Weekend Links

Yay, Weekend!

I have butterflies in my stomach right now, because I am hosting this month's round of wine-tasting at my place...I am going to try and cook something yummy, but I'm a bit nervous about my culinary skills! I cook fairly regularly and I consider myself to be competent in the kitchen, but I've never really cooked for anyone other than my boyfriend and myself. I think I am cooking-shy. Our theme this time is Latin America, so along with the usual cheese/meat/fruit platter, I will attempt making these black-bean-and-banana empanadas and these spicy pumpkin seeds. Wish me luck!

Here are some fantastic links for you to browse at your lazy-weekend-leisure:
