For most people look forward to Fridays because it's the end of the work week. I keep a pretty unconventional work schedule, so that isn't always the case. But I still look forward to Fridays because I get to wake up and read the Cook's Illustrated e-Newsletter. Each week it highlights 3 or 4 recipes from the archives, many of which I probably would never think of or search for if they didn't show up in my inbox each Friday morning. I don't always want to cook each and every one of them, but there's usually at least one that strikes my fancy. Last month this awesome Brussels sprout salad recipe was in the newsletter, and it immediately made the leap to my "Things from Cook's Illustrated to Make" list. (Yes, there is such a list in my life.)
