What are you doing this weekend? We expect a rainy Easter weekend here in Louisville. I hope to take a good walk with Daisy before it becomes too soaked, enclose my wool sweeteners for summer storage and make a tasty family dinner for when my university son is at home between the end and May at term. (In that note: If you have an easy pasta recipe you love, I’m listening!)
I hope you have something to expect this weekend, and that this collection of interesting readings and favorite things help you relieve you in that weekend mood.
My favorite web findings:
I offer gift links for items whenever possible (you may still need to create an account with the publication); If there is no gift link and is not a subscriber, verify if your library carries the publication or uses a service like the pocket.
Emma Corrin, Jack Lowden starred in Miniseries of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ in Netflix. (The Hollywood Reporter) Another adaptation directs our path, written by Dolly Alderton.
In that note: The alternative final debate of Pride & Prejudice led by director Joe Wright 20 years after the original launch. (Kennel) Did you know that the American version had a different end to the rest of the world? I had no idea!
Are documented Lima cake lovers Here at Bogel’s house. This week I tried This lime cake bar recipe (Sally bake addiction) For the first time and it was fantastic!
People forms human chain, move 9,100 books to the new Michigan bookstore. (Washington Post) This is so moving.
The cult of the Mountain City meteorologist. (Outside) “It is a common denominator: a popular hero and a prophet and the person to blame when your plans go to shit. Everyone who I know has an opinion about their forecasts. And I refer literally to all.”
Antoni Gaudí was a venerated architect. Now it can become a saint. (New York Times Gift Link) “Pope Francis placed Antoni Gaudí on Monday, the Catalan modernist once called” architect of God “for his work in the Holy Family, the world -famous basilica of Barcelona, along the way to holiness.” I had no idea that this was in process. We visited the Holy Family in 2023 and it was impressive.
A friend in knowledge once recommended this Low cost facial mask of the ordinary as a hoax for the much more expensive Babyfacial drunk elephant. I do not use it much in the winter, but it works well (again) at the beginning of spring.
Le Creuset’s color soaked. (New York Times Gift link) “Like Hermès and Chanel, Le Creuset is a brand of Galic Legacy that has flourished in the modern global market when she becomes collectible while she is also still functional. And collectors have turned what was once a niche brand at an almost culminating level, perpetually fascinated by new lines, colors and shapes.”
What I have been reading lately: the new and the remarkable. (Mmd) Even shorter and sweet this month because I am up to my knees in Summer Reading Guide homework.
Deeply human guide for social circles that make you feel alive again. (August) “The lost art of sitting on a friend’s couch, speaking in circles while cooking dinner in the background, is the true soul of social life.”
Why my reading life is a buffet. (Mmd) “The concepts of abundance, possibility and choice have always felt strange and perhaps simply incorrect. When growing, many things decided for me, when and what I ate (without snacks) to the books that allowed me to read (specifically without fiction).” Our Shannan writes about providing abundance in your reading life.
Do you remember public phones? Masters still offers old school devices as an alternative to cell phones. (Associated press) “Although they provide an exit for those who seek to touch the base with the world outside the doors of Augusta National, there are some problems that come with them. As, remembering the phone numbers.”
