Welcome to Thymeline, a new semi-weekly series where I post updates on my life and goings-on and a list of my favorite links from around the web. I always run into things I’d like to share, so I figure this is the best way to do it!

Like much of the country, yesterday we celebrated Super Bowl Sunday! It was our very first tiny get-together in the new apartment, and my husband and I have been looking forward to it for months. We briefly debated cancelling after my knee injury, but we decided to go through with it. We knew the small handful of people we were having would understand if things weren’t up to my usual standards given the circumstances. With a couple of my tireless friends acting as sous-chefs and contributing extra food, we managed to provide a pretty incredible spread. From our kitchen, we had a whole mess of my Hawaiian Beef Sliders, this Slow Cooker Spinach and Artichoke Dip, a gigantic baked brie stuffed with my homemade chunky fig jam, and my attempt at these Dark and Dreamy Double Fudge Cupcakes (mine were not nearly as pretty, proving my icing skills need serious practice). For drinks, I pulled together a big pitcher of large batch Whiskey Sours (a recipe I hope to have up on the blog soon) and everything needed for Spiced Rum & Cokes.

My friends brought Buffalo chicken wrapped up in pizza dough, caprese salad, wolfberry chocolate-chip cookies, and pepperoni balls. Honestly, we had way too much food for just the seven of us, but that’s pretty normal for our crew. While only about half the group were actual sports fans, we had a good time hanging out and watching the game (even if the the end result wasn’t exactly what we were routing for). And seriously, can you believe Lady Gaga’s half-time show? Utterly blown away!

Now, my favorite things from around the web this past week:

That’s all for now – Cheers!
