Happy Tuesday! This week instead of “Experimenting Away in LA” I will be experimenting in Pittsburgh, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts (ie. college tours!). I am giddy at the prospect of many things about this trip…..small college towns, spending time on the East Coast in general, meeting my friend Jen and her daughter for pizza in New Haven ( apparently pizza in New Haven is a thing!). I have had a crush on the East Coast for as long as I can remember, or at least as far back as when I arrived at Cape Cod Sea Camps the summer before my senior year in college. Perhaps it is the beaches, the history, the adorable beachside towns with one stoplight, the ability to get from one town to the next in a hop skip and a jump. Boston to Maine? No problem. Maine to Portsmouth New Hampshire, one of the most charming cities ever? Also no problem. Or it could be the lobster rolls that keep me coming back as often as possible, that is definitely a very big possibility. Especially lobster rolls eaten from Red's Eats which has the most phenomenal lobster rolls you will ever eat.
At any rate, while I’m gone I thought it would be fun to do a round up this week of some of my favorite links from around the web, focusing on food (as a surprise to no one!) but also some other goodies. Enjoy!
