The Laundry List: What To Read, Live, and Love This Weekend

We at The Huffington Post take unplugging very seriously, and the weekends are a sacred time for that. Saturday and Sunday are days we relish sleeping in, catching up, and spending time on all those stories and culture moments we may have missed Monday through Friday. To make that easier, we're starting a weekly roundup to send us all into the weekend with a concise list of favorites. Check out our highlights, and then take your weekend back.

FIRST THINGS FIRST
The 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' trailer came out to the delight of the proud inner nerd in all of us. You cannot go to brunch with friends without having seen it.

And speaking of inner nerds, we're in love with the Illustrated Literal Meanings Of Idioms. It's smart, fun and adorable.

READ:  
In Susan Burton's "Terry Gross and The Art Of Opening Up," the New York Times Magazine profiles NPR's unofficial godmother and host of its 40-year-old radio show, "Fresh Air." Just wait 'til you see the photo of 1970s Teri. 

BINGE WATCH:
Tastemade's "Raw. Vegan. Not Gross. With Laura Miller." She's a doll.

VIRTUALLY TRAVEL TO:
Thanks, EPSON International Pano Awards, for taking us places. Seriously, as HuffPost's Chris McGonigal says, "Let These Award-Winning Panoramic Photos Envelop You."

CHECK OUT:
The new travel magazine, Grid. It's based in the Philippines, one of the world's most gorgeous travel destinations (when it isn't under a safety warning, anyway). If you don't know already know about Grid, you're going to hear about it soon.

FOLLOW:
While wanderlusting, we kicked our our feet up with one of our favorite Instagrammers of late: Jennifer Lake. Follow and instantly become a happier person.

CELEBRATE:
Drake's birthday. Because he was there to make us laugh this week, again and again and again. 

LEARN: 
If you're making new friends this weekend -- of the potentially romantic variety -- check out "The Best Ways To Break The Ice And Get To Know Someone On The First Date," by Patrick Allan on LifeHacker. 

LISTEN: 
Finally, if there's one thing you absolutely have to do this weekend, it's listen to Adele's new song, "Hello," like we've been doing on repeat all day.

There's A Charming Treehouse Colony In Germany, Calling Your Name

There are treehouses, and then there are houses that are trees, and then there is the German treehouse colony that simply takes your breath away.

This is Robin's Nest Hotel in Hessen, Germany. It's far from civilization: You'll have to travel snaking roads up a mountain until you reach the forested alcove of incredible treehouse structures. Owner Peter Becker built them as a hotel after realizing he was "missing something" in the busy city, as he told online magazine iGNANT.

Robin's Nest includes three treehouses, including one bubble treehouse. Becker constructed them with his own two hands and a few friends. He buys fresh bread for his guests every morning, and he hosts campfire BBQs most evenings. 

You can rent the treehouses by the night, but we're inclined to stay FOREVER.

CollectionContent(56294256e4b0ec0a3893c699,5627a218e4b08589ef49ea3e,Collection,ListicleNone)

The Robin's Nest treehouses sleep two to four guests each, and they start at rates of about $166 per night. After a rest in the forest, you'll also be able to explore the quaint Old Town in Hanover or Frankfurt's buzzy skyline -- both cities are about two hours' drive from Robin's Nest.

But if you'd rather stay in a domestic tree...

13 Wonderfully Weird, Creepy Museums To Visit Around The U.S.

ImageContent(56295c36e4b0ec0a3893e889,562948a01400001b013c8edd,Image,HectorAssetUrl(562948a01400001b013c8edd.jpeg,Some(),Some(jpeg)),ASSOCIATED PRESS,)

Some museums are for dinosaur bones. Some museums are for Monet's "Water Lilies." And some museums are for showing off a book bound in human skin.

The skin is one of the many curiosities at The Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, which attracts more than 130,000 visitors annually to gaze upon its thorough collection of odd bodily paraphernalia (among them John Wilkes Booth's vertebrae and Einstein's brain).

