I love this Tomato Girl Summer print over at Blind the Sun.

Recently I rewatched some old Disney favorites and I'd forgotten how gorgeous the animation in 101 Dalmatians is! Here's a great article on it.

It's been a few years since I've read it, but I'd like to read Mort(e) by Robert Repino again!

I think I need to order one of these Boone Bigfoots pennants.

Recently when down the rabbit hole, I discovered r/WeWantPlates on reddit and I am living for it. 

Also loving these from KWT Designs - this Seinfeld flash print, and this voracious reader tote.

I stumbled upon this post about 20 rules for making the best salads of your life. I first thought "it's salad, how am I doing that wrong?" but holy - this article has some great tips.

Bolognese is one of my favorites and I really want to try Vegan Richa's lentil version. I say this as if I don't have three different jars of bolognese sauce in my pantry.

While it's not quite gotten hot here, yet, this simple cucumber tartine sounds delicious for when it does!

Check out this article about the impact of the potato and tomato on European demographics and culture. It's a good read!

Everyone knows I'm obsessed with baseball. I umpire and play in two leagues, and in my local sandlot league I will occasionally come in as relief catcher, so this article about the evolution of catcher's equipment was interesting.

I love the promising idea of Eco Lips Plant Pod

I like hearing the origin stories of things and this article about the white sauce you get at Mexican restaurants didn't disappoint.

Since I don't have a sense of smell, my taste is slightly diminished. I just found the Hot Sauce Mall and I'm too excited to order some different types, like this garlic hot sauce.
