Highlights: Things I Can’t Share in the New Google Reader

Published on November 6, 2011 By Emily. Updated on November 6, 2011

This week, Google changed some of the options in Reader.  Usually I’m a cheerleader for website upgrades; I’m one of the few people who gets really excited about whatever new features Facebook has and I always upgrade to the newest version of sites as soon as I can.  The latest version of Reader, however, is making me a little sad.  It used to be that you could choose friends to share Reader items with and I did so frequently with about a dozen real life and blogger friends.  The recent update eliminated that option and substituted it with the ability to share interesting items through Google+.  I have an account on Google+ but I very rarely check it and I don’t want to share all the posts used to share with the people that I’ve added on Google+.

So, since I can no longer share within Google Reader the way I used to, I’m going to share some of those random posts as this week’s Highlights.

Julie’s most recent “Brain Food” post is all about the correct storage of seeds and nuts.  Very interesting—I was glad to see I was doing it right, mostly.

Halley posted an interesting link regarding how the television show 30 Rock is a rip-off of the Muppets.  It’s very well done.

Some interesting thoughts on holiday cards from The Simple Dollar.  We write a “family newsletter” every year and send it out to our family and friends.  In my mind, this does let readers know that we care about them, but I can certainly see Trent’s point.

If your can opener is as awful as our last one was, check out these videos on Bit Rebels about how to open a can with a spoon.  Hopefully I never need to know this, but it could happen.

Everyday Minimalist’s post about The Slavery Footprint website is very interesting.  Though I spend a lot of time thinking about the origins of my food, I do a poor job of thinking about where everything else in my life comes from.  Like, 44 slaves bad.

Post-Punk Kitchen has a delicious looking recipe for marbled banana bread that looks amazing.  It’s definitely going on my list of recipes to try—soon!

This is one of the coolest music videos I’ve ever seen: Kina Grannis’ music video takes place in front of a backdrop of jellybeans.  The video is below and Mashable has a behind the scenes video as well.

 

Check out this genius tip from Blogging Your Way to help people recognize you at blogging conferences.  Easy, simple and something that probably never would’ve occurred to me.

Finally, you can now play MASH online (via Smart, Pretty & Awkward).  I know you were all very concerned about when that was going to be possible.

    Thanks so much for the shout-out! (Now going to check out what Simple Dollar has to say about holiday cards…) :)

Last week Brian and I finally got around to hiring Last week Brian and I finally got around to hiring a sitter for a rare night out. We went to dinner at @publicna and took advantage of the opportunity with drinks, appetizers and dessert.

It was no surprise that Public was close to full on a Wednesday night - everything was so good.

For the fourth year, I've recapped the best new (to me) recipes I made this year in the hope that they'll give you some new dishes to try. This year's list is short, but delicious. It includes @budgetbytes My Favorite Recipes of 2022
Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
