Sunday Drive: September 14, 2008
No time to ready my witty and enlightening commentary? Here’s a list of the sites I’m talking about today:
VegPeople
Halftime Lessons
Jimmy John’s
Baby Legs
Willow Toys
VegPeople is a vegetarian/vegan online community. I haven’t poked around their forum much yet, but I love their recipe index. This week, Josh and I are going to try the baked zucchini, eggplant, and tomato casserole recipe that’s listed on their site. (Watch for this week’s What’s For Dinner post early tomorrow morning!)
Halftime Lessons is a blog I stumbled upon a few days ago. It’s written by a man named Jay, and I really like his writing style. He’s funny and intelligent and witty. You should check him out. Yes! You!
Jimmy John’s is the best fucking sub shop ever. EVER. They use really fresh ingredients and assemble the “subs so fast you’ll freak.” Josh and I thought we had died and gone to heaven when we discovered a Jimmy John’s only 0.4 miles from our house. In the past three weeks, we’ve eaten there far too many times for me to admit.
I discovered Baby Legs a few months before Jude was born and bought a pair for him before the cold weather hit. Baby Legs are essentially leg warmers for babies (though the official Baby Legs site shows them being worn by babies and adults alike). You know how there’s that inevitable gap between where baby’s pants end and his socks begin when he/she is riding in a carrier (or in a car seat)? Well, Baby Legs cover that gap, keeping baby’s legs nice and warm. Baby Legs also help keep the chill out during cold-weather diaper changes and protect the crawling baby’s knees from hard floors. I hope Jude will tolerate wearing them again this winter. They’re really some of the cutest baby accessories I’ve seen.
Lastly, Willow Toys offers a wide variety of Waldorf-inspired toys for children. They are a home-based business and offer free shipping on all the items they sell. I LOVE Willow Toys’ wooden kitchen sets, and hope that Josh and I can swing getting Jude the Willow Kitchen set for his birthday in May (shhh! Mum’s the word!).
