Oh man I’ve needed this app for awhile. Thank goodness for friends who share what free + delightful apps they’ve discovered. A ridiculous story: I lost my 1 teaspoon, months ago, and somehow I got it into my head that I should find some beautiful silver or ceramic, or french pottery, or whatever at a flea market and that would replace it. So here I am, months later, (a meticulous measurer, mind you) using my half-teaspoon for everything.

The free and beautiful designed Kitchen Dial app.

Are you all Instagram fans? It’s an app for sharing photos (and using interesting filters) on iPhones. I gave it a try a couple months ago, and didn’t quite catch on, but these days I’m addicted. There’s something very appealing about seeing tiny little snapshots of other’s daily lives. It’s my favorite app to check when I’m waiting for the T.

If you’re on there, you can find me under girlpolish, and I would love to follow you back!

postscript: Of course NYT wrote an article about it yesterday that I missed. Apparently there are 5 million+ users! I only follow 23…

I don’t know when this developed as a usable offering on googlemaps, but I find this enormously helpful. Somehow googly went from barely being able to suggest that I walk through the Common, to telling me which bus to take! I love the idea of taking Boston buses but it would literally take me hours to figure out which one will take me to the wonders of Flour Bakery in the South End like this map does.
