Yep..Friday already and it has been a week! That squat pasta is perfect for a Friday night at home in socks and pjs eating on the sofa. Paris by the Book took me awhile to get into it but then a book Ive thought about often since finishing it. Always enjoy your Friday tips!
Would love to try the Fiesta chili and that wonderful salad. Maybe together! Thanks for the link.

I printed two of the recipes, pulled off the two articles onto my desktop to read later that look so interesting, made a note of one of the books for the library, and wished so much I could get that striped shirt as I am so partial to those! Lots of good stuff here!
The rice pudding sounds good.
I just finished Erebus by Michael Palin, telling the story of the Erebus and the Terror ships of the 19th century and their polar journeys.
Loving these suggestions – the comfort food…yum. Those cookie cutters need to get in my cart, and I'm reading about how to feel less overwhelmed by unimportant things. Thanks, friend, for your thoughtful lovely curation of things I care about. 🙂
