Most Popular Summer Drink Is Aperol Spritz & Other Stories

I discovered Aperol Spritz a few years ago in Europe. It was impossible to not notice it, from Verona to Munich everywhere I went I kept seeing the same orangy drink at outdoor cafes. Aperol Spritz is indeed the favorite summer drink in Southern Europe. If you’ve been paying attention, then you’ve noticed how the refreshing summer drink is taking over the US this summer. Campari’s most famous cocktail is increasingly becoming a favorite drink here in America as well, and perhaps you may have already had a couple of glasses. There is a reason you’re drinking so much Aperol Spritz.

I spent a day in Marseille last year but didn’t shop around besides purchasing a few preserves. If you are planning a trip to the port city make sure to check out these 5 Places to Shop in Marseille first.

I’m not a vegetarian. I enjoy a burger too much. Having said that I’m always on the lookout for inspiring healthy recipes. I’ve been having my burgers without bread for years and occasionally replace the gluten-free bun with a portobello mushroom instead. When I saw this creative way of making a pizza that looks like a burger I thought it would be interesting to share. Grilled pizza portobellos with lemon-y cashew ricotta. Tell me if that doesn’t sound good?

A Charming Fisherman House In The Ile De Re by Christian Liaigre

A Charming Fisherman cottage in the isle de , Christian Liegre

Simplicity doesn’t mean sterile, and a fisherman house doesn’t always imply unworldly either. Quite often good design is harder to interpret in simple, authentic ways than in grand, opulent ways. As this charming fisherman house shows, good Interior Design embraces the home instead of disguising it. Christian Liaigre took inspiration from the 18th-century architecture in Île de Ré, an Island of the West Coast of France, to decorate his family country home. The rusticity found in the unspoiled island is interpreted in the design details of the house from the understated facade with its simple main door to the original white painted panels throughout inside the home. The main red doors Liaigre saw in his trip to Nantucket inspired the touches of red dotting around the house. “This is a simple home for a fisherman, and that is reflected in the decoration” Christian Liaigre
