calm and collected, but more times than not it ends with me yelling obscenities in my car or in my head. Sometimes I even make up my own combinations from different parts of words, that part’s just a gift. Citations for Real Life is the perfect fit with notes for coworkers, neighbors, parking, cell phone usage, and grammar. Choose from 20 different citations and get the weight of bearing someone else’s stupidity off your shoulders.

Paletas

The past few summers – and who knows how many before that – have been swept up in a frenzy of popsicles. (As evidenced here and here.) No one can seem to get enough, and the migration of Mexican paletas making their way further north is only driving the craze. This cookbook, Paletas: Authentic Recipes for Mexican Ice Pops, Shaved Ice & Aguas Frescas, is on my MUST BUY list for sure.