Luckily for educational thrill-seekers, The Mütter isn't the only place to get your creep on around the U.S. Visiting a wacky, weird museum is an especially fun way to get in the spirit during this month where ghostly phantoms and Pumpkin Spice Lattes are at their peak. Plus, these institutions are open year-round, meaning you can pocket this list for whenever otherworldly forces compel you to visit.

There's A Star Trek Cruise, And William Shatner Is Captain

ImageContent(562a305ce4b0aac0b8fc79ab,562a2fd6140000e800c7aab6,Image,HectorAssetUrl(562a2fd6140000e800c7aab6,Some(crop_28_216_722_334),Some(jpeg?cache=cgXEDabCK8)),Facebook/Star Trek: The Cruise,)

Trekkies of the world unite: There is a Star Trek ocean cruise, and it looks AMAZING.

The cruise will set sail from Miami in 2017, sailing to ports of call in Cozumel and the Bahamas. William Shatner is captain -- like, of the ship -- and other stars from the series will sail onboard, too. 

There will be Star Trek-themed bars, clubs and events, including Q's Masquerade Ball hosted by the actual John de Lancie, Risa's Festival of the Moon Party and a Starfleet Gala. On-deck movie screenings under the Caribbean sky round out the trip, along with science panels, life-size Star Trek Catan games, and "performances, comedy shows and concerts," according to Entertainment Cruise Productions.

The cruise will take place on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship in Jan. 2017. Tickets sold out in two months, but Trek-loving sailors can still enter to win a free spot onboard. 

Beam us up! 

But if you'd rather Trek on land:

Italian Recipes That Are Oldies But Goodies

ImageContent(56293070e4b0aac0b8fc20b3,56292ebf1900002e00b94a1a,Image,HectorAssetUrl(56292ebf1900002e00b94a1a.png,Some(),Some(png)),Federica Antonelli,)

Marche-style stuffed zucchini

Stuffed zucchini are a tradition in the history of Italian cooking and arose as a poor dish, made by chopping up leftovers and mixing them together. The version known as alla marchigiana – Marche style – uses veal for the filling, but in my recipe I have replaced it with seitan, a high-protein product made from wheat. This eliminates all cholesterol from the recipe, helping prevent heart disease. The original recipe also calls for frying the zucchini, but here we will simply blanch them. In addition to adding extra fat, frying must be done at a very high temperature that oxidizes the fat, forming toxic compounds.

ImageContent(56293070e4b0aac0b8fc20b5,56292f471400001b013c8e26,Image,HectorAssetUrl(56292f471400001b013c8e26.png,Some(),Some(png)),Federica Antonelli,)

Ingredients

400 g (14 oz) fresh tomatoes 200 g (7 oz) grilled seitan
1 handful parsley
250 g (9 oz) feta cheese
6 small zucchini
1 onion, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper

Thinly slice the onion and sauté it in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 of water. Rinse and chop the tomatoes, and add them to the onion. Salt to taste and sauté. Meanwhile, chop the seitan. Lightly grease a non-stick pan with some oil and sauté the seitan. Transfer to a large bowl when done. Crumble the feta and add it to the seitan. Chop the parsley and add it to the seitan mixture. Season with pepper and blend well. Rinse and trim the zucchini. Cut them in half lengthwise and, using a teaspoon or corer, remove the pulp, being careful not to break the zucchini. Stuff the zucchini with the filling and then cook them in a non-stick pan with a little oil. When they are done, pour the hot tomato sauce over them, simmer for 10 minutes and serve.

Risotto with treviso radicchio

Risotto is a classic Italian dish and there are numerous versions. The most famous is with radicchio from Treviso, which has a somewhat bitter taste. I took the original recipe – typical winter fare, hearty but high in fat – and made it lighter by changing a
few things. In place of butter (high in saturated fat) I use fresh ricotta and feta, and for extra fiber I use brown rice instead of the classic Carnaroli white rice. In fact, it has been proven scientifically that just 30 grams – 1 ounce – of fiber a day helps reduce the risk of colon cancer.

