You've made it to Friday, which means it's time to treat yourself to a roundup of links we love. Go ahead, procrastinate a little.
Look up. See that drink? That's your ticket to sending your mind into fits of beachy daydreams. (If you need to leave at any point to escape to pretend Tahiti, or make-believe Thailand, you have our full permission. Just don't forget to come back for these links. They're good ones.)
This weekend, get away whether you leave your kitchen or not. These links will take you to faraway places where there's no work, plenty of perfect margaritas, and you'll never have to answer to anyone about how many chocolate soufflés you ate last night. Safe travels -- maybe we'll see you there.
• Take a vacation in your kitchen. Think mangos, rum, tacos. Go.
• Get around the world in six cups of coffee. (But skip this stop, whatever you do.)
• Bring August in Maine to your kitchen in February, with this chowder. New Orleans more your style? Try bringing the Big Easy home.
• Live vicariously through any and all of these food bloggers.
• Dumplings.
• Bring a little spice to the table. Gradually.
• And, if all else fails, fall back on tequila and limes.
