Happy Earth Day! What are you doing to celebrate? We're drinking wine (duh)! Read on for some wines we love that honor the earth, plus a few other fun things.
FRIDAY FAVES - 4.22.22
- Last year, we profiled wine from three organic wineries in honor of Earth Day. Check out the post here!
- I know that Is It Cake? (Netflix) sounds like a too-silly-to-consider concept for a reality show. BUT LISTEN. It is SO entertaining! Mikey Day (from SNL) is a hilariously unhinged host and the concept is way more fun than I imagined. Highly recommend.
- For a birthday this weekend, I'm making this extremely classic Confetti Cake by Calire Saffitz. It's going to be delightful with a frothy glass of Domaine des Terres Dorées 'FRV 100' sparkling Gamay.
- This is a thrilling read that I'm gobbling up.
- Can yeast be used to beat back climate change?
Have a sunny day!

- Hey, if you're looking for something to drink with mac and cheese, might I recommend Buil & Giné 'Nosis' Verdejo?
- Speaking of cooking, here's an awesome list of things to cook when you just don't wanna.

- This subscription box is "like weight-training for your thumb, but with plants."
- Bob's Burgers THE MOVIE!
Have a good one!

Welcome to April! And Friday! I hope you've got amazing plans for the weekend, but first, take a look at a few things we loved this week.
FRIDAY FAVES - 4.1.22
- As a child of the 90s, I love seeing the resurgence of chunky hair clips, claws, and whimsical hair accessories. How cute are these puppy-shaped clips?!
- If you're smitten with Starbucks' new iced drink, the Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, try this copycat version at home! If you're lazy like me, skip making the vanilla syrup and instead do this: add a splash of vanilla extract, a teaspoon of malt powder, and an ounce of simple syrup to the hot espresso before shaking it with ice. YUM.
- Oof, eggplant parmesan sounds GOOD right now. Devour it with this Lagrein.

Hey, thanks for stopping by! We're getting ready for snow-free weekend here in Minneapolis. Hurray! And here are a few things we've been thinking about.
FRIDAY FAVES - 3.25.22
- My mind is on sandal weather. What do we think about these bright pink marshmallow slides?!
- Hey, Justin Beaver!
- Wines aged under water? It's a thing!
- This tomato soup over on Wit&Delight looks luscious. Pair it with a wine from our Soup SHOP section!
- I love a terrazzo moment and these bookends are a DELIGHT. Actually, this entire Etsy store is a delight!
Have a lovely day!
