Let It Be Sunday, September 2014

-Leave 'Em Laughing

September 28, 2014 by Joy the Baker 19 Comments

Let It Be Sunday

Happy Sunday my friends! I hope your week has been full, productive, filled with coffee and salad and the occasional treat.  I’m working hard on a cookbook about BRUNCH while preparing to jump up and down for my second cookbook release Homemade Decadence.  I feel very blessed to live these days.

There is lots of riffraff on the Internet these days.  Here are some a few of my favorites from this week:

•  Let’s talk about technology.  The Brave New Phone Call.

•  Are you ready for a new social network!?  Don’t worry, I hear you screaming NOOOOOOO just below my own similar screams.  Despite our cries… Ello.  Is it the invite only anti-Facebook social network or is it just another pain in the rear?  According to The Atlantic Ello Says You’re Not A Product But You Are. SIGH.

•  “Defying expectations is one thing; winning a war in which victory has not yet been adequately defined is another.”  The Reluctant Loner President Builds a Coalition and Goes After Terrorists Across Syria because really bad things are still happening in Syria and Iraq.

• Co-creator of The Simpsons Sam Simon is in a philanthropic race against terminal cancer:  Always Leave Them Laughing.

•  Why Men Never Remember Anything.  It’s not because they aren’t listening… it’s because as youths, boys are spoken to differently than girls.

•  I’m reading Men We Reaped by Jesmyn Ward.  It is heartbreaking and beautiful.

•  I often skip wearing an apron in the kitchen because I don’t want a shapeless / boxy piece of fabric to ruin my dinner party outfit.  Thankfully the new line of  Salt House Aprons keeps my fashion and kitchen vanity in mind with their lovely aprons.  My favorite is the Maxi.   I wear it high-waisted and it’s super chic.

•  Never buy that little jar of pre-made Pumpkin Pie Spice again:  Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice

•  There are new episodes of my web series Bonkers Awesome ready for you on ulive!  I made the best caramel apples with the ladies of Liddabit Sweets and it was the best day!

•  New Joy the Baker Podcast for you: The GIF That Keeps On Giving.

•  Arugula Persimmon and Pomegranate looks divine.

•  Maple Pumpkin Latte Syrup.  I believe this will be quite delicious!

Let’s enjoy this day!  I love you, bye-bye!

    I just ordered your new book! {I know, I know…WHY HAS IT TAKEN ME SO LONG?? I have no excuse.} I’m ecstatic to be able to hold this book in my hands because I know it is going to be a piece of edible art. {Well the book isn’t edible, but you get the point.} I am positive that I will be inspired by the project that you have poured your heart and soul into for the last year. Keep on being awesome! <3
