This is absolutely amazing - real time wind maps of the United States. Constantly changing, it looks like hair blowing in the wind and I am blown away (!!) at the continuity of the movement. You are even able to zoom into areas and see patterns in detail.
Also interesting? Be sure to look at the map of Hurricane Sandy. Crazy.
Magnificent. You can see all, here.
Day 13 of 30 Days of Food: Elderberry Honey Syrup.
This is a fantastic concept & recipe: Elderberry Honey Syrup by Ashley English which is not only great for the immune system (yay!) but would also would be fantastic on yogurt.... or in sparkling water? Tea? I would find so many uses....
For the recipe visit Design Sponge.
On of my most admired artists is Cy Twombly. I fell in love with his work, which spans over 60 years, while I was in art school. Twombly's work is perfect is so many ways and incredibly inspiring. Plus he has a rad name.
More Cy Twombly, here.
A concrete desk set? Really, pretty much amazing-ness.
Concrete is hot and this desk set by Magnus Pettersen is all the rage. You should probably add it to you wish list....
If you want to go solo, the tape dispenser is available by itself, here.
Shop it here.
Day 12 of 30 Days of Food: Orange Pistachio Cookies.
Be sure to use your Google Translate for this one (it's in German!). It's worth it, these Orange Pistachio Cookies (with chai glaze) look fantastic and have an interesting mix of ingredients. Mmm, cookies.

Day 10 of 30 Days of Food: Persimmon Scones.
I know, I know. I've already posted about scones in my 30 Days of Food. I couldn't resisit this recipe, however. Persimmons are in season and sort of an awkward fruit. Not overly sweet with an interesting texture. Persimmons do have an amazing fragrance, however, which I love... so I have a hard time resisting them...!
Persimmons scones are therefor the perfect solution to .. what do i do with a persimmon?!
The recipe is lovely from the fantastic Sprouted Kitchen ... go see!
30 Days of Food, day 9: Carrot Apple Loaf
A loaf is humble and steady. Always yummy, nothing fussy. Every day is a good day for a tasty loaf.....
I think the combination of apple & carrot is particularly fitting, slathered in frosting (I dream!) and perfectly Autumn.
You can grab the recipe at The Best Remedy and get baking!
There are a few thing I have come to appreciate. First? Kitchens large & open enough to have a nice eating area -- dining table -- in the kitchen. I love how the flow of this kitchen is open to the table & not stashed over in the corner in this home.
Second? Interesting lighting. Nordic homes in particular always have the most daring (creative) lighting choices. I love this homes natural charisma & laid back style. The kitchen in particular is fantastic!

Day 8: Bleu Cheese & Bacon Tartine with Honey.
In a nutshell, that's lunch. Or dinner with a green salad, no? I love bleu cheese (especially from local Rogue Creamery!) and bacon (love our local Carlton Farms bacon!) and honey (we consume gallons of Wessels Family Honey .. a raw honey farm located a few miles away from our home!)
Such an amazing combination! And I love this simple recipe from Everything Fab.
