These heirloom quality figures are just the cutest and they have a secret. Inside of each little Gnome is a chocolate truffle. (I believe in chocolate at any point in the meal on certain days…) My kids would have loved these when they were little, a special little something on the table every year. Great gift for a new little family. Six Gnomes and two rounds of truffles.     https://www.harryanddavid.com/h/gourmet-foods/kitchen-dining/32503?searchTerm=gnome%20truffle%20holders&storeIdTab=21051&catEntryId=   Festive Small Plates for the Season. I'm a believer in small plates! I like to eat these things that come on small plates: appetizers; salads; desserts. And I love the way they plates can make a table look special, even if your regular china is just white. I have a Twelve Days of Christmas set that I sue from Thanksgiving to New Years Day. Below is a round-up of great plates I found that would be a festive addition at any table.

I love the city specific toiles: Atlanta, Chicago, NYC, SF, Texas .  www.minted.com   Liz's recommendations:   I don't like to be too on the nose with my holiday décor, so I like Stuff You Don't Totally Have to Put Away after the holidays.  I'm into Gold and a  red you can live with like Pomengranate, not Santa hat red. My go-to Holiday Shop is Crate & Barrel.  https://www.crateandbarrel.com/holiday/ For my house in Oregon, Lian gave me some Woodland Creatures from Pier 1 a few years ago. Hooper and I both like them, so I'm thinking of adding a few more this year, like this decorative Hedgehog.  https://www.pier1.com/harold-the-natural-hedgehog-with-basket/3655158.html#internal-search-product&autocplt=hedge      A complete Satellite Sisters website, archive and shop is here.  For great Satellite Sisters and Satellite Misters gifts from our online shop, go here.  Click here to buy our Satellite Sisters book "You're The Best: A Celebration of Friendship"  Check out Liz's workplace advice podcast Safe For Work.

Liz + Julie's Major Announcement, Happy 25th Anniversary Lian, 2018 Themes

Julie picked this favorite episode from 2012 because she loves hearing Sheila and Monica. Ask Sheila any question about her Oscar picks and her answer is Ryan Gosling, despite the fact that he is not nominated for anything.  Oh, well. Ask Julie about her Oscar picks and the answer is pretty much "Please. Anyone but The Artist!." Here's Julie's pitch: "It is Oscar time 2012 and Sheila has an excellent Entertaining Sheila report direct from her Cozy Couch.  Monica and Liz have their own picks and pans and Oscar-watching strategies for the big  night.  As usual, I'm a beat behind on all things Hollywood but I did manage to get face-to-face with Adam Levine at Mardi Gras.  I also have an excellent business proposition for Liz.  I suggest  we launch  an alternative to the Apple Store that's less intimidating. Fewer nerds and geniuses please! You know, it still sounds good to me in 2017.  And all the sisters love the listener idea of holding a Carry-On Coat Contest.  You'll just have to listen to understand.There is excitement is in the air on this podcast."    Also, Liz recommends an audiobook in the spirit of the Satellite Sisterhood. It's Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?  For great Satellite Sisters gifts, visit our online shop, go here.  To subscribe to Satellite Sisters on Apple Podcasts, click here.  To subscribe to Satellite Sisters on Stitcher, click here.

Camping. A sure sign that the Eclipseolypse was upon us.  Monica was doing sunrise yoga and listening to a Portlandia-inspired astronomer dude in Salem, Oregon at Brooks Winery. Jill, friend of the Satellite Sisterhood/former producer on The Oprah Winfrey Show/podcast producer, was in Saluki Stadium in Carbondale, IL after convincing her dubious husband that the totality was the only place to spend her birthday. Julie and Lian file their reports from the partiality.  Julie concludes that "much joy was to be had" on her end, while Lian has a beef with some "toddler talk" on hers. Lian also joyfully provides a complete round-up of the eclipse love that all the Satellite Sisters shared with us on the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group.  You must take in all the happy photos there right now! Sisters from coast-to-coast, from the top of Mount Whitney to their own lounge chairs in their driveways.

And for those who live in parts of the country where they will view a partial eclipse, including Lian Dolan in Pasadena CA and Julie Dolan in Dallas TX, he has advice for maximum enjoyment + safety.  Kirshner also describes what scientists will be able to observe and learn during the historic eclipse.  On August 21, he will be at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Sun Valley, Idaho, which is in the path of totally, of course.

Lian Dolan hears cousin Robert Kirshner explain Dark Matter, Dark Energy

Satellite Sisters podcast is brought to you by Harrys.com and Rover.com. On today's Satellite Sisters podcast, Lian Dolan, Julie Dolan and Liz Dolan announce plans for two special episodes about the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse, share their  disappointment with Michael Phelps vs Shark and share their love of a heartbreaking new  Princess Diana HBO documentary called  Diana Our Mother and a classic episode of Say Yes To The Dress with  guest star Martha Stewart.  There she is in all of her chilly glory! First up, on August 1, 2017 we will release Eclipseolypse 2017: The Satellite Sisters interview astronomer Robert Kirshner PhD.  Dr. Kirshner is one of the world's leading astrophysicists, the Clowes Professor of Science at Harvard University, the Chief Science Officer at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and, perhaps most importantly, our cousin Bobby.  Thank goodness we have a family astronomer to help us understand everything we need to know about eclipses before the big event on August 21.  Our second Eclipseolypse 2017 Satellite Sisters Special will drop on August 22, the day after Liz and Monica have experienced the totality.  Be sure you have subscribed to Satellite Sisters on Apple Podcasts or Stitcher so that you get both of these special episodes.

