Oh, what a week it's been! We are very much looking forward to the long holiday weekend after a busy couple of weeks fueled by earthquake, hurricane and tropical storm buzz.

Labor Day is always thought of summer's last hurrah as people scramble to cram as many barbeque and salad variations into one weekend as possible. But, after a long week and an equally lengthy and hot summer, we've decided to recommend a few of our favorite mindless, yet no less entertaining, sites for this week's What We've Been Reading, rather than recommending recipes. And hey, maybe these sites will inspire some creativity for another salad variation!

Here at What's Cookin, if we are going to procrastinate, it is generally still food-related (we are just that committed). So I introduce you to our favorite food-related scanning pages. Because scanning random things is fun.
