‘A few minutes to refocus’
souper cool
It’s going to get cold again Saturday, then winter will soon start to slip away here in the South. Before the warm weather returns, we’re thinking about investing in a soup tureen. In our 27 years of married life, Mike and I have never had one — heck, growing up I didn’t even know what a tureen was (let’s just say Joan Brooks did not do homemade soups). Anyway, we’re now thinking we gotta have one, and then it can be an heirloom for our kids. Do you have a tureen? Or a terrine? Here are some we like.
Classic White by Pottery Barn.
Oooooh…love this in Cassis by Le Creuset.
Well, of course. (Etsy)
If you have a big budget, an 1830s Canton Soup Tureen on eBay.
If you have a HUGE budget, then possibly one from the 1880s (Augustin Lahure).
K, back to reality. Modern and fresh from The Kitchn.
Italian Majolica from Biordi Art Imports in San Francisco.
Fresh n’ lovely, found through The Find.
a journey, a purpose and some ‘dognition’

Three books your dog would like you to read and soon:
A Dog’s Journey and A Dog’s Purpose — these are now on order at our house. By happy accident I met author W. Bruce Cameron in Houston this month at a conference and naturally we chatted about all things dog — Well…mainly I prattled on about our own canine clan and then somehow managed to detour into a long sidebar about raising teenage daughters (he’s also the man behind 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter). Bruce was just so sweet and polite, I feel compelled to try and return the favor by giving his books and Facebook page a nice plug.
Coincidentally, Mike just pointed out an article about The Genius of Dogs. Pretty sure this book caught his attention due to that sweet Great Dane face on the cover, but we just ordered it as a surprise for his birthday next month anyway — Shhhhhhhh. Check out the author’s Q&A with Craig Wilson in USA Today.
‘strategic renewal’
Work less, get more done. Sound crazy? Author and CEO Tony Schwartz of The Energy Project doesn’t think so. Read his opinion piece from today’s NYT.
“I learned that it’s not how long, but how well, you renew that matters most in terms of performance. Even renewal requires practice. The more rapidly and deeply I learned to quiet my mind and relax my body, the more restored I felt afterward.” – Tony Schwartz
