THE GEOMETRY OF PASTA!!!

 via The Geometry of Pasta

A combination of two of my favourite things in one title: geometry and pasta!
Mmmmm...

This website's a snippet to what you'll find inside THE book... and within this book you'll find yourself on a journey to learning how to pair pasta shapes with pasta sauces.

Everything's tied nicely together with another one of my favourite things...type!

Go on visit the website. I like it quite a bit :)

Check out* an animated recipe for 'Farfalle with prosciutto and cream' >> here
OR
maybe familiarise yourself with some pasta shapes >> here 
OR
simply admire the website's brilliant black and white design BY here

I know what book's going on my growing wishlist!

*Please do it!

Aujourd'hui

Interjecting the card posts with a new occasional section that you'll be seeing here.
Introducing 'Aujourd'hui' (today).
I guess it's inspired by this blog I found aaaages ago called Shopping Losts and I needed something to actually write about(?) to 'draw' some fonts.

I've taken the idea of (,quote,) turning unloved lists into typographical treats for this new section, but my spin is using my own notes/reminders/songs of the day.

Not entirely happy with my first one but it'll have to do for now-after all, practice makes perfect right?

Let's see what songs and other things you can find today.

Now, did you know that:

The symbol is a ligature of the letters et, Latin for "and".

(and, well, in French too.)

Au cas où j'oublierais...

A super duper quick post.
*Au cas où j'oublierais = In case I forget.
10 minutes ago I was fumbling around Word and italicising, bolding fonts...and then Ii came across Elephant...much nicer in Italics. So today's post is just to remind future me to always italicise Elephant.
That's all.

A nice font and an awesome animal (personally I like those of the African variety-they look more 'elephant-ey to me.)
