The Husband and I have spent the last week honing our Darth Vadar-with-hay-fever impersonations. As a result, I am behind on pretty much life in general (really good for the OCD).

I think my feedreader has suffered the most though, as I was already behind. One of my feeds has over 700 posts unread. /headdesk

So as much for my own benefit as anything, below are some things of interest I have run across in trying to wade through my reader that I want to keep for revisiting later.

Installment One:

15 Minutes to Fame – Gnocchi for Beginners. And for Braggarts. @ delicious:days – I have been wanting to try my hand at making gnocchi.

Numbers @ Jenn Ski – Adorable preview of one of her future projects.

Pinned by Cuteness @ Making it Lovely – Congrats to Nicole and husband on Baby Eleanor!

Before & After – Amy’s Louisiana home @ Design*Sponge – Absolutely beautiful and a rental. Louisiana represent!

Did you know? video via Larissa Meek – While watching this I paused it roughly every 10 secs to exclaim about a statistic to The Husband.

Vintage modern apartment in Germany @ decor8 – Love, love, love this apartment.

Homemade Pastrami, Part Deux @ Cruftbox- I have never tasted pastrami before, but now I really, really want to.

Darth Vadar recites the alphabet via swissmiss – The ABCs never sounded more imperial.

Bright White Storybook Kitchen @ Inside A Black Apple – Pretty much the cutest kitchen I have ever seen. Evar.

Recipe of the Day: Meat Pies @ NotQuiteJuneCleaver- My Mom and Dad make meat pies. These are so good, they will make you slap your mama. So you might want to consider eating them whilst not in her company.

Wille’s New Desk @ Chez Larsson – I would love to have a couple of desks just like this in our computer room.