Lian is outraged that the international governing body of of swimming called  FINA changed the name of Synchronized Swimming to Artistic Swimming. We have taken a pledge to never use that name even though they do wear nose clips and makeup.  It's an incredibly athletic event.  Let the athletes sound like athletes! Lian is still sniffling after viewing  HBO's documentary about Princess Diana called XXXX.  It features really moving personal interviews with her sons Will and Harry.  We miss you, Diana. In Lian's downtime, there's nothing she enjoys more than bingeing on Say Yes To The Dress.  This weekend she found the best episode ever.  Martha Stewart as special guest in all her chilly Martha-ness.  You have to find it and watch. Julie had a great Nana Camp experience crafting with a cool kit from Skullduggery.  Good thing she had 10 year old Alice there to explain it to her!  Success.  Easy Breezy! It's summer so we are required to talk about summer salads.  Lian shares a recipe and her secret ingredient. And Julie has one Tuesday trend about  the woman who invented the self-cleaning house.  Sounds great until you realize that it's like living inside a dishwasher. Liz has a stalement with a neighbor in the parking garage.  Grrrrrrr.  Followed by a total fail at Meditation Class.  Those two things might be related.  Operation Sea Turtle struggles along.    

Princess Diana, Martha Stewart, Summer Salads, Nana Camp, Phelps vs. Bogus Shark

Best Beach Bag Books:  Alison Larkin "The English-American"

Thank you for completing our quick easy listener survey here: https://survey.libsyn.com/satellitesisters On today's 4th of July show, Julie Dolan and Liz Dolan talk about the charm of 4th of July hometown parades, A Gentleman In Moscow and the new Satellite Sisters products you can find here at Cafe Press.  Then we turn it over to Lian Dolan, Sheila Dolan and Monica Dolan who have a super fun interview with writer Jancee Dunn about her novel Don't You Forget About Me.  Much hilarity ensues in this discussion of the 80's, life in high school and the pain of high school reunions. This was the kick-off for our Best Beach Bag Books series in 2008.  To subscribe to Satellite Sisters on Apple Podcasts, click here.  To subscribe to Satellite Sisters on Stitcher, click here.

At thirty-eight, Lillian Curtis is content with her life. She enjoys her routine as a producer for a talk show in New York City starring showbiz veteran Vi ("short for vibrant") Barbour, a spirited senior. Lillian's relationship with her husband is pleasant if no longer exciting. Most nights she is more than happy to come home to her apartment and crawl into her pajamas. Then she's hit with a piece of shocking news: Her husband wants a divorce.  Blindsided, Lillian takes a leave of absence and moves back to her parents' home in suburban New Jersey. Nestled in her childhood bedroom, where Duran Duran and Squeeze posters still cover the walls, she finds high school memories a healing salve to her troubles. She hurtles backward into her teen years, driving too fast, digging up mix tapes, and tentatively reconciling with Dawn, a childhood friend she once betrayed. Punctuating her stroll down memory lane is an invitation to the Bethel Memorial High School class of 1988 twenty-year reunion. It just might be Lillian's chance to reconnect with her long-lost boyfriend, Christian Somers, who is expected to attend. Will it be just like heaven?  Lillian discovers, as we all must, the pitfalls of glorifying the glory days, the mortification of failing as a thirtysomething adult, and the impossibility of fully recapturing the past. Don't You Forget About Me is for anyone who looks back and wonders: What if?

July 4th,  Jancee Dunn, High School Reunions

Women we love, the songs they wrote and the men they slept with.  On this episode of Satellite Sisters podcast from July 2, 2008, Liz, Sheila and Monica interview Sheila Weller about her New York Times Times Bestseller "Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon and the Journey of a Generation."  On April 6, 1971, Carly Simon was about to take the stage at The Troubadour in Los Angeles. In the audience, James Taylor with his girlfriend Joni Mitchell. And back in NYC in the famed Brill Building, Carole King was already so famous as a songwriter that she was the person the Beatles asked to meet on their first trip to America. Meanwhile, in Fairfield CT, Monica, Sheila and Liz were in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades learning to love these voices of a generation. And love the men they loved. We are talking to you, James Taylor.  Please fill out our 2017 Listener Survey: https://survey.libsyn.com/satellitesisters Here's  from amazon about Girls Like Us:  "A groundbreaking and irresistible biography of three of America's most important musical artists—Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon—charts their lives as women at a magical moment in time.  Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon remain among the most enduring and important women in popular music. Each woman is distinct. Carole King is the product of outer-borough, middle-class New York City; Joni Mitchell is a granddaughter of Canadian farmers; and Carly Simon is a child of the Manhattan intellectual upper crust. They collectively represent, in their lives and their songs, a great swath of American girls who came of age in the late 1960s. Their stories trace the arc of the now mythic sixties generation—female version—but in a bracingly specific and deeply recalled way, far from cliché. The history of the women of that generation has never been written—until now, through their resonant lives and emblematic songs.  Girls Like Us is an epic treatment of midcentury women who dared to break tradition and become what none had been before them—confessors in song, rock superstars, and adventurers of heart and soul."
