Mister K and I have two weddings over the next three weekends, that we are both apart of the wedding party. It’s hectic, but so wonderful to see so many we love find love. This image made me think of those first minutes when a newly married couple finally find a moment alone, and get a chance to remove all the pretty wrappings. It was certainly a Mmm moment in my experience.

Last Week’s Links

Last week had 6 yummy posts. The Future Express was a short period piece that is all sorts of delicious. In Marie style, we get dazzled and delighted, and finish with a smile. A reminder that sometimes what you want isn’t what you had first thought.

Next was Cold Come Cry. This 100 word story, also crafted by Marie, is a dark erotic tale. Read at your own risk (but it is darkly delicious).

Then David shared a fantasy, and a Lust that’s too hot to handle.

We were regaled by May, with a humorous tale about a Dolly , that is part advert, part fiction. Sometimes the partners of sex bloggers get all the perks!

Steeled Charmer shared a Blue blast from the past. It may just become my new favorite color.

And Liz took us on another adventure featuring a new Russian Bride. Will Anna also get a happily-ever-after?

You can read all these Mmm inspiring stories here.


Mmm Makers

This spotlight is to highlight those writers, photographers, and models who make us say Mmm. Each month we pull back the curtain on a new Mmm maker, finding out what makes them lick their lips.

We’re taking a break for the summer, but be sure to check out all these great Mmm Makers.

Week 86 Recommended Read

The Joy Of Sex by Alex Comfort

week 86 recommended read

The Joy of Sex was written before I was born, but by the time I was in high school I had already heard of it. It wasn’t until had been an adult for many years that I finally picked up my own copy. It may be outdated for today’s times, but I still think it is a great recommended read and not just for the words, as I’m sure most don’t read them.

The Joy of sex should has plenty of imagery, but it’s done is a tasteful way that feels less like pornography and more like a salacious education. And really, I think that’s the best kind.

And regardless if you love it or hate it, it’ll make a great conversation piece.

It’s too damn hot to cook, so here is an easy recipe, that requires no heating devices. Just throw it in a bowl, mix and go. Healthy, delicious, and simple. I make this as a side dish often, or for a potluck. But it’s just as good as supper.

Broccoli Crunch Salad

quick and easy, and just right for hot summer nights.
Course: dinner, potluck, Salad
Cuisine: American
Keyword: holiday, summer
Servings: 4

Equipment

  • measuring spoons and cup
  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • large and small bowl

Ingredients

Salad

  • 3 cup broccoli florettes bagged is fine!
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese grated
  • 8 strips bacon crumbled (or use the bagged one is you have them)
  • 1/2 cup white onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup raisins fresh grapes are a wonderful substitute
  • 1/2 cup walnuts sunflowers seeds or any other nut work well too!

Dressing

  • 1 cup mayonaisse
  • 4 tbsp apple cider viengar

Instructions

  • Mix salad ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Mix dressing ingredients together is small bowl.

Notes

Sometimes I use apple in place of grape or raisin. 
Pancetta works great in place of bacon, and feta replacing cheddar is always good too.
For a bit of bite, add 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard to the dressing.
