black friday bouillabaisse

1) So it's Black Friday, or, if you resent the consumerist orgy we call the holiday season like I do, it's Buy Nothing Day. The kid and I spent the day in our pyjamas playing with blocks and painting. Then when that got boring, we got dressed and ran in circles around the backyard. Shopping generally makes me want to bite and maim, and not in the nice way, so why the hell would I spoil an otherwise lovely four-day weekend by spending money I don't have on shit I don't need?

2) And truthfully, I'm still recovering from yesterday, anyway. Read all about it here.

3) Unfortunately, I don't think anything we cooked yesterday has a chance of competing with the culinary genius found here (H/T to Boing Boing).

4) Or hell, I could have just spared myself the day of work and served everyone this instead. And ohmygod they have a holiday pack, too! Squee! (Thanks for the tip to the lovely Ms. Hip.)

5) Finally, if you're feeling queasy from overindulgence yesterday, perhaps you'll find comfort in the fact that you can't possibly feel worse than this woman.

Hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving and can take the time to relax with your loved ones this weekend. There's never really enough time for it, is there?
