Have a Cozy Weekend. | Cup of Jo


What are you up to this weekend? Toby and Anton are on a trip with Alex, so I’ve been chilling at home and reading books and watching my favorite rom-com. Hope you have a good one, and here are a few fun links from around the web…

Loving the Banana Republic sale, especially this everyday sweater and very cool pants.

The trailer for the English Teacher looks funny.

Oooh, these food notecards.

On Big Salad, we interviewed Kate Berry of Domino fame about her skyscraper garden!!! How gorgeous is the her 16th floor apartment? Plus, how to decorate with stripes, what it’s like to work with Martha Stewart, and the movie that made her cry.

Who wants chocolate cream pie?

The top 10 NYC restaurants, according to hilarious cookbook writer Adam Roberts. “That sandwich you see above may have been one of the best bites of food I’ve ever had. The context: I had just had a colonoscopy across the street! (How Jewish am I?)”

Plus, remember Adam’s house tour?

Italians fight for the right to feast on the beach. “The lunch on the beach ‘is all we have left,’ said Paolo De Tullio, 67, as his family debated whether it would rain on the following day, and whether they would eat baked bucatini.” (NYTimes gift link)

How cool is this English airbnb? That colorful stairwell!

Passive aggressive emails with my baby about bedtime, hahaha.

Whaaaaaat, this amazing tuna melt. (NYTimes gift link)

How to make your phone dumb.

Plus, two reader comments:

Says Julia on 11 reader comments on pets: “I got a puppy two years ago, and one of the unexpected joys he brought is the connection he has created between me and my family. My immigrant Korean mother didn’t have much understanding of my day-to-day life, and I struggled with finding things to talk about with her. But when Dooly came into our lives, we had so many stories to share with each other about him. Now she identifies herself as Dooly’s halmeoni (Korean for ‘grandma’) and keeps asking me if she should babysit.”

Says Julia on the daily ritual I can’t miss: “I always try to squeeze in a daily walk. We call it ‘walk the dog without a dog’ at home since we don’t have a dog. It clears the head, and I feel refreshed and ready for a good night’s sleep.”
