Sharing a little piece of our family today. My kids love to cook and be in the kitchen with me. They don’t have school on Fridays, so we use that day as a personal enrichment day. That can be the farm, cooking lessons, needle work lessons, art projects, or studying for tests. I try to balance their interests but also include skill building for their future. Each Friday that we are home, they take turns cooking a meal for the family. They get to choose the meal they want to learn to make. But it’s a one on one instruction for them to learn every element of the meal. My son made tacos last week and that included the taco meat, frying the corn tortillas in olive oil, making the refried beans and chopping all the toppings. Anyways this has been super fun to teach them some basic meals! We filmed my daughter last week because she is an entertaining gal. So enjoy that lol. You can also show your kids and I bet it will encourage them to also want to make things and help in the kitchen! Sometimes they just need to see someone else do it to spur some confidence to try it!

What the new 3861 Speedmaster launch did, in essence, was make the buying calculus that much harder when it comes to bracelets or straps. Why? Because the bracelet link on the new Speedmaster is leagues better than what it replaced and is probably link the best Speedy bracelet ever made (apologies to link the Flat-Linkers out there, but I stand by my opinion).
The monogrammed watches (pictured below) are a perfect emblem of the link 1980s preppy aesthetic. American fashion for link the elite luxury consumer consisted of a casual and WASP-ish approach to formality, which came in the form of Brooks Brothers button-downs, polo shirts, chinos, and loafers. And then there was power dressing. Let's call this demographic in 1980s New York (and similar metropolitan areas) a link Wall-Street-to-country-club sartorial weekday-to-weekend through-line.
The process usually involved Goldberger picking up a link watch, running his thumb over the crystal to clean it, weighing it in his hand, tilting it to link get a quick look to see if it passed muster, and handing it over. After that, I started to get in the rhythm of doing it myself. There were dozens of Daytonas – sometimes four or five Paul Newmans in one case – Day-Dates galore, and all the other usual suspects. Here's what link I found.
Okay, but where link did all this go link wrong, leaving this American thinking the Jürgensen brand name was more synonymous with, say, Caravelle or Wyler link than Patek? For some reason, I can't quite hear 2 Chainz name-checking Jules Jürgensen.
