1. How to Be a Good Dinner Party Guest: 41 Rules. I already talked about how much I liked their book, and this blog post by Jenny Rosenstrach is a great list of reminders for anyone who accepts a dinner invitation in someone's house!


2. This just in! After many comments from some of my readers, I've finally created printer-friendly recipes! Under each recipe you can find a "Printer-Friendly" link, which will take you to a new page that will print the recipe only--no pictures or sidebars. Maybe some day I'll go back and add this feature to archived recipes, but at the very least you can take advantage for all recipes going forward!





3. My mom got me these Banana Republic pumps for my birthday and I wore them this past week and was thrilled to discover they are super comfortable! I have a love / hate relationship with most heels. I like how they look but I hate the pain they typically inflict...not a concern with these! They come in black to in case you're looking for a more neutral option!
