My weekend was incredibly busy, what with the pre-freshies moving in to start their summer program, and me having to not only help them move, but move myself as well. I am now the proud (I say that rather dubiously) resident of a dorm room. Again. Oh well, I'll be back in the apartment in a few weeks, and hopefully (keep your fingers crossed for me) into a house with L for the school year.
So today, since I haven't had a chance to cook, and I really should be getting to sleep since I'm supposed to be up and perky for my TA job at 9 (gah, why would anyone schedule anything that early in the summer?), tonight I'm going to go with a quick link post, with some of my favorite food sites, and places where I get inspiration.
First off is the Holy Grail of food inspiration sites:
Food Gawker
The food is all user submitted and absolutely awesome. It does get overrun with Tuesdays with Dorie submissions, and goes a little crazy every month with the Daring Baker's Challenge, but it has amazing food, and great tips and tricks for anyone cooking with just about anything.
*Note- yes, I have been through every page of this website, and I have clicked on the majority of the links and favorite-d them on Stumble Upon. In a completely unrelated note, my main tag for interests on Stumble is Food, followed closely by Cooking and Photography.
Next, my personal favorite and one of my friends (in the Facebook sense of the word):
David Lebovitz
His tagline is "An American living in Paris", and he does it wonderfully. He's funny, smart, and a great cook. Actually, if he wasn't multiple years older than me and living in Paris with his boyfriend, I'd totally date him just for the cooking advice.
Something that I hope everyone has discovered:
Serious Eats
A blogging community, Serious Eats has been bringing foodies together for years now. I don't have a whole lot more to say except that it is AWESOME and you should check it out right now. If you like Star Wars/read Least I Could Do, this should work : Go now, you will.
Those are my three "check them everyday" sites, but I also read lots of others on a nearly wweekly basis, which I will eventually post in the links section.
Eventually.
In the mean time, by which I mean "while I'm stuck in the dorm with only a microwave and a steamer to cook with", you should go check these sites out. I mean it when I say that I love them.

OMG! I am loving Food Gawker - love it! This is exactly what my boring work day in which I was trying to desperately to distract myself needed.
