Four Fun Things

The cutest, weirdest candles.

Just in time for Passover, two Brooklyn-based friends from summer camp thirty years ago are taking matzo to the next level with flavors like Himalayan sea salt, everything bagel seasoning and cinnamon sugar.

Do you guys watch Broad City? I find it totally hilarious. This week, Ilana and Abbi answered readers’ questions on twitter. Their answers were off-the-cuff and great. (I especially loved this one.)

Food52 launched a new app called (Not) Recipes, where food lovers can share favorite meals they make in easy steps. As Jenny says, they’re the type of recipes that “you can exchange in an elevator ride with a friend.”

P.S. More fun things, and stories about strangers.

The mom video!! I have asked the W9, birth certificate, cable password, and social security questions pretty much word-for-word. Also had a “you turned my room into WHAT?!” moment, although that was in person. They really nailed it.

Did you ever see the Passover clip that Jib Jab put together? It’s seriously one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen – I watch it every year at least 10 x! Cracks me up!!! Here’s the link if you want to watch! http://www.jibjab.com/originals/matzah xx yael

I can’t bear to watch the video because I just lost my mother. However, I will say, CALL YOUR MOM NOW because one day you won’t be able to.

So sorry lovely. It gets better! I’ve been without a mom for 18 years now, half my life, and I always marvel that I’ve made it when people look to their moms for the most minor things.

Lol that video! I feel like that was exactly me about 5 years ago. Now that I have two little girls of my own, I find myself calling my mom the same amount, but for baby, parenting and marriage advice! How incredible mothers are :)

Love the idea of the (Not)Recipes app! I’m an avid cook and so often people are asking me for my recipes or how I came up with something and I’m always at a loss for how to say “I just threw a bunch of sh*t together.” LOL!

If you love Broad City (and who doesn’t — it’s the best), you MUST start listening to the podcast ‘2 Dope Queens’ (http://www.wnyc.org/shows/dopequeens/) — it’s the second most popular podcast in the country right now, and it is AMAZING. You will be laughing so hard in public that people will think you’re losing your mind. Plus it stars the incredible Jessica Williams from The Daily Show. Seriously, everyone, listen to this podcast!!

Will have to download that app right away; can’t tell you how often I’m desperate for an idea at the supermarket and need SOMETHING, anything quick and easy to make. Thanks for featuring it and for brightening up yet another day with my daily cup of jo! :)

I LOVE Broad City. It took me a minute to get into it, but I ended up bombing through the whole first season in a week while working on a project. I also especially love that Ilana is wearing a pin designed by a friend of mine in the top photo (on her bag). Very cool that their wardrobe department is supporting cool, small businesses!
