Wishing you a divine weekend. Grab some lovely new peonies, even if only from Whole Foods (here in AZ), Ballet Pink up your nails courtesy of Essie or perhaps twirl through the kitchen & whip up a batch of strawberry ice cream but whatever you do as you do it all this weekend...be pink: youthful, cheerful & ever so delightful.<br />

Once again the season of starwberries looms upon the horizons of farmers markets & better produce departments. I'm excited, no a bit nuts for the starwberries. Now in AZ I do miss the times picking fresh at the farms that dot north of Metro Detroit: fresh slightly cool because I always go in the morning & oh sooo sweet.</div>

I will confess though "au natural" is not always my whim. Its hot here, reaaallly hot, so sometimes blended with mint & club soda makes a refreshing non alcoholic spritzer that seals the day with a cool pucker. Yes a shot of rum makes a fine mojito as well.</div>

Of course salads always work. I actually blend strawberries & balasmic vinegar, let them marinate for a day on the counter & then use the yummy sludge to make a killer salad dressing (good olive oil, Maldon salt & fresh black pepper...thats it) which most often ends up over greens with chevre & nuts.</div>

John Howard & his associates are a completely different tree in the orchard, being his genius is exteriors, rather than in, yet ironically the subtle genius that Phoebe paints within her rooms, also reigns supreme in Jim & Co.'s projects as well. </div>

Today is a natural day to give a bit to the internet being its all about the green. Alright not really but being that St Patricks Day for so many revoloves around beads (?) tshirts , horrid green beer (hello Guiness!!), I decided to pause & celebrate my love of green..the color.<br />It goes with everything. Heck a plant works in any space.Case closed. Its nature, its richness, darn it it makes me feel renewed.

However....<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div></div><div>Where does it go & how does it go by so fast??</div><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484294002017260802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIFHq-XFIbVWnNGrdrzuew5BVKNaBGMZLGYtRo5TtepnDRqwBj9ZKPbSjyuhFKLYX4xk9jeAOtRKHc1RvyU8GKS-xveCX0mV56d61kF1rwhbJc45ZeKPBIDPQfekkpyq7yVi49BRAheK54/s320/Grants+perfect+face+%2704.JPG" />I remember cutting up oranges to give him a visual for fractions while we did homework. I remember doing the Martin Luther King Day word search with him so the weekend could start. I also remember the issues; his goofiness needing to be tamed, his sometimes lack of focus & knowing how unbelievably smart this boy was & hoping it would all come out for his teachers to see. This is the boy who asked me when he was 5 how his tongue tasted food & wanted specifics so we bought a human body book to learn. I can still hear his little boy voice begging to read about the digestive system instead of a Transformers book one bedtime. Heck he corrected my mom when she pointed out a purple Victorian house..." Liz, that's mauve." This is one incredible little guy.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484294936663715074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnK3fjy3r8sqEBKD5Ehh12r_9fJoS90vzs_m3sRk1o8CpPwlp_46McTy8Y_J7vGxGeaYvDBhbvVH14BPxrucGa20b_oOwEba2Oi3FfMRJ3Dst0BMz24apnJqWGp0wDi8CrQM6bInkY4p5f/s200/102007.jpg" /></div><div>But he's not soo little anymore. He's 11 & a half, going into middle school & finally found his essence when it comes to school. Focused & succeeding all I could think about today, while I wished I was there was how fleeting time really is. Treasure the moments. I do.</div><div></div></div><div><div>We chat still weekly & always he ends with "love yous" because I'm proud to say he knows how important that is most of all.

I'm thrilled, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">excited</span> & giddy 24/7!!! My mom & I are doing 3 weeks of wandering around the Italian countryside, city vista etc!!! Best of all...it's a gift from my Dad!!!!<br />Can you believe it!! Here it is Fathers Day around the corner & my parents surprised me out of the blue, well first they teased me then after threats of damage they finally let the cat out of the bag.<br />You see Mom & I were all set to do this trip back in 2004 but my then best friend begged for us to wait a year for her to go so we waited. I got terribly ill the end of June 04 & she met a man & dumped me in October. Yup fun huh..... did I mention my health returned right around the time the economy went bust. Fast forward another 2 plus years & now...<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">tada</span>!!!!!<br />We will be flying into Florence renting a car & tooling around the upper half of that fabulous boot. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Perugia</span> is as south as we will go. I have a few foodie guides & <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Caffeletto</span>...the ultimate in inns & villas for staying. I can't stop laughing.<br />I hope that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">every ones</span> week was as busy, hard working, surprising & laughter filled as mine. By the way an idiot in a new Mercedes nearly killed me today crossing into my path when I had a green & he had a red & as pissed as I was at his entitled apathetic attitude (what else could it be??) I realized why beat him up...he does that when he looks in the mirror every morning!!!<br />Wishing everyone <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Dolce</span> Vita!!!!!Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04604123003856840475noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538828492906082381.post-29780263807299243132010-05-31T17:02:00.000-07:002010-05-31T21:08:46.137-07:00Blue is true with white sheer delight<div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 334px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477647389682865122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPT8Px_FL5NPqwDBaCu-mR66WMhRJjSq6L2WNOZGv7983XPNg-dHHUCulkM3lLI6VyL-_rDYVYD4r8POv564vs3FBausX0zQtHRjJZMqMUi2gnUt7sgDqIQ95KkGe3NI0zeKAutqyTdUWA/s400/J_K+Place+-+Capri.jpg" />Blue & white are classic.

