Another distraction - perfect.
SmartBargains.com is utterly addictive, and supplier of some fab back-to-school boots and bags. Even if there is no school in sight that autumnal feeling brings out the need for new accessories in all of us.....and I joined RueLaLa too....and free shipping (over $75)!!! "A" for effort and accessories!!!!
This might be just the excuse you need to get a new (super clean) dishwasher...
MacGyver Chef blogs at Gizmodo about attempts to cook meals without conventional cooking implements. The latest attempt is cooking salmon in your dishwasher (really). We wouldn’t attempt it in our current appliance, but we could use this as bait to get a new one... plus take 90 days to pay.

Weurbanist is featuring some cool bus art from around the globe. The Partridge Family bus makes us happy, and the cat bus is actually pretty cuddly. We wish we had a bus like this when we went to school.
Kids not quite ready for the bus stop? Check out the hundreds of Back to School deals parked at our website.
What are the dog days of summer without a good old fashioned tire swing?
This Longhorn Steer variety (there is a Moose and a Dragon too!) is constructed entirely out of recycled tires which creates a safe, and durable swing for your kids to enjoy. The seat features a high backrest to ensure extra safety. The tire is well cleaned so clothes will not get ruined and it arrives to you ready to hang and enjoy. Wildlife Creations offers a variety of products made entirely from non-toxic, shock-absorbing recycled tires. The company uses an innovative method of recycled auto and truck tires to sculpt children's swings. Through extensive testing, they have developed one of the safest, strongest, and most enjoyable swings in existence. Not only are these swings durable and fun, but also they are well-received by environmentally concerned consumers. Wildlife Creations swings are all handmade in the U.S.A. and Europe, and can be used indoors and out.

Blame it on Mad Men or Julia-mania but we are utterly charmed as of late with some old school cooking and entertaining....so it was perfect timing when we found the NYT recipe for Brandied Peaches circa 1951.
