My next stop is at an extremely popular restaurant that has one of the best outdoor patios in the suburbs. It also has a hamburger that people are saying tastes just like an “In-N-Out” burger. The restaurant I am talking about is Fuller House in Hinsdale.

Start your weekend off right with a round-up of Book Riot’s most popular pieces from the week. Neil Gaiman Accused of Sexual Assault (Again) In an exclusive four-part podcast series last month, Tortoise Media reported that two women, who were 20 and 23 at the time of the alleged events, had accused Neil Gaiman of sexual assault. The story was picked up in a few places but didn’t go wide in the way you’d expect when a famous writer with a huge and devoted fandom is the subject of a #metoo report. Now, two more women have come forward with similar allegations, and one of them has receipts in the form of a $275,000 settlement that was accompanied by an NDA. Gaiman has denied all allegations.

(MA) Meet Love "Lovie" Island, an adorable Chihuahua and Rat Terrier mix pup who is ready to fill your life to the brim with, you guessed it, love!

Luckily, Great Dog Rescue New England scooped Lovie up and placed her with a foster.

Addison, IL

Living in the area of Wood Dale, I am always on the hunt to try somewhere local and support them. I remember trying Elio Pizza several years ago and I was not really impressed with the food. However, my biggest complaint was the atmosphere created by the employees. My first interaction felt very cliquey, with preferential treatment given to people they knew instead of new customers.

Here's another recipe for fudge that's very easy to make. You can double it, or quadruple it, for more servings. 4 tablespoons cocoa or cacao powder (I like 2 tablespoons of each)

3-Ingredient Fudge

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie who is looking for her forever home. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Cats of Kansas City

Another week, another set of great cats who right now, at this very minute are hanging out at a Kansas City shelter (or a foster home), waiting for you to discover them. First up is Rain who is currently at Great Plains SPCA sound asleep, despite the barking dogs in the distance. She's a youngster, just one year old and you'll find that she's shy at first. Give her a little patience and some time to acclimate to her new environment, and you'll find that you'd be hard pressed to finer a sweeter, or cuter, cat.
