Have a Delicious Weekend. | Cup of Jo

What are you up to this weekend? Tomorrow I’m throwing a small birthday gathering, so today we’re tidying up the house and putting together a party playlist. (Any crowd-pleasing song recommendations?) Hope you have a good one, and here are a few links from around the web…

I’m planning to cuddle up in this pretty sweatshirt all winter.

Mindy Kaling’s new basketball comedy, Running Point, looks fun.

What are you reading these days? After finishing the novel Long Island, I missed getting to hear all the quiet characters’ thoughts, so now I’m reading The Namesake, which shares beautiful interior monologues, too.

How sweet are these Good Night Moon stamps?

I’ve been using this lotion instead of perfume, and it smells SO GOOD.

Thailand celebrated their new same-sex marriage law with a mass wedding. “I never thought this day would come,” said Aphinun Manasang, who married Amnad Sanghong, his partner of 14 years. (NYT gift link)

My kids love at-home sundae bars, so next up is a baked potato bar. (NYT gift link)

Should we all just dress like Paul Newman?

Brooke Barker’s great conversation starter. (Big Salad)

Finally! Soup you can suck on!

Plus, two reader comments:

Says Dienesa on a funny relationship question: “I’m a children’s book editor. So, when my boyfriend and I first started dating, we went to Barnes & Noble and I headed straight for the children’s section. He followed and watched with tenderness as I walked around opening different books and pointing out my favorites – like Joanna Ho’s Eyes That Kiss in the Corners. Later on, I spotted that picture book in his apartment. He told me he’d bought a copy because it reminded him of me.”

Says Alex on four things: “I’m a deportation defense attorney for children based in New York. A concrete way to help is to serve as a volunteer attorney or interpreter. We especially need Spanish interpreters and people who speak West African languages. You can sign up here.”
