While we are on a little food roll here, I was recently introduced to Thug Kitchen and am really enjoying not only the great veggie recipes and ideas, but also the written content….which, BTW is [a little bit] NSFW.

Design*Sponge Summer Party
To me, an ideal summer party = brunch on a lazy Sunday morning. I’ve been adding my ideas to a Pinterest Board and I’m hoping to use some of these and invite some guests to drop by, enjoy libations, food and festivities in my urban loft space.
There’s something about brunch where guests can swing by, enjoy some great food & company and then get on with their day. Brunch isn’t a huge commitment and allows everyone to have the fun of a party and also have the rest of Sunday to get other things done.
Something simple for the table, like kraft paper and some strokes of white acrylic paint, along with white plates would allow the food to pop. Or this grouping of plates, cutlery and flowers would be even easier.
I’m thinking something with salads like this spin on eggs benedict or this lovely white bean and radish salad.
I’ve created these tomato pops for a bridal shower and they were a
huge success. And of course, there needs to be a nice summery drink. With splashes of vodka.
And I think something comfy, yet festive to wear. So, stop on by my Design*Sponge Summer Party Pinterest Board for more ideas.
Beijing State of Mind
Here’s one of those You Tube videos that is so very well done and educational. Having lived in Beijing for 15 years during times of humongous changes….Mark Griffith uses this 5 minutes to sum it up ever so eloquently.
Listen carefully to the words….he’s telling an ever so true story.
Survive Bio
Here’s something I found for those who might being trying to survive AP [and college] Biology. Created by a young man who struggled with his textbook and wanted to use other study methods. This site is full of videos, chapter outlines, flashcards, forums and more.
There are even practice tests and he’s developed a system of rewards [for those who register] for using all the study tools….just to get a bit of motivation and satisfaction. Click and earn points, join the Bio community and I’m guessing you’ll be on your way to scoring on 5 in your AP Bio test.
