frank lampard 19 hours ago

Rachael Ray finished shooting the full season of her popular Food Network show “30 Minute Meals” at her Lake Luzerne home in upstate New York before it caught fire Sunday.

Ray, her husband, and their dog were home when the blaze brought out around 7:30 p.m., but were able to escape safely, according to local Albany news station WNYT 13. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

A spokesperson for Food Network confirmed that the 20 new episodes have finished production, and will feature Ray in her now-burned home when they premiere this fall on the Food Network Kitchen app, with new episodes rolling out weekly. They will air on Food Network’s linear cable channel in 2021.

Bank chiefs are revealing another closely-watched metric this earnings season: Work-from-home levels.

With many of the largest European lenders reporting second-quarter results this month, how their workforces adapted to life in a pandemic became a regular topic of conference calls.

“Around 50,000 of 65,000 are working from kitchens, studies and living rooms across the U.K.,” Antonio Horta-Osorio, chief executive officer of Lloyds Banking Group Plc, said Thursday.

It’s a similar picture elsewhere. Credit Suisse Group AG CEO Thomas Gottstein noted that about 80% of his staff worldwide are away from the office. Standard Chartered Plc’s Bill Winters said his U.S. and U.K. offices were at less than 10% capacity. About three-quarters of Barclays Plc staff currently work from home while UBS Group AG had 80% of its worldwide staff at home during the height of the pandemic.

About 335,000 staff at six of Europe’s

Old, New, and a Touch of Glam in Polo Club

A long-overlooked home in Polo Club lucks out when new owners with dialed-in design instincts buy and renovate it.

By Hilary Masell Oswald •  

Sometimes, you see a house and you just know it’s meant to be yours—even when its floorplan, decor, and color palette are pulled directly from the lowest design moments of the 1970s.

OK, the majority of us probably don’t have that kind of laser-focused vision when we’re house-hunting, but Blake and Emily O’Shaughnessy seem to have a sixth sense for design potential. “When we first saw this house, it was a hot mess,” Emily says of her 1950s-era home in Polo Club that hadn’t been updated for nearly five decades. A long driveway led guests to the back of the property, where entering the house “felt like walking into a dungeon,” she says. The outdoor patio was a sea of cracked salmon-pink

The home is a six-bedroom, six-bathroom and three-half-bathroom design that was built in 2009. The linear and contemporary design affords plenty of opportunities for floor-to-ceiling windows and natural lighting. The property is also gated for privacy and safety.

At the front of the home, a large dining room is big enough to host a party of 18 people. The dining table centers around a unique, contemporary light fixture by Cantoni.

With high ceilings throughout, the living rooms are spacious and expansive. Accented by a large floor-to-ceiling window, one of the living spaces has a fireplace. Nearby, there’s a bar with counter seating for entertaining with an ice machine that makes the coveted “Sonic ice.”

How To Turn Your Kitchen Table Into A Home Office This Summer

frank lampard 1 week ago

You are likely working from home indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, your company meetings are virtual and you might not have the most functional or ideal desk setup. Weeks turned into months, and it’s about time you had some inspo on how to turn your kitchen table into a home office.

You’re realizing that your work from home situation might be further extended or even here to stay. Unfortunately, you won’t be going on daily coffee runs with your work bestie anytime soon. Instead, you’ll be posting up with your laptop every morning with a latte you made at home, your adorable pup who’s still incredibly excited that you’re not leaving for work, and whatever else is laying around the kitchen. Your workspace might have crumbs from last night’s dinner and be steps away from your little bedroom.

It’s not exactly the work environment you’re used to. But

‘The Less Waste No Fuss Kitchen’ (Book Review)

frank lampard 1 week ago

Plenty of books can teach you how to cook basic recipes, but there are few that will tell you how to be the kitchen – how to grocery shop, how to ask someone to put ingredients in a reusable container, how to organize your pantry, and what to do when you encounter sad-looking food in the back of the fridge. In fact, I don’t think I’d ever seen a book that talks about these little details until I read Lindsay Miles’ newest book, “The Less Waste No Fuss Kitchen: Simple Steps to Shop, Cook and Eat Sustainably” (Hardie Grant Books, 2020). 

Miles is the Australian founder of Treading My Own Path, a blog and Instagram page that focuses on zero waste and plastic-free living. For several years, I’ve been following her work and admire the consistently thoughtful approach she takes. Her blog posts are in-depth, philosophical, and often enlightening, but
