With Hotels With Great Taste, we’re pulling back the curtain for a peek at the “special sauce” that hotels use to create memorable, meaningful culinary experiences for their guests.During my stay at Sirikoi Lodge, I opened the front door of my cottage one afternoon to find Nditu, the orphaned female giraffe who calls Sirikoi and its surrounding area her home, munching on some trees just steps away.While it feels somewhat cliché to refer to a hotel as magical, I can think of no better word to describe the experience of staying at this Kenyan lodge. On a typical morning, you…

What are you up to this weekend? Anton and I are visiting my brother, aunts, and cousins, so Cup of Jo will be closed next week, returning on Friday, April 10th. (Our other editors will be either traveling as well or working ahead on posts.) Have a good weekend — Chag Sameach and Happy Easter to those who celebrate — and here are a few links from around the web… Eight things I wish I’d known before getting divorced.

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. Spring makes you want to become someone slightly different. Someone who wakes up early, wears linen, goes to the farmer’s market, and casually arranges tulips like it’s second nature. And honestly, I love that version of things. My Pinterest is proof that I’ve been waiting for this season all year—pastels filling my saved boards, spaces that somehow always have the perfect light, and every kind of flower that blooms between March and May. I’m the person who will happily spend a weekend…

Wondering where the best places to shop for secondhand clothes online are? Here are ten UK sites that make online shopping for preloved clothes easy! A common theme in any discussion about ethical shopping and sustainable fashion is that it’s far too expensive for the average person to shop ethically. I won’t lie, ethical clothing does tend to be more expensive than its fast-fashion, mass-produced counterparts. There is simply no getting around the fact that if you want to buy ethically produced and fairly made new clothing that respects the rights of the garment workers, then you do need to spend…

The Kentucky hot brown—an open-face sandwich of toasted bread, roast turkey, crisp bacon, and tomato, blanketed in a velvety cheese sauce—was first served in the 1920s at Louisville’s Brown Hotel. Created by chef Fred Schmidt, it was intended to be a late-night bite for dancing guests: something rich, savory, and just indulgent enough to keep the party going. Nearly a century later, the sandwich remains a signature of Kentucky cooking and a staple on Derby Day menus.Classic Kentucky hot brown recipes lean on a Parmesan-based mornay sauce, while more recent versions (including this one) add cheddar for a richer, meltier…

As a parent to two young children, I am a target client for universities everywhere. So far, I have saved over $800,000 in two 529 plans to pay for universities in 9 to 12 years. I know we need to pay full freight because we are nobodies, but make above the low income limit to receive free or heavily subsidized tuition. As a potential customer spending this much money, I logically do extensive research. If the benefits don’t outweigh the costs, I won’t buy the product. We do this analysis with cars, electronics, homes, vacations, and stocks. College should be…

At my first office job out of college, we had a bar cart in the team’s common room. On Fridays, around 4 p.m., my boss would pop open a bottle of wine or bring out the whiskey. My coworkers and I’d drink while wrapping up our last tasks and responding to emails, and then some of us would go out for a “team happy hour” at a nearby restaurant. We’d order fun cocktails and share plates of cheap appetizers, our conversation growing louder and more animated as the drinks kept flowing. By the time I Ubered home to my husband…

Her firsthand experience shows how aggressive and deceptive some unlicensed taxi operators can be, and it’s a reminder to always follow official procedures when taking a taxi. Cohen wrote: “WARNING: Taxi at CDG in Paris: Follow the circles on the floor to TAXI. You will try to go out the door following the right path towards the taxi and somebody will try to head you…
