On the Right Foot: The Science of Freckles, Sommeliers Try Malört, A Simple Summer Salad & More!

August 1, 2022 by jessica Leave a Comment

Recent snapshots (clockwise from upper left): an afternoon on the water at Dave’s parents’ lake house; a sunset boat ride around the lake; loved these cute umbrellas in Ripon, Wisc. where we went for antiquing and lunch; fell in love with this vintage sink.

A roundup of things I bought and loved last month.

The winners of the 2022 Etsy Design Awards.

Have you tried Malört? I don’t love it, but I also don’t mind it. learn what New York’s top sommeliers had to say about the spirit.

I had low expectations for the Design Time podcast by Domino magazine, but the Christian Siriano episode was fun!

The science of freckles.

I enjoyed this tour of a chic home formerly owned by the host of Blue’s Clues.

Exploring human evolution of lactose tolerance. From the article: “Data that have accumulated over the past two decades suggest that various peoples, not just in Europe, were consuming dairy thousands of years before they had evolved the ability to do so, lactase be damned.” I’m lactose intolerant, so that just sounds … horribly unpleasant.

This simple salad looks delicious.

I just bought this cute pair of cropped jeans.

We tried the Korean-style corn from the latest issue of Bon Appetit. So. Good. It’s basically a spicier version of street corn.

Have a great week!

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
