A few of you took notice when I quit doing my Friday Favorites two weeks ago. I had a few reasons behind that decision, one being that I wasn’t really sure what direction I wanted to take that part of Indulgences. After two weeks of thinking, I feel I am ready to emerge with a much more improved Friday Favorites. This time around it is all inclusive, videos, music, photos, links, and whatever else I see online that I think you would all enjoy and benefit from as well. So, I hope you enjoy these links, and if you have any other ideas of things to include in Friday Favorites, I would love to hear them!
♥ Read the great post about making your own terrariums on Modish. They are like a little tiny jungle in a beautiful glass jar. I really want to make one now!!
♥ Last night I went with some friends to see the most incredible local band. They are called Mad Juana, and they are a fabulous eclectic bunch. If you like Gogol Bordello, then this right up your alley. Go check out their MySpace page to listen to some of their music.
♥ Thanks to Design Sponge for posting these incredible octopus chandeliers by Adam Wallacavage. It is all such incredibly eye candy, and now I know I NEED an octopus hanging from my ceiling.
♥ I have had so many recipes fall into my hands that I start making, and then half way through the procedure I realize I should have begun doing another step, or I needed to have the celery already chopped. I know a lot of them can be pretty hard to decipher, but thanks to Apartment Therapy, we can get through the jumble of ingredients and directions a bit easier.
♥ Ever since Absinthe became legal here in the US, I have been seeing Absinthe cupcakes on just about every food blog I read. Here is some great summarized info on it from Cupcake Project. Personally, I can’t wait to try the stuff, and am extremely excited by the idea of baking with it. Have any of you tried the stuff?
I wish tooth commercials were still this pleasant. I hate seeing close ups of bacteria or plaque between teeth!

Anna- Thank you for the sweet comment! I am glad FF are back as well! I am curious about the cupcakes as well, they probably don’t use much absinthe in them…if I ever make them I will definitely get a post up about it!

I tried absinthe before. It made me have to poop. :X It was strong but had a sweet after-taste. But for a shots sake, it wasnt half bad. The emergency pooping part was the hard thing to swallow.
I wish I was kidding…but Im not. lol.

I tried absinthe when I was in Spain a couple of summers ago. I didn’t really like the taste on its own, but it was pretty good when mixed with Squirt. I love cupcakes, so trying something new would be great!
