In case you missed it, the Smithsonian National Zoo’s Panda Cam is back. The popular webcam of the zoo’s pandas returns as it welcomes Bao Li and Qing Bao. We love the pandas, but they could never overtake our love for the Tennessee Aquarium’s otter cam. (The Washington Post)
Drink
Spirits sales are down by 1.1% — with one exception. Tequila sales are up by 2.9%. As good an excuse as any for National Margarita Day today (and our favorite happy hour spots).
Number
~$80.2 billion. That was DoorDash’s 2024 gross order value, which reminds us that we didn’t pick up groceries today... time for some takeout. (Sherwood News)

Due to the ongoing egg shortage, now is a better time than ever to shop at a local farmers market, where along with tons of other produce and artisanal items, you can get your hands on some farm-fresh eggs.
Main Street Farmers Market | Wednesdays, year-round | 4-5:30 p.m. Features: Fresh goods from sustainable and food-focused local farmers. Parking: Free parking in the accompanying lot.
Ooltewah Farmers Market | Thursdays, year-round | 3-6 p.m. Features: Goods from local farms and food artisans. Parking: Park in front of the nursery — handicapped parking is available next to the market. Bonus: See a map and tips.
Brainerd Farmers Market | Saturdays, year-round | 11 a.m.-12 p.m. Features: Fresh local produce, meat, eggs, bread, local honey, jams and jellies, plants + arts and crafts. Parking: Two parking areas (one accessed from Brainerd Road and the other from Belvoir Avenue) with additional street parking in the surrounding community.
The lipstick that’s more like a phenomenon: Clinique’s Almost Lipstick in Black Honey. The sheer, glossy lipstick is designed to flatter everyone (and it’s only Clinique’s best-selling lipstick shade of all time).
Happy weekend, Nooga. I’m so excited to see one of the final performances of “SIX” at Memorial Auditorium. It will be my first Broadway show in the Scenic City, and I still have my fingers crossed I can snag tickets to “Hamilton” this spring as my second experience.
