irony?
Yesterday, the corp giant cafeteria had those special chicken fingers I like so much, and I was thrilled to find that the chef on duty was not a sneezing, coldy man. In fact, he was a robust, very healthy looking fellow. The chicken was delicious, and I was quite pleased that I didn’t need to worry about catching any new illnesses. Though, the last dodgy chicken adventure actually did not cause me to contract any colds (was my hypothesis about cooking germs off proven?). Last night I found myself in the most violent of sneezing fits and runny nose and burning eyes. Today, still stuffly and sneezy. That teaches me to be smug again.

Despite his warnings for not being able to deliver for Valentine’s Day, my Monkey is one sweet and clever man. I will need to post his card later; it really made me laugh heartily.

bits & bobs
Various other goodies that have caught my eye of late. Hoping they’re useful to some of you somehow:
- Giant Dwarf (via Kraf-o-La). I am so in love with the flower cloche hat.
- Elizabeth McGrath (via Awful Cufflinks). Dazzling site and fun fun goods!
- Girlfactor has come back from hibernation with a lovely new design!
- Lileks.com (via First Born Studio). Great links to great imagery finds.
- My friend Natalie today asked me about my collaborative cookbook project. I had put this project on the proverbial back burner last spring once things started to pick up for The Walrus and hadn’t given nary a thought in recent months to this project till she mentioned it today. (Adult ADD in full force?) I wonder if perhaps this would be worth resurrecting? I have got a handful of submitted recipes already but would love more if any of you out there would like to participate. I was thinking that I’d post the finished book to Cafepress and then you who wanted it could order at cost (i.e., I’d price it so no profit would be turned to me–just to cover the production cost). What do you think? Project site here…
Ok, that’s about all I can muster today. Trying to conserve some energy for breathing through the nostrils if at all possible….Happy hump day!

The book project sounds great. I’m not much of a cook myself so I’m just looking forward to what’s submitted. Thanks for the mention too! Now, I really got to get back into my blogging groove. ;^)
What fun links…I love those hats over at Giant Dwarf! somehow I missed Kraf-o-la’s link to that one…so glad you re-posted. 🙂
Happy hump day!! 🙂 I am also a huge fan of the hats on Giant Dwarf! I am thinking a cream hat and light green flower.. yes? 🙂 Nice spring colours… 🙂
PS- Did you get my email?
Fun links, Giao!And the cookbook collaboration thingy sounds fun…I’ll have to check it out at home (I’m at work…shhhhhhhhh). I think I have a great recipe for Kraft Macaroni and Cheese! Ha! JUST KIDDING. I do cook. I really do. Just ask justjenn……she knows my meal plan! ha!
I love the cookbook idea, and I would definitely buy one!
Oh No! Not the chicken again! GnomeG, you just get in your car at lunchtime, and go to Chik-fil-A, where you can’t see anyone sneezing on the food 🙂
PS Do the have Chik-fil-A up there?
Hope you beat those awful snuffles and sneezes soon! Sending some hot homemade chicken soup thoughts your way!!
Love the cookbook idea… but you know I am not much of a cook at all… Maybe my husband will have something to contribute, though!
Hope you feel better, sweetie!You find the best links- how do you do it? I love that flower hat!
Get well, get well soon.
Take care of YOU! 🙂
Giao, I would love to contribute a recipe for your cookbook. It’s good practice & helps me prepare for my own book.
Get better gnomeG! I know I should have saved your site for last because now my fingers wanna go click!…click! click!….I think I better get my errands done first (arrrghhhh!)
Great links! Thanks for sharing!!
