Weekend links, May 29

Thai sparkling water, Erin’s bridal shower.

Busy week, even busier weekend (including hosting and catering a bridal shower for my dear friend and ex-college roommate). A short list for a short week!

Food Republic rates the best airlines for drinking. (Not that we’ll be able to afford flying on any of these, but …)

A super-fascinating look inside the Playboy Mansion kitchen.

Making bad booze better – the title here is a little misleading (doesn’t really make the booze better …), but it’s a good list of infusion ideas.

Alton Brown’s grilling tips – heard this interview on the radio and agree with all of these tips! (Just wish he would stop doing all those silly reality shows …)

On a completely unrelated note, this is very good advice about giving people compliments.
