Christian Louboutin

Ok enough of the garden for a moment.... Fashion!

I have to talk about my shoes I just LOVE Christian Louboutin, I own a couple of pair and yes they are mens :-)(and still have the red bottoms) Last trip to Paris I visited the boutique and came across these!!! 

ARENT THEY JUST FASHION!!!!

My Friend said .. "They are Fabulous but maybe for the Prince of Qatar" And yes they are!

 Hand painted designs on python based on Christians travels to visit the Masi people in Africa.. No two pair are a like and Lucky for me this beautiful pair was my size ..other sizes designs and colors were uniquely different.

Now that is Fashion!

There is something I find so decadent, insane, fabulous and beautiful about them.

They are definitely inspirational and I feel special, decadent, insane, fabulous and beautiful when I wear them.

Thank you Christian ;-)

2013 Summer Garden ...Lets Plant!!!

Great Morning planting the minifarmbox garden with Conor and Aaron! First we turned over the soil in the boxes and added ebstone organic Earthworm casting and Flower & Vegetable Planting Mix to replenish the soil and bring the boxes up to level. Then we place out the seedling and figured out where was best place to plant and before putting them in the soil we dusted the roots with Sure Start. 
Finishing with a healthy watering. 

Here is a fun film of Conor from minifarmbox helping me plant the 2013 Summer Garden

Jacaranda Trees in LA

One of my favorite times of year is when the Jacaranda trees bloom around LA. They are so unimposing all year and then bust out with these beautiful and delicately fragrant flowers, spreading a beautiful purple carpet over the streets and neighborhoods of LA

So Excited about the Garden:-)

Nysha and I just picked up seedling plants for the garden and I am so excited to get them in the ground with Conor (minifarmbox)

Left are the golden raspberries and right are the sweet peas which I planted from seed and they are so fragrant and beautiful its overwhelming:-)

Maple Tree Farm

I had the privilege of heading to New Hampshire and meeting Dean of Maple Tree Farm.

Throughout the 1990's working with Country Home and Matthew Mead I was introduced to the splendors of the NorthEast. Un-knowingly I was buying Deans Maple Syrup from local shops and bringing it back to friends in NYC as a gift...Well The Maple Syrup is like no other and I was fortunate enough to learn why and finally meet Dean, He is an Amazing and Wonderful Man.

He gave me a gracious tour of his property and trees. I was amazed how much goes into maple syrup and yet how thoughtful, productive and efficient he has made it.

I always think of Maple syrup in the fall and was surprised to learn its made in spring... go figure! Dean explained how his process works , when, where and what kind of trees he sugars from. and walked me through the entire process ... which he also explains on his web-site

He is such an honorable character and it shows in the integrity of his product.

I was surprised to learn all the uses of maple syrup... (I LOVE it in my morning coffee) The flavor is so specific and comforting, (I will not even mention Maple Cream, Maple crystals ...oops!) 

Regular sugar seems chemical/sterile tasting to me now. In fact I use maple syrup for my bread recipes..It adds a comforting character to the flavor of the bread

Dean is also an amazing resource for Maple syrup history and let me see his collection of  antique syrup tins and maple cake tins as well as wooden taps and buckets

Check out his web-site there is a wealth of knowledge and ideas about maple syrup .... Consider its other possibility..... Its not just good for pancakes.

Did I mention that he Ships but has only limited quantities

Blend Hamburger Gourmet

Ok you maybe wondering why I would have this Hamburger and Fries on my Blog .. Well because it a pretty AMAZING VEGGIE BURGER! YES! Veggi (I'll stop shouting) I am lucky enough to have it right down the street from where I a staying in Paris and It is Fantastic! Its Called Blend

 This one is the "veggie smoke" and its bleu cheese and veggie burger and just yummy!

 I spoke with one of the owners and he said that they frequently travels to places just to try burgers and explore flavor combinations and is heading out to California this week to go burger tasting. The menu is pretty basic but everything they do is done brilliantly, from the fries, regular and sweet potato, to the sauces and ketchup and even cookies.
 I am watching it become more popular ( the line out the front door grows longer everyday) but luckily you can have "emporter" 
Well there is one  more great Vegetarian suggestion in Paris!
