You've been running behind since Monday, so although it feels like a Thursday, it's actually Friday. Normally, you'd breathe a sigh of relief, but you should probably spend the weekend working. Instead, why not get out and enjoy one last blast of warm (for this time of year) weather? We won't tell your boss.
When the weather turns cool, we start to crave comfort foods, and what could be better than a cone full of crisp, Belgian-style frites with homemade aioli? Duck Fat in Portland fries theirs in — you guessed it — duck fat and serves them with an array of homemade sauces and ketchups. If you're going to indulge, why not go whole hog (or duck, as the case may be)? Image by Russell French courtesy DuckFat.com
