Let It Be Sunday, March 22, 2015!

-Jinx!

[H]appy Sunday, friends!

I have three hopes for you today:

I hope there’s champagne in your orange juice and fresh flowers in  a vase.  What luxuries… seriously.

I hope you make yourself a big pot of Roasted Garlic Soup and not care a lick about the garlic breath you might have for the next full week or so.  (Kidding… it’s not really that bad.)

I sincerely hope you take some time to slow it all down today.  Leave and the muss and fuss for Monday and Wednesday.

This was a week.  We’re carrying on through the year, aren’t we?

•  There is an election this coming week in Nigeria, but what’s really most pressing there is Boko Haram.  This from the NYT:  Nigerian Army Noticeably Absent From Town Liberated from Boko Haram.

•  We live in an age of irrational parenting.  I don’t even want to let my housecat out on the patio, so I totally understand this.

•  Seven years ago Los Angeles banned the expansion of fast food restaurants in South LA in an effort to curb obesity rates.  Unfortunately, it didn’t work.

•  In a world that has a review for dang-near everything on the planet, I mean… who can we trust?  Inside The Mad Mad World of TripAdvisor.  

•  Have you seen the new HBO show ‘The Jinx’?  Probably yes.  You’re much more on top of things than me.  I juuust now figured out that House of Cards is back and new.  I have yet to see ‘The Jinx’, but woweee how we blur real life and entertainment:   The Queasy Finale of ‘The Jinx’

•  Ben Dorcy has been a roadie since 1950.  Let’s wrap our brain around that kinda life and then read all about him:  The First Roadie Ever 

•  I haven’t read this yet, but here’s a peek into my Internet-land weekend reads:  The Woman Who Froze In Fargo.

•  There’s an app for that:  You phone buzzes when you approach places where women made history (aka herstory).

•  Ask a Wine Pro:  Pronouncing Wine Words.  When you want to do more than wince and point.

•  I will eat hummus until the cows come home.  Related: I don’t want to talk about my breath.  Thanks.  Green Goddess Hummus.

•  New Orleans love!  We have a new happy place:  St. Roch Market.

•  Kate Spade and her forever-clever clutches:  Wedding Belles.

Happy day to you and us!

Hello, friends! What are you eating and drinking to stay cool when going outside is like entering a furnace?

Maybe this’ll be the…
