Friday Reading

By June 21, 2013October 2nd, 201311 Comments

June 21 has been circled in the girlsโ€™ calendars since last fall. You know where my Pixarheads are going to be as soon as their parents figure out a way to get them there.

I am about ย as sick of the โ€œKeep Calm and Carry Onโ€ parodies as the next person, but this one, printed on cocktail napkinsย really made me laugh. (Thanks, Bonnie!)

A 5-day menu-plan for Vacation House Cooking.

The learning from this: Weekend behavior is very unlike weeknights when it comes to cooking. And: Mothers are crazy.

The power of rituals. ย (Thanks, Todd!)

A brand new blog for childrensโ€™ books. (I think we mustโ€™ve grown up in the same house because our taste in books is identical.)

She believes in family dinner. She just canโ€™t make it happen every night.

Always fun to hear what New York Times staffers are reading.

My summer reading, so far.

An absolute treasure troveย of summer-ready ice cream treats, cheesecakes, pies, parfaits.

Have a great weekend!

    On the subject of vacation meals, I put together the corn and tomato salad in the DALS cookbook for a Fatherโ€™s Day family BBQ last weekend. The dish received rave reviews from everyone! Thank you for the reminder that eating seasonally is so very delicious.

    Thanks for the link to the Motherlode post. With three middle and high schoolers and two in elementary school, we are living that particular dream/nightmare. I loved โ€œfeeding our kids like hobbitsโ€! Itโ€™s all about doing what we can and capturing the moments as they come.
