Here we are!  Today marks the beginning of this beautiful three day weekend and I could not be more excited! Memorial Day has always been the real beginning of summer in my mind.  The whole summer solstice thing means nothing to me. 

First things first.  What are you drinking on this fine Friday morning?  I have definitely been playing the iced coffee game strong over the past couple of weeks, but on the rainy mornings this tea is my jam.  I picked up a tin in London and it is the best tea I have ever had.  Truly. 

Last week I received my long-wanted letter board and I LOVE it!  It is hanging over my kitchen sink - the place where I spend most of my time.  #somanydishes

Of course.  Pink pineapples.  Oh millennials. What have you done? 

This book went on my list this week and will probably be joining my overcrowded bookshelves very soon.  Joy convinced me that I needed it when she made these madeleines earlier this week. 

Being a texture freak, I am just not sure how I feel about this edible water bottle thing.

Have you tried the Trader Joe's Honey Butter Potato Chips yet?  If not, you really need to drop everything right now and go buy a bag just for yourself.  I cannot even tell you how much I love them, and I will not even count the number of bags Mr. Pedantic and I have eaten over the past three weeks. 

What are you making for Memorial Day?  I posted a list of a few favorites yesterday if you need some inspiration!  I am absolutely making this pasta salad and I'm also contemplating a pie.

I am probably really late to the party, but I just discovered Teresa Chan's instagram this week and I am in love with her designs.  Pretty sure I need this phone case. 

I hope your weekend is rain-free and full of family, friends, and all the summer food!

Sincerely, 

Pedantic Foodie
