Savory Sight: Strawberry Salsa Fresca Over Blackened Mahi Mahi

Yum Community — Thu, 10 May 2012 03:41:18 PDT

We love CheesePlease's creative use of seasonal fruit with this mahi-mahi recipe. This dish looks and sounds like it was designed to be eaten outside on a warm night, doesn't it?

Strawberries are in season!! Fresh local strawberries and kiwi are combined with a little bit of shallot, cilantro and lime juice. A jalapeno pepper is added to up the heat factor. This salsa fresca is served over blackened mahi-mahi.

Find the simple recipe on her blog. Then share your own fresh, flavorful meals in our Savory Sights community group.

William and Kate Mark Their Anniversary at a Friend's Wedding

Allie Merriam — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:57:00 PDT

Prince William and Kate Middleton attended a friend's wedding at the St. Andrew's Church in Wingfield, England, on Saturday. Her childhood pal Hannah Gillingham tied the knot with Robert Carter. Kate's sister, a Project D-clad Pippa Middleton, was also along for the ceremony, as was Richard Branson's daughter Holly. Kate wore an Erdem dress that she also sported during her and William's tour of Canada last Summer, but this time, she accessorized with an Alexander McQueen belt. Her clutch was from UK designer Anya Hindmarch.

William and Kate marked their own wedding, which was one year ago yesterday, privately. Despite a busy last week that included numerous public events and a dressed-up outing to the premiere of African Cats, William and Kate spent their anniversary together, just the two of them, at their Wales residence. According to reports, Kate wanted to prepare a meal of fish cooked in parchment. The dish was symbolic since a first wedding anniversary is symbolized by paper. William is expected to resume his work with the Royal Air Force in Wales today.

5 Ways to Take the Sting Out of Monday

SavvySugar — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 00:15:14 PDT

Coming back to work after a fun, restful weekend is never easy, but it doesn't have to be quite so hard. Check out these five ways to turn your least favorite day of the week into one worth looking forward to.

Set manageable goals: Rather than staring at your massive to-do list and feeling overwhelmed, set lots of little goals for yourself throughout the day. It’ll make it easier to stay focused and on track, and you can give yourself kudos each time you reach a goal.
Reward yourself: Each time you do reach one of your set goals for the day, give yourself a reward! It can be as small as a walk to the kitchen to raid the candy dish, or as big as a 30-minute break to enjoy some fro yo in the sun. Providing your own incentives throughout the day can be a strong defense against a case of the Mondays.

Three more tips for a better Monday after the jump!

After 20 years of running San Francisco's Zinc Details, owner Vas Kiniris has watched modernism evolve.

You may have caught Vas's tips yesterday for his favorite ways to shop and style like a modernist. Now, we're tapping his shoulder to find out which designers he thinks will shape the future of modernism.

"Mike & Maaike is an amazing industrial design studio led by an American husband and Dutch wife team based in San Francisco."

Keep reading to see which other modernist designers are on Vas's radar!
