If someone asked you to describe your favorite room at home, how would you answer? For me, it is without a doubt the dining room. Never mind that my 6-year-old daughter has colonized it as her personal crafting space, oblivious to my gripes about glitter on the Oriental carpet. When we’re not making bead bracelets and paper constructions on the dining table, we’re making memories with our nearest and dearest. In my opinion, entertaining is one of the joys of home. There’s no warmth like that of sharing good food, great conversation, and a few laughs with family and friends. For this month’s home-and-design-themed issue, we posed the same question to a handful of local tastemakers—and were delighted, and in some cases amused, with the replies. Mimi McMakin, whose family…

Named after their industrial-strength shells, stone crabs have become a seasonal, not-to-be-missed staple in southern coastal communities. Between October and mid-May, Floridians consume mountains of this compact crustacean, enamored by the sweet treasure trapped within their black-tipped claws (the crab’s only edible protrusion). Once caught, crab claws should be boiled immediately and then served (or frozen); otherwise, the meat attaches to the inner shell, making it difficult to remove. Know when a stone crab is past its due date? “You can determine its freshness by the way the shell separates from the meat,” says Anthony Sicignano, executive chef at The Breakers in Palm Beach. “It should fall away easily, without sticking.” Turn the page for a quick primer about the Sunshine State’s most edible symbol.

GOOD AS GOLD Designers Tiffany Bowman and Lindsey Snyder of Marc-Michaels Interior Design embraced mid-century modern style to create this impactful dining room. The adjacent kitchen exudes a more contemporary look with slab-style cabinetry and high-gloss grayed veneer finishes, but the dining room is all about an eclectic mix of current and mid-century modern pieces. A nouveau interpretation of the Klismos chair in polished chrome complements the living edge table and the industrial light fixture from Restoration Hardware. All of these neutral pieces pop against the colorful artwork, resulting in a harmonious ode to the mid-century modern aesthetic.

Today’s fitness wear is what I like to call “life wear.” It has become the wardrobe option of choice for comfort, ease, and style. Women come…

Amid Palm Beach’s sprawling Mediterranean estates, an assemblage of smaller historic homes populate the midtown area, filling the coveted “Sea” streets: Seabreeze, Seaspray, and Seaview avenues. It is here that retired financier and philanthropist Tom Quick found the perfect cottage to serve as a charming guesthouse for his outof-town visitors. The yellow-shingled home, on Seabreeze Avenue, presents an appealing contrast in style and size to Quick’s British Colonial estate a few blocks away. Whereas his main home is elegant and formal—the perfect platform for large-scale entertaining—this new residence has become a charming little sister of sorts. Although the flavor of the “Sea” streets has been changing, as some of the older cottages are being replaced with larger homes, this was not the direction Quick wanted to take for renovating his…

Sushi fans know that sensation all too well—the indescribable tingle that surges through your taste buds and nose hairs when you savor wasabi. Well, the sense organ associated with that feeling might have farreaching implications for the treatment of pain. As outlined in a paper published in the journal Nature, the wasabi receptor, or TRPA1, is a crucial molecule in the pain pathway. These receptors send distress signals to the brain when they encounter wasabi and other sharp chemical odors like tear gas and air pollution caused by fires. Researchers recently recreated the receptor’s structure—a vital advancement that allows pharmaceutical companies to better understand its mechanics. These drugs could result in fewer side effects, such as addiction, and stop chronic itch, as the wasabi molecule activates itch sensations. (nature.com)…

Art SPEAKS The work of Japanese-American artist Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani can be described in three words: indomitable, pragmatic, and playful. Born in Sacramento, California, and raised in Hiroshima, Japan, Mirikitani returned to the United States at 18 with the dream of becoming an artist, but was forced to stay at an internment center during World War II. Throughout this and other tumultuous life events, Mirikitani found solace in art. Beginning October 6, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach showcases the late artist’s work and spirit in the exhibition “Jimmy Tsutomu Mirikitani.” The 30 mixedmedia creations on display undercut powerful themes, such as war and racial discrimination, with the healing effects of hope, forgiveness, and cats.

Struggling to make ends meet in Venice Beach, California, a then-20-something Tony Robbins never knew that unleashing his inner superhero would transform his own life, let alone millions of others.

At his widely popular events, he coaches others on how to meet their own goals and lead more meaningful lives.
