I stayed in the company&#8217;s &#8220;stone house,&#8221; which is only a short walk from the flagship DeLallo store (heaven, let me tell you), and though the stone house may <em>sound<\/em> quaint, and even kinda-sorta look it from the outside since it&#8217;s stone-covered and surrounded by woods, inside it&#8217;s the sleekest, chicest, baddest house I could ever have imagined. Truly\u00a0the stuff Pinterest decor inspiration was made of.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I was there to film recipe videos, and we did&#8211;for two full days we cooked and filmed&#8211;but! all the while, I managed to eat endless antipasti, prove that the only nook\u00a0of my memory that remains completely intact\u00a0is the 90s music collection, and make a handful of new friends. What&#8217;s more, I got to spend 5 uninterrupted hours catching up with my friends, Jess, Eddie, cutiepie\u00a0Max, and finally meet Jess&#8217; cousin, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lclikessnacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lacy<\/a>, who I&#8217;ve been friends with on Instagram for years (strange and lovely the connections we make, isn&#8217;t it?). I didn&#8217;t think it&#8217;d be possible to adore her more in person than I already did online, but it was. Just like Jess, she&#8217;s completely irresistible. Funny without trying, warm, and thoughtful\u00a0enough to bring me a whole box of sweets (the key to my heart).<\/p>\n<p>Enough about me, though. <strong>What&#8217;s new with you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Here are the links that caught my eye this week:<\/h3>\n<p>Let <a href=\"http:\/\/fivethirtyeight.com\/features\/searching-for-the-perfect-emoji-for-any-occasion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an algorithm find the perfect emoji for you<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t tell me you knew this and never told me: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/5-things-to-look-for-when-buying-eggplant-at-the-grocery-store-232836\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how to pick a good eggplant at the store<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/qz.com\/653033\/heres-the-best-day-and-time-to-hold-a-meeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The best time to schedule a meeting<\/a> for your productivity?
