I’m reconsidering the “Friday Five” theme since it seems limiting to me. Some weeks I might have more than 5 things to share, and some weeks fewer, so I’m inclined to change it to some kind of Friday week in review going forward. In the meanwhile, here’s this weeks offering:

  • Aldi has fiddle leaf figs for $12. I will definitely be going and getting one for my office.
  • I’m working on keeping the veggie and deli drawers in the fridge organized and I’m thinking about blogging it soon. I shared a picture of my reorganized deli bin on Instagram last week; when you buy as much cheese as I do, you have to keep it neat.
  • We had a couple of uncarved pumpkins from Halloween that have been sitting the garage. I cut holes in them and put them in the backyard for the squirrels but it appears that the deer love them even more. Who knew deer ate pumpkins? I do, now!
  • The Food52 Cookbook Club on Facebook has made February the anniversary month and we can cook from any previous cookbook. I’m kind of overwhelmed with the selection, to be honest, since there are over 70 books to choose from, but I’m going to power through a bunch of them!

Happy Friday and I hope everyone has a great weekend!
