Weekend links.

I was on track to get things done this week (mostly writing related), and then I got the flu.  I had to cancel on a dinner reservation, which I absolutely hate doing.  Oh well, I don't have time to be sick next week -- too much happening!

• I do tend towards the personal in some of my reviews and am a little late to the party, but loved this take from the Slate about why online recipes involve a full personal story before getting to the actual food...
• The New York Times Travel doesn't get it right.
• My latest on Dubai Eye.
• How Instagram is ruining destinations.
• Can't wait to do this in the next city we visit!
• One of the highlights this week was tasting Penfold's Grange.

We celebrated a friend's 40th this weekend at one of my favorite venues for Friday brunch, Fire Lake Grill.  I've been three times and every time they've done a great job.
