An Assortment: Vol. IV

Hi all! Wanted to share some of my favorite things from around the interwebs this week. As with any good assortment, there's a bit of everything, so hopefully something will catch your eye. :)

• Sickness season is upon us! So many friends and acquaintances (and myself) have been stricken with colds or flu. If you're in the same boat, take a look at these cold-fighting hacks that I shared last fall. Of course, I can't promise a cure, but these little things do make life at least semi-bearable.

• This stand-up routine made me laugh. From a gardener's perspective this is just hilarious. Be sure to check out other Dry Bar comedians as well. Plenty of great clean humor, which can be hard to find these days.

• Anyone who's watched Seinfeld will appreciate this... The J. Peterman Company is a real thing! I've been receiving their catalogs in the mail for a while now. Most everything is absurdly expensive, but it's fun just to read the little stories that go with each item. (Remember how Elaine was stumped on a storyline for the Himalayan Walking Boots?)

• How marvelous does this bundt cake look? It's on my to-bake list (along with many, many other desserts. Hehe.)

• Given how wretched the weather has been lately, the "winter blues" might be setting in early this year. Here's some helpful info about seasonal affective disorder.

• All you need to know about setting the table from Veranda magazine.

'Til next time,

Eva
