A Feast of Words
Author Lawrence Norfolk spent three years researching 17th century recipes for John Saturnall's Feast, his novel set in England in the time of Charles I, about an orphan who becomes the greatest cook of his age. Here he lists and briefly describes ten of the 17th century food books he read as background, which all sound utterly fascinating. A Smoothening Quiddany of Quinces, anyone?

The 51 Most Powerful Pinners in the World

The Cult of Disappearing Design
Interesting NYT article about the trend towards interiors that are seamless — an ethos that aims to secrete away anything that needs a button, a cord or a subwoofer to work. Intriguing, but I do find the resulting spaces rather impersonal.

Bringing the Hotel Home
From More Intelligent Life: "If hotels used to mimic wealthy homes, now the ideal home looks like a hotel. Matthew Sweet reports—and starts by getting a hotelier round to inspect his place."

World's First Colour Films Discovered in British Museum
Amazing glimpse at history — a colour photo dating from 1901 or 1902, taken by the cinematographer and inventor Edward Raymond Turner (1873-1903). The photo is of Turner's three children in the garden — extraordinary to see such a natural photo of them, all dressed in Edwardian clothing.

Acorn Squash and Sweet Potato Soup
There's something about the first cooler days of early autumn that makes me crave home made soups — they're so comforting and warm. This recipe from Tartelette would be perfect after being outside in the crisp air.

A Real-Life Robinson Crusoe
Short BBC interview with 86-year-old Brendon Grimshaw, who was born in Yorkshire but has lived alone for many years on the tiny island of Moyenne, located in the Seychelles in the middle of the Indian Ocean. The story of how he bought the island in 1962 for £8000 and then devoted his life to converting an exposed and sandy island into a lush paradise — and refuge for giant turtles — is utterly inspiring.


Bandwiches
If bands were sandwiches, this is what they'd be made from. My fave is the John Cage: "Silence, warmth, indirect sunlight, the memory of lettuce, the idea of bread."

Daniel J. Wakin in the New York Times: "Opera, of all the art forms, is singularly associated with food, whether because of the appetites of well-girthed singers or the sensual pleasures celebrated in its rich ragout of music, emotion and stagecraft."

Leonardo's To-Do List
In his soon to be published book on Leonardo da Vinci, historian Toby Lester relates how Leonardo used to travel with a small notebook hanging from his belt, and would jot down a note or do a quick sketch whenever something caught his eye. Buried in one of those notebooks is a to-do list of things Leonardo planned to do one week, or month, in the early 1490's. I totally feel like a slacker after reading this. Via Andrew (thanks!)

Check out these stunning landscape photos from the Infra series by Richard Mosse, taken on a series of trips to the Congo. From the gallery description: "Richard Mosse brings to this subject the use of a discontinued military surveillance technology, a type of color infrared film called Kodak Aerochrome. Originally developed for camouflage detection, this aerial reconnaissance film registers an invisible spectrum of infrared light, rendering the green landscape in vivid hues of lavender, crimson, and hot pink." Beautiful and eerie at the same time. See the show until December 22 2011 at the Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City. Via BLDGBLOG.

A Town Creates Its Own Department Store
When the residents of Saranac Lake, a picturesque town in the Adirondacks, lost their local department store in 2002, getting basics like underwear or bed linens meant a drive to Plattsburgh, 50 miles away. But they also knew they didn't want a big box store moving in either — so they they decided to raise capital to open their own department store. Amazing story.
