It seems that many of my friends pin fabulous, decadent, drool-inducing delights from a wide variety of sources and I'd venture to say that 1 in 10 comments in response to their pins includes the word "Delish!". It makes me crazy. I blame Pinterest (sorry P - you know I adore you!) for bringing this abomination of the English language to the forefront of my language-related pet peeves (don't get me started on "there", "they're", and "their"!) as the frequency of food posts and subsequent comments outnumbers any other social networking site that I use.

So many things to say - we LOVE the Eastland Hotel in Portland (and will now have to check out the Architectural Salvage on our next visit), I have been craving brownies since reading your post about cooking those large meals, I absolutely adore the maple sugaring tap hat/coat rack (you could make more and sell them on Etsy), and I am not a fan of Rachel Ray in any way, shape, or form. My sister loves her and I had to endure an entire taping of her show AND THEY NEVER AIRED IT. I wasted 6 hours of my life that day. Evan is less of a fan than I am and makes fun of her "EVOO" label.
