Make these for Easter!

It’s time for a Frivolous Friday post!  And because it’s almost that time of year, I’m sharing a fun recipe I found for homemade Easter Creme Eggs!  Yes, I know you’re just as egg-cited as I am!

There is a beautiful food blog called Not Without Salt, and the brilliant Ashley there has devised a “healthier” version of the Easter Creme Egg that you can make at home. Maybe a little trickier than popping to the store and picking up a single egg (or a bag full of the mini version, please!), but your friends and family will be amazed that you made these yourself!

You can read Ashley’s full recipe right here on the Food 52 blog. There are gorgeous photos and the instructions look simple enough to follow. I might even whip up a batch of these this weekend…you know, just to try in case they don’t turn out for Easter.  

Obsessed with Facebook

 

 

Are you obsessed? Our library Facebook page is a lot of fun to keep going, and yes, we check it quite a bit. For our Firvolous Friday post, a few interesting facts about Facebook and our obsession with the social media site.

Frivolous Friday and Lady Gaga

Students and faculty from the University of Washington’s Information School did a fun video parody of Lady Gaga, librarian style! Happy Weekend!

Can you spell it?

For our Frivolous Friday post, we’ll visit a little topic that holds a special place in my heart…music!  And in the spirit of spelling bees, we’re going to play a little game  where you must identify the musical instrument that is spelled incorrectly. (No cheating….just take your time and see if you can figure out which one is spelled wrong.)

Extremely time consuming and incredibly small

For our Frivolous Friday post this week, artist Anja Markiewicz creates the teeniest little pieces of origami art that I’ve ever seen. And she doesn’t simplify them just because they’re extra small. They look just like the full size versions, only much more delicate and unique!

My favourite, by far, is the mouse. Drop by this website to view more of these amazing paper creations!
