What are you up to this weekend? We\u2019re expecting a rainy Easter weekend here in Louisville. I\u2019m hoping to get in some good walks with Daisy before it gets too soggy, box up my wool sweaters for summer storage, and make a tasty family dinner for when my college kid is home between finals and May term. (On that note: if you have any easy pasta recipes you love, I\u2019m listening!) <\/p>\n
I hope you have something to look forward to this weekend, and that this collection of interesting reads and favorite things helps ease you into that weekend frame of mind. <\/p>\n
I offer gift links for articles whenever possible (you may still need to create an account with the publication); if there\u2019s no gift link and you\u2019re not a subscriber, check to see if your library carries the publication or use a service like Pocket.<\/em><\/p>\n Emma Corrin, Jack Lowden to Star in \u2018Pride and Prejudice\u2019 Miniseries at Netflix.<\/a><\/strong> (The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>) Another adaptation is headed our way, written by Dolly Alderton.<\/p>\n On that note: Pride & Prejudice\u2019s Alternate Ending Debate Addressed By Director Joe Wright 20 Years After Original Release<\/a><\/strong>.

I had no idea!<\/p>\n We are documented<\/a><\/strong> key lime pie lovers<\/a><\/strong> here at the Bogel household. This week I tried this key lime pie bar recipe<\/a><\/strong> (Sally\u2019s Baking Addiction<\/em>) for the first time and it was fantastic! <\/p>\n People form human chain, move 9,100 books to new Michigan bookstore.<\/a><\/strong> (Washington Post) This is so heartwarming. <\/p>\n The Cult of the Mountain-Town Weatherman<\/a><\/strong>. (Outside<\/em>) \u201cHe is a common denominator: a folk hero and a prophet and the person to blame when your plans go to shit. Everyone I know has an opinion about his forecasts. And I mean literally everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n Antoni Gaud\u00ed Was a Venerated Architect. Now He May Become a Saint<\/a><\/strong>. (New York Times<\/em> gift link) \u201cPope Francis on Monday placed Antoni Gaud\u00ed, the Catalan modernist once called \u201cGod\u2019s architect\u201d for his work on the Sagrada Familia, Barcelona\u2019s world-famous basilica, on the path to sainthood.\u201d I had no idea this was in the works. We visited the Sagrada Familia in 2023 and it was breathtaking. <\/p>\n An in-the-know friend once recommended this inexpensive face mask from The Ordinary<\/a><\/strong> as a dupe for the much pricier Drunk Elephant Babyfacial<\/a><\/strong>. I don\u2019t use it much in the winter but it\u2019s working well for me (again) in early spring. <\/p>\n The Color-Drenched Cult of Le Creuset<\/a>.<\/strong> (New York Times<\/em> gift link) \u201cLike Herm\u00e8s and Chanel,\u00a0Le Creuset\u00a0is a Gallic legacy brand that has flourished in the modern global marketplace by becoming collectible while also remaining functional. And collectors have turned what was once a niche brand into a near-cult, perpetually entranced by new lines, colors and shapes.\u201d <\/p>\n What I\u2019ve been reading lately: the new and the notable.<\/a><\/strong> (MMD<\/em>) Even shorter and sweeter this month because I am knee-deep in\u00a0Summer Reading Guide<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0prep.<\/p>\n Deeply Human Guide to Social Circles That Make You Feel Alive Again.<\/a><\/strong> (The Augustate<\/em>) \u201cThe lost art of sitting on a friend\u2019s couch, talking in circles while cooking dinner in the background, is the true soul of social life.\u201d<\/p>\n Why my reading life is a buffet<\/a><\/strong>. (MMD<\/em>) \u201cThe concepts of abundance, possibility, and choice have always felt foreign to me and maybe just plain wrong. Growing up, many things were decided for me, from when and what I ate (no snacking) to the books I was allowed to read (specifically no fiction).\u201d Our very own Shannan writes about bringing abundance into her reading life. <\/p>\n Remember public phones?
