Can I be honest? This week was a bit of a doozy. It kicked my ass. I flailed back. It wasn’t cute.
In response, I made us popcorn. ย It’s sweet and spiced, and makes a totally acceptable dinner. ย Add wine and a few episodes of Boardwalk Empire and I suspect we’ll all be back on our feet in no time.
Oh! I feel like we could use some mental popcorn too. Here are so links to feed your brain while you eat popcorn. ย Also, if you eat popcorn by placing your entire face in the popcorn bowl and eat whatever sticks to you tongue… you’re a friend of mine.
The Internet is forever new. I love a new site called PUNCH. We are what we drink, so let’s learn more! The cocktail recipe section is gorgeous and ample. ย I also totally enjoy these pieces about Kentucky Moonshine.
I’m going to see the movie 12 Years A Slave as soon as I can muster up the energy to be destroyed. ย This review by David Simon has some really thoughtful words in it. ย I’m in.
Big Mother Is Watching You is an interesting article about how you can use technology to spy on your kids… but you totally shouldn’t. ย If my parents had the ability to spy on me in the mid-90’s… I would have had a lot less fun in AOL chatrooms. ย #imnotwrong
Ooooh how we are spied on. ย On the press, the leaks, and the really bold work of Edward Snowden. ย It’s crazy.
Lastly, PUMPKIN COFFEE CAKE!
Popcorn recipe after the jump!

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Hello Joy. I finally introduced myself to you and your kitchen on your latest post – bidding au revoir to your much blessed home. That said, I was/am overdue in commenting on this very recipe. So wonderful! I shared it on my blog and made sure to give you full acknowledgment. I do hope my readers have found their way to your beautiful kitchen or find their way soon to your new one. I certainly can’t wait.
And, of course, she gave you an option so that
you didn’t have to watch it. But that still wasn’t good enough for you.
