Summer Vacation (from Cafe Drake)

As much as we love all of our guests here, you can't stay forever. Utilize the warm weather months to travel to a few of our newest favorite sites. But be sure to check back in often, as the Summer is always a season of heavy activity (and frequent updates) here at Cafe D. Happy Trails!

Animals with Casts: The rather rude official page title (and URL) aside, this mini-website addresses the universal cuteness of animals in casts. Get Well Soon wishes from Cafe Drake!

Jugalbandi - Gorgeous photography and amazing and unusual Indian recipes are among the several highlights at this very special food blog. The pervasive sense of wry humor is also much appreciated.

Infused Spirits: If you're not already home-infusing your liquors, well, you should be. And this is the place to begin (or continue . . . so many creative ideas here). A how-to website that is truly inspiring. Don't neglect the many helpful links as well.

Celestial Timeplace: 50 years ago Joyce Carol Oates published her first short story, and this month we were thrilled as always with the release of a new collection, Dear Husband. C.T. is the premier and most comprehensive J. C. Oates site on the web, so head over and prepare to spend awhile. Bonus: lots of free and printable essays/stories/excerpts.


Liz Taylor Tweets: Yes it's true. And you can keep up with Dame Taylor's Twitter activity via the link.