Ingredients

1.5 l (6 1/3 cups) vegetable broth (or water) 1 onion
250 g (9 oz) long Treviso radicchio
320 g (1 2/3 cup) brown rice
40 g (1.5 oz) feta
80 g (3 oz) fresh ricotta salt
White pepper

Heat the broth. In the meantime, thinly slice the onion and sauté it in a little water. Rinse and trim the radicchio, and then cut it into thin strips. Add it to the onion and stir gently. When blended, stir in the rice. Continue cooking, adding the boiling broth as needed, a ladleful at a time, until the rice is done. This will take about 40 minutes. When done, salt to taste and stir in the crumbled or diced feta and the ricotta, blending it in thoroughly. Season with freshly ground white pepper and serve.

8 Major Mistakes People Make When Cooking Lobster

To most out-of-state visitors, dining in coastal Maine has become synonymous with one thing -- lobster.

With that in mind, it's no surprise that being designated as Maine's "Lobster Chef of the Year" is a highly respected achievement, and not just locally. Five renowned state chefs -- Josh Berry of Portland's Union; Matt Ginn of Portland's Evo; Sebasco Harbor Resort's Isaac Aldrich; the Thistle Inn's Nick Krunkkala; and Stephen Richards of Mine Oyster in Boothbay Harbor -- will face off for the coveted crustacean crown Oct. 23. The showdown is one of many highlights at Portland's Harvest on the Harbor festival, a five-day celebration of the state's best food and wine.

Though most lobster dishes are simply-dressed affairs, there's more than one way to experience an epic preparation fail. We asked the five "Lobster Chef of the Year" contestants for their thoughts on the biggest mistakes people make when cooking lobster, and here's what they had to say.

Italian Recipes That Are Oldies But Goodies

ImageContent(56293070e4b0aac0b8fc20b3,56292ebf1900002e00b94a1a,Image,HectorAssetUrl(56292ebf1900002e00b94a1a.png,Some(),Some(png)),Federica Antonelli,)

Marche-style stuffed zucchini

Stuffed zucchini are a tradition in the history of Italian cooking and arose as a poor dish, made by chopping up leftovers and mixing them together. The version known as alla marchigiana – Marche style – uses veal for the filling, but in my recipe I have replaced it with seitan, a high-protein product made from wheat. This eliminates all cholesterol from the recipe, helping prevent heart disease. The original recipe also calls for frying the zucchini, but here we will simply blanch them. In addition to adding extra fat, frying must be done at a very high temperature that oxidizes the fat, forming toxic compounds.

Ingredients

400 g (14 oz) fresh tomatoes 200 g (7 oz) grilled seitan
1 handful parsley
250 g (9 oz) feta cheese
6 small zucchini
1 onion, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper

Thinly slice the onion and sauté it in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 of water. Rinse and chop the tomatoes, and add them to the onion. Salt to taste and sauté. Meanwhile, chop the seitan. Lightly grease a non-stick pan with some oil and sauté the seitan. Transfer to a large bowl when done. Crumble the feta and add it to the seitan. Chop the parsley and add it to the seitan mixture. Season with pepper and blend well. Rinse and trim the zucchini. Cut them in half lengthwise and, using a teaspoon or corer, remove the pulp, being careful not to break the zucchini. Stuff the zucchini with the filling and then cook them in a non-stick pan with a little oil. When they are done, pour the hot tomato sauce over them, simmer for 10 minutes and serve.

Risotto with treviso radicchio

Risotto is a classic Italian dish and there are numerous versions. The most famous is with radicchio from Treviso, which has a somewhat bitter taste. I took the original recipe – typical winter fare, hearty but high in fat – and made it lighter by changing a
few things. In place of butter (high in saturated fat) I use fresh ricotta and feta, and for extra fiber I use brown rice instead of the classic Carnaroli white rice. In fact, it has been proven scientifically that just 30 grams – 1 ounce – of fiber a day helps reduce the risk of colon cancer.

