Check out the entire house makeover featured on Design Sponge. 2) THE FLAVOR THESAURUS First published in 2010, The Flavor Thesaurus teaches the language of flavor, and…

1) Dog prancing Every year we watch the contestants in the Westminster Kennel Club’s Annual Dog Show and we can’t believe these prancing, manicured showstoppers are descendants of wolves. Exhibit A: Miss P, the sweet, little 15-inch, four-year-old Canadian beagle who won 2015’s Best in Show on Tuesday in Madison Square Garden. Miss P—who loves sleeping…
1) The ranking of all 141 cast members of SNL If you’re on a Valentine’s date this weekend, don’t miss the limited return of our Bangkok Sundae in all our scoop shops. The gorgeous, plated beauty for two will be served with the two Convo Cookies—waffle cone cookies lined with conversation-starting topics such as “Beatles or…
We’re not sure what it is about our scoop shops, but they’ve always been beacons of love. They’ve hosted so many engagement photos and proposals. One even hosted a full-on wedding. And who knows how many first dates have been shared over scoops of Salty Caramel? During Valentine’s weekend we hope to continue the tradition…
This Valentine’s Day, if you’re in the mood to time travel to a white tablecloth restaurant in 1988—and honestly, who isn’t?—I’ve got your Valentine’s Evening meal: Capellini with Cold Smoked Salmon, Capers, and Vodka Cream Sauce. Other than a poet shirt and a pair of Doc Martens, I can’t think of anything that says late ‘80’s more…
1) Chicago Dibs A proposed caption for every pic archived by Chicago Dibs: “Move along, parking space hunter. We got dibs on this shoveled-out space, as you can see from all the creative ways we’ve marked our territory.” 2) Tangerine, the iPhone 5S Sundance film “Yes, you can make a beautiful-looking film on a shoestring budget,” says…
1) This photo from Super Bowl I Check out this old-school grid iron reviver: a smoke, a metal folding chair, and an “explosively tart, yet sugar-free” Fresca. That’s all Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Len Dawson needed to bring himself back to life during the first Super Bowl. (Well, maybe he needed a little more—the Green Bay…
What’s Valentine’s Day without a couple of cocktails? Here are two we love, made with sorbets found in our Sorbet Cocktail Mixers. ROUGE YOUR KNEES (pg 178, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream Desserts) Red Raspberry Sorbet tastes grassy and fresh in this juicy cocktail. Makes 1 drink One 4-ounce chunk (about 1/4 pint) Red Raspberry Sorbet 1/4…
1) This Wayne Thiebaud painting Ever been to Columbus, Ohio, in January? The earth is beige and the sky is brain-gray. To get through it, we gotta think sunny. Wayne Thiebaud’s Watermelon Slices (1961) ought to do it: 2) Old Grey Whistle Test clips Ever seen the best live music showcase there ever was? Block off an hour or…
1) OSU vs. Oregon We can’t decide what we liked more about Monday’s OSU/Oregon championship game, the outcome (sorry, friends in Oregon), Ezekiel Elliott’s crop top (Lantern photo below), or the hilarious End of Days clouds in this video (fun begins at the 15 second mark). 2) Living in San Francisco Means . . .
