weekend indulgences (interesting links)

In honor of the gorgeous weekend we’re about to have here (and all the chores we’ve recently accomplished), B and I have a fun weekend planned with very few to-do items on the horizon. Hope you all are up to something irresponsible too!

• A good friend of mine is getting married in Portugal this coming spring and these gorgeous photos of the town of Sintra are getting me so pumped to go!
• Apparently clever pandas have been faking pregnancies for snacks (and I can’t say I blame them).
• This recipe recently inspired B and I to pick up a couple lobsters at the store and indulge in grilled lobster – highly recommend.
• And if you’re not into cooking, Washingtonian has a round-up of 8 summer restaurant specials to try. I’ve got my eyes on Iron Gate’s Mediterranean feast.
• In my opinion, restaurant decor makes for some of the best eye candy, so I loved this kitchen renovation inspired by a home-owner’s favorite restaurant.

More eye (and stomach) candy on my twitter, pinterest and tumblr.
