We may have started our summer off with a lot of rain but August has blessed us with one gorgeous weekend after another.  We grilled a couple of racks of lamb on Friday night and enjoyed dining outside with friends.  I hope you had a fun weekend too.

Enjoy these links from around the web for this weeks Worthy Reads.

How Never to Miss a Connecting Flight

How Never to Miss a Connecting FlightI thought it was worthy to share this article from My Domain on How to Never Miss a Connecting Flight.

Style Icon Amal ClooneyHead on over to 1010 Park Place to read my post on Amal Clooney.  I love her style and you will find photos of clothes that both you and I would wear.

Room of the Week

Beautiful Kitchen with stainless hoodThere is so much I love about this kitchen from O’Brien Harris.  The commercial grade stainless stove, oven and hood.   The oversized island.  The gorgeous white marble.  I love the large drawers in the island for storage.  Another great detail is that the island has legs, making it feel like a piece of furniture instead of built-in cabinets.

Recipe of the Week

Chicken MarsalaAs the weather starts to get a little cooler, I am getting interested in cooking in the kitchen instead grilling outside.  This Chicken Marsala from  Saveur Magazine looks delicious.  The key for tender chicken is pounding the cutlets before cooking.  Deglazing the pan with Marsala and stock after cooking the chicken creates a quick, rich sauce.

18 Waterfront Houses From Films

18 Waterfront Houses From Films
Remember this adorable house boat from Sleepless in Seattle?  What’s hard to believe is that the movie was filmed in 1993.  That is 22 years ago!  Town and Country Magazine collected photos of 18 Waterfront Homes from Films.  They will tell you where the movie was filmed and where it was supposed to be in the movie.  

Which was your favorite movie?

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great week.

9 Ways to Make Your Life Better with the Danish Concept of Hygge

9 Ways to Make Your Life Better with the Danish Concept of Hygge

I came across this article 9 Ways to Make Your Life Better with the Danish Concept of Hygge in Town & Country Magazine.  Frankly, I had never heard of the word Hygge.  Have you?

“Pronounced “hoo-ga,” this Danish concept cannot be translated to one single word but encompasses a feeling of cozy contentment and well-being through enjoying the simple things in life.”

So what’s the big deal about Hygge and why am I sharing it?    Well, I found it interesting that “this national obsession with all things cozy is credited as one of the reasons why Denmark is always at the top of the list of the world’s happiest countries, despite their infamously miserable winters.”  

I love the positive spin hygge puts on their life. It’s something we should all work at.

I am so thankful that the ice storm that was predicted to hit Columbus never came.  We had a busy weekend with two nights of having guests for dinner.  Friday night I made my tried and true Rack of Lamb.  It’s so easy to prepare and a great entrée for a work night. Last night I tried a couple of new recipes that I will soon share on the blog.
