Link love (Powered by fresh faces and leisurely lunches)

This week, I really needed a dishwasher. And a dryer. After a brief welcome-to-winter heat spell, we reclaimed the title of rainiest city. (Perhaps it’s foolhardy not to fork out for a dryer, but it’s such a big expense and environmentally unfriendly.)

And for those who asked, I was previously working at a news website (hence the shift work; although I will miss that buzz and the feeling of being part of something larger and more important than myself – the news waits for no one) and am now at a magazine publisher.

Someone please try Poor Girl Eat Well’s fruity ice cream and report back!

Peanut butter and chocolate is one of my favourite combinations ever (think PB cups and buckeyes). And now, Iowa Girl’s crispy choc/PB cups.

    Thanks for sharing the link to my deep dish pizza!

    While it’s a little warm for pizza now that it’s summer for us, I bet this would be great as a winter dish in the Southern Hemisphere. I remember how cold it can get in New Zealand this time of year. 🙂

    Love the links! Quite thought-provoking and inspiring stuff. I’m finally getting the writing bug back again!

    Personally, I see nothing wrong with a good summery recipe, no matter what the weather. But with the heat and humidity in the Midwest here … yeah, I’m going to avoid making a pot roast for the near future. More salads, fewer baked goods, and I’ll save on my electricity bill!

    I always like your “powered by” in the titles of these Link Loves.