Ingredients

1.5 l (6 1/3 cups) vegetable broth (or water) 1 onion
250 g (9 oz) long Treviso radicchio
320 g (1 2/3 cup) brown rice
40 g (1.5 oz) feta
80 g (3 oz) fresh ricotta salt
White pepper

Heat the broth. In the meantime, thinly slice the onion and sauté it in a little water. Rinse and trim the radicchio, and then cut it into thin strips. Add it to the onion and stir gently. When blended, stir in the rice. Continue cooking, adding the boiling broth as needed, a ladleful at a time, until the rice is done. This will take about 40 minutes. When done, salt to taste and stir in the crumbled or diced feta and the ricotta, blending it in thoroughly. Season with freshly ground white pepper and serve.

8 Major Mistakes People Make When Cooking Lobster

To most out-of-state visitors, dining in coastal Maine has become synonymous with one thing -- lobster.

With that in mind, it's no surprise that being designated as Maine's "Lobster Chef of the Year" is a highly respected achievement, and not just locally. Five renowned state chefs -- Josh Berry of Portland's Union; Matt Ginn of Portland's Evo; Sebasco Harbor Resort's Isaac Aldrich; the Thistle Inn's Nick Krunkkala; and Stephen Richards of Mine Oyster in Boothbay Harbor -- will face off for the coveted crustacean crown Oct. 23. The showdown is one of many highlights at Portland's Harvest on the Harbor festival, a five-day celebration of the state's best food and wine.

Though most lobster dishes are simply-dressed affairs, there's more than one way to experience an epic preparation fail. We asked the five "Lobster Chef of the Year" contestants for their thoughts on the biggest mistakes people make when cooking lobster, and here's what they had to say.

There's A Star Trek Cruise, And William Shatner Is Captain

ImageContent(562a305ce4b0aac0b8fc79ab,562a2fd6140000e800c7aab6,Image,HectorAssetUrl(562a2fd6140000e800c7aab6,Some(crop_28_216_722_334),Some(jpeg?cache=cgXEDabCK8)),Facebook/Star Trek: The Cruise,)

Trekkies of the world unite: There is a Star Trek ocean cruise, and it looks AMAZING.

The cruise will set sail from Miami in 2017, sailing to ports of call in Cozumel and the Bahamas. William Shatner is captain -- like, of the ship -- and other stars from the series will sail onboard, too. 

There will be Star Trek-themed bars, clubs and events, including Q's Masquerade Ball hosted by the actual John de Lancie, Risa's Festival of the Moon Party and a Starfleet Gala. On-deck movie screenings under the Caribbean sky round out the trip, along with science panels, life-size Star Trek Catan games, and "performances, comedy shows and concerts," according to Entertainment Cruise Productions.

The cruise will take place on a Norwegian Cruise Line ship in Jan. 2017. Tickets sold out in two months, but Trek-loving sailors can still enter to win a free spot onboard. 

Beam us up! 

But if you'd rather Trek on land:

13 Wonderfully Weird, Creepy Museums To Visit Around The U.S.

ImageContent(56295c36e4b0ec0a3893e889,562948a01400001b013c8edd,Image,HectorAssetUrl(562948a01400001b013c8edd.jpeg,Some(),Some(jpeg)),ASSOCIATED PRESS,)

Some museums are for dinosaur bones. Some museums are for Monet's "Water Lilies." And some museums are for showing off a book bound in human skin.

The skin is one of the many curiosities at The Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, which attracts more than 130,000 visitors annually to gaze upon its thorough collection of odd bodily paraphernalia (among them John Wilkes Booth's vertebrae and Einstein's brain).

Luckily for educational thrill-seekers, The Mütter isn't the only place to get your creep on around the U.S. Visiting a wacky, weird museum is an especially fun way to get in the spirit during this month where ghostly phantoms and Pumpkin Spice Lattes are at their peak. Plus, these institutions are open year-round, meaning you can pocket this list for whenever otherworldly forces compel you to visit.
