Saturday Surfing

Finds of the Week:

• Harvard to USDA: Check out the Healthy Eating Plate — Harvard explicitly challenges the USDA’s new plate, and offers their own take on the image.  I love it but it’s obvious nothing will come of it: “dairy is not a must have; cut back on red meat; avoid bacon, cold cuts, and other processed meats, potatoes and french fries don’t count as a vegetable”…the lobbyists would have a heyday.
• Red Wine Chocolate Cake, Smitten Kitchen — How can you not???
• Sweet and Savory – Figs Two Ways, Running With Tweezers —  This is channeling Chris.  Wonder if I can find figs before his birthday?
• This is Why I’ll Never be an Adult, Hyperbole and a Half — if you haven’t seen this blog yet, you are really missing out.  There’s too many funny ones to share, but this one is so true.
• Zulily — Lately I’ve been doing a lot of online shopping on Zulily, a site that has daily deals on baby and kids stuff (and a few things for mamas, too).  Everything is around 50% off, which is awesome when you’re on a budget.  I thought I would share it (by the way, if you decide to join with this link, when you make your first purchase I get $15).
