Great Links

*The Awkward Dollar -- a weekly Q&A column on questions people would rather not ask! (Or, I'd posit, rather not hear a truthful answer.) This week: a girl who doesn't see anything wrong with dating one guy "seriously" and accepting dinner and entertainment from another. After all, she's not serious about Mr. Moneybags! Part of Money.com's Bundle program -- worth stopping by. (One of my guilty pleasures: paging through their 'My Confession' posts.)


*Mark Bittman's food column. Bittman has put out several books that are downright practical, emphasize simple techniques and using fresh food. Shoot, he's refreshing, on his own.

*Simple Dollar's biweekly 'Mailbag' post: wherein readers wrestle with questions that range from practical to downright chuckleheaded. I always learn something, but in addition, gain some sympathy for the boneheaded choices people make -- then try to get themselves out of. Don't miss out on the reader comments -- they're often the best part.

*And something you and I may both regret: hooking up with Seattle Pastry Girl, a blogger who posts the most incredible chocolate-based pastries, cookies and other yummies -- photos and recipes. Her latest post features a ganache-style chocolate cake, and connections with Chocolate with Francois. Oh boy.


Off to the races -- the wind is blowing up...but not a storm. Just our typical spring weather.