Stillness is a gift so few take advantage of in these years.</div><div>Another wonderful notion I heard this week...</div><br /><div>L is for life, E is for evolving that is IF you allow it to happen. </div><div>LIFE</div><br /><div>Have a wonderful weekend.</div>Aliciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04604123003856840475noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538828492906082381.post-80111814411579931632010-05-17T15:38:00.000-07:002010-05-17T16:56:31.367-07:00Little green wonders all in recipe row...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyYlGRfjecI3IT1aYZaNyEecC0c0ahKclnQOs9NdiW-638IH8rdf38Ju3HwKNyJXS6h_sUmXsueFHaELkQM9t8J9LF3qcH4kNm0qZohyphenhyphen4pKHmuUOYP1OMhIL5MMHyfff4pckyFqpSsGUJp/s1600/botanical.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 252px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 379px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472390608951959826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyYlGRfjecI3IT1aYZaNyEecC0c0ahKclnQOs9NdiW-638IH8rdf38Ju3HwKNyJXS6h_sUmXsueFHaELkQM9t8J9LF3qcH4kNm0qZohyphenhyphen4pKHmuUOYP1OMhIL5MMHyfff4pckyFqpSsGUJp/s400/botanical.jpg" /></a><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div align="center">Snap, snow or just a sweet treat I've always loved peas.

Mint & pea soup has been a favourite for or so long & this <a href="http://www.epicurean.com/featured/cold-minted-pea-soup.html"><span style="color:#009900;">recipe</span></a> is my favorite because its chilled. I garnish with creme fraiche & a pea shoot or a delicate small mint sprig. Its refreshingly cool, flavorful yet not overpowering.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472390314167393474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7dudrZ8ux38jv9X04yKBx92BqYmGDsoQd7Wrq1eIUEUYBR6wdofGiRZ5wxr9L3KR7KwVAuGvrDqkSVN3Z7xwxXCYzwAgBGnrJkMzMU-a63ee6s_kg7aAUZygQsHKKSgO4A3vvN6Db3jI1/s400/PeaMintSoup.jpg" />Another favorite is fresh peas, sugar snaps, mint & feta salad. Its yummy with my go to dressing of olive oil, champagne vinegar, Maldon salt & fresh cracked white pepper. I've added chives. scallion, etc over the years but the standard greens still is works best on the buds. If not feta go for chevre, caprino, mato or any goats milk cheese. the sharpness marries well with the greens, but hey go lactose free if desired. I've done that as well. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 364px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472390008366506098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl8limhAMQeuPv3b54s6y677E83OjaGRm8R6Uf_My28pB3y0oqpAHwEX_8iMfVb3B7-a6patapj20PCWmVnWMEJwnc3jdwJaBsw17YiCjm2GsNI00rXhTmy5rtxXCG9t2I4os74OlnZr9T/s400/peamintfetasalad.jpg" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472390002206665538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg72RTgoonOHLhrleIGOP4Dd8Pu3gVRC00_F5HUhCJRMhIaMuOQtaD4yV7Ca7cg7okejaZC7mknhjwqxVNi58ZQ4REt7_WWJ_G-3on5VRpdMb6-UF8slTgOuj9M9eArs8CDHnVuLX-gQdlb/s400/sugarsnapmintsalad.jpg" />Pea sprouts are so under used in Western culture but dou miao is yummy. These gentle pea tendrils are stir fried with garlic, ginger then soy, & I add mirin for delicacy delight. The sprouts also rock on sandwiches. You must try. I get them at my local Asian market.

Unless you're blessed with a farmers market Whole Foods really has the best selection including unique varieties. I never go for canned, goodbye to all the flavor.
