Breaking loose from a decades-long relationship with Capitol Records, Frank Sinatra started his own recording label – Reprise Records – on this day in 1960. Music titan Mo Ostin (1927-2022) headed Reprise through the vibrant and turbulent 1960s, after the label merged with Warner Bros in 1963.

#RecipeOfTheDay is a regular in Casa Lawson: Warm Spiced Cauliflower and Chick Pea Salad! And for all that I call it a salad – not entirely sure why I do, except that’s how I think of it – it is actually rather gorgeously hearty. (And also #vegan, btw) www.nigella.com/recipes/warm...

Let’s kick off Black History Month with the talented jockey Isaac Murphy. He won three Kentucky Derbies and was the first jockey elected to the U.S. Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame. Murphy was among the most famous and well-paid athletes during a stellar career that commenced in 1875.
