Favorites List (8.10.12) Recipe

Isn't Jiro Dreams of Sushi filmed beautifully? He talked about sushi, & I was inspired in life. You know?

How crazy! I clicked on that beach listing in Belize and I just stayed in those cabanas this past April on a family vacation! Caye Caulker is beautiful and Colinda's Cabanas were one of the nicest places to stay. ;) Reasonably priced, too... Absolutely gorgeous beach and breezes...

I just saw Jiro last weekend and found it super inspiring! I even watched the extra features and deleted scenes. I found it so endearing how humble and hard-working Jiro, his sons, the apprentices, and the "masters" are. Their approach to their work is something I strive for. It even inspired me to be neater and more deliberate about my home, since I tend do let clutter pile up. Oh, and I've been making the Muesli with starwberry sauce for the past three weeks, except I use steel-cut oats instead of muesli. I love it! Just the thought of it can get me out of bed in the morning.

I was so happy to see that you were doing your favorites list! I always find things i love! The wind map is fascinating and I loved the preview of the sushi chef movie. Have you ever read "The Last Chinese Chef"? It's fiction - but reminds me of the "Jiro Dreams of Sushi"..

Nice wind map :)

Your lists are both delicious and dangerous. Dangerous for my wallet, that is. Within a minute of reading Jen Altman's list, I had a book in my Amazon cart. :)

I would also try this: http://havecakewilltravel.com/2007/08/12/lemony-french-cake/

I am SOLD on that lemon cake, thanks! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters

Love the wind map! Thanks for the links.

Heidi I always find so many interesting things from your favorite lists. It's not the first time you're signaling that Classe Ouvriere's honey, it looks really amazing. I want to find it so badly as I'm a big consumer of honey. I'll bet there's one reseller here in NYC!

HS: It's worth seeking out Mike - I should have it back on the site toward the end of the month...

I have that lemon cake on my to-bake list. It looks simply scrumptious!

Thank you again, Heidi. Sunny days to you!

I didn't know Charles Phan had a book on the way. Exciting. Thanks for the 'heads up'.

I love when your new favorite lists show up on your blog. You always find such interesting things for us to check out. I never seem to run into any of the interesting items that show up here. Im just curious how you go about finding all of these wonderful things.

HS: Thanks Aaron - there's not much method to the madness - they're just things I come across in my day to day reading, linking, work, etc...

xx + happy weekend, heidi.

i'm so happy to see the smashed cherry and whisky cooler on your favorites list! i love your site and am happy to be included. i can't wait to try out megan's lemon french yogurt cake... cheers!

HS: I know, right? You guys are both continual favorites of mine. Happy weekend. xo

Love your lists and I just clicked open about 10 links :)

I stayed at that boutique hotel in Argentina in 2008. Pictures do not do justice to the beautiful interior and lovely wood throughout. I've always dreamed that I could go back to run it. Thanks for posting!

Love this list! I cannot WAIT to try that Bircher Muesli with Spiced Strawberry Sauce - what a healthy and delicious treat! And I soo want that Classe Ouvriere Honey - just repinned it :)

Just went through your list, simply loved the summer soup very delicious and even the honey looks beautiful wonder where I can get it.Thanks for sharing
