How is it already the last month of summer?!
Grub
- Restaurants
- I love this article on the overlap between Southern and Indian ingredients. Â While the flavors are completely different, this may explain why I like Indian food so much.
- It’s always a big deal when a city wins the opportunity to host the Olympics, and it turns out LA’s restaurant scene may be seriously impacted now that they’re set to host the games in 2028.
- Cooking
- Drunk Jelly is making wine-infused [non-alcoholic] jelly that I’m sure would be great on a sandwich with sunbutter or a perfect addition to a cheese board.
- I love so many of these 6-ingredient recipes. Â I’ve marked at least 3 that I intend to make soon.
Food for Thought
- I’m sure you’ve seen some of those gorgeous Penguin Classic hardcovers that have been designed to stand on their own as decor. Â The Rifle Paper Co. designed Puffin ones are another popular choice. Â In case you’re looking for more books-as-design elements, I love this roundup of all the display-able collections you could ever want.
- With adaptations that include Clueless and Bridget Jones’ Diary, people tend to forget that Jane Austen didn’t actually write chick-lit.  Also, this article made me want to take a tour through Austen’s work and may have to invest in a collection of her novels from the roundup in the previous bullet.
Bits & Bites
- Doesn’t this Palm Springs wedding look like a blast?!
- TRL is coming back!!! Â My pre-teen self is so excited for the new generation of kids who get to experience the thrill of rushing home after school to see which videos are topping the charts. Â Love that the hosts are relative unknowns – just like back in the day. Â One of the coolest parts about the show was that it launched careers. Â Here’s hoping this new version won’t cut off the videos right before the end.
- As an East Coaster, I’ve never been to Fred Segal, but I love the collection they just released with CB2. Â It looks so 60s LA! Â It’s not totally my personal aesthetic, but I definitely appreciate what they’re doing, and there are definitely a few pieces I could incorporate into my home.
