My very first Prickly Pear Cactus Margarita! Muy Bueno! Recipe to follow!
Vitamix 5200
- Stirring the Senses!: Introducing the Vitamix 5200 - The most important appliance in my kitchen!
The Vitamix 5200 is literally the one appliance that I would take to any desert island because I use it everyday! It makes preparing raw foods a breeze and it's literally the healthiest way that I know to prepare fresh foods quickly! Just wait until the first time that you make homemade mayonnaise. A process that used to easily take 1/2 hour can be done in 5 minutes with fresher and brighter results! It can even grind grains and make compost...truly the most useful machine that I've ever owned!
SlowFood USA
- Slow Food USA
I fell in love with the concept of the Slow Food Movement several years ago when I began to think seriously about the origins of the food that I was feeding my family! I don't think that there is anything as important as having the access to the knowledge that lets us make powerful choices about the foods that we eat. This group got it right many years ago! I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do, and maybe you'll be inspired to start your own Slow Food Convivia. There can't ever be too many!
Waverley Fitzgerald's Flower of the Day!
- Living in Season!
I love Waverley Fitzgerald, and I've been reading her School of the Seasons for years! This is her new blog, " Flower of the Day"! She's a tremendously gifted writer and researcher, in another time and place she would be the authoress of her own Book of Hours! Enjoy!
Paris Notes!
- Paris Notes - Paris, France, culture, history, current events, food, fun things to do and more
This is a wonderful website and monthly flight of fancy for anyone who loves Paris, or simply the idea of Paris! I think that it was Thomas Jefferson who said, "All men have two countries, their own and France!" I couldn't agree more!
OpenTable.Com
- OpenTable Restaurants and Restaurant Reservations
I love Opentable.com! We travel frequently and there's nothing like the convenience of being able to make a vacations worth of reservations at some of the finest restaurants! They take special requests and I've never been dissapointed!
What I'm reading!
Louisa Jones: Kitchen Gardens of France
This book is GORGEOUS,INSPIRING! and really entertaining! I love kitchen gardens, and these are some of the best! Bon Appetit! (*****)Louisa Jones: Provence Harvest
This is a beautiful book for anyone interested in the abundant food and extraordinary lifestyle of those lucky souls who call Provence home! The photographs are gorgeous, the recipes delectable. Grab a blanket, some fresh bread, cheese, a bottle of Pinot Noir and your favorite someone and escape! (*****)Sophie Kinsella: The Undomestic Goddess
Join high powered attorney Samantha Sweeting as she loses her old life and finds a remarkably relaxing life (and plenty of passion!) as a housekeeper (she can't even make toast!) in the Cotswalds. This book alternately made me laugh out loud and cry from it's simple pleasure. I love all of Sophies Kinsella's books, but this was definitely the best, complete with a yummy romantic English gardener who has a magical kitchen witch of a mother! (*****)Thomas Keller: Bouchon
Thomas Keller is in my humble opinion, the greatest chef alive in America today. He is generous with his recipes and even more generous with his advice. I have eaten at Bouchon in Las Vegas and it was undeniably memorable. Try the leg of lamb with the thyme reduction and white beans...... (*****)Amanda Hesser: Cooking for Mr. Latte
Amanda Hesser IS my favorite food writer! Of specific interest to myself is the chapter on airplane meals! Really funny! (*****)

Spring in my Father's garden!
- My fathers garden is one of the most enchanted spots on this earth! I always tease him and say that he's got a wee touch of the fairy folk in his blood! See for yourself!
My Sister's Garden!
- This is my sister Ellen's beautiful garden in La Jolla, California! It is a constant work in progress, a labour of love. Like all true Virgo's, her garden isn't quite tame, and more than a touch wild! She can't help it...she's a painter and colour pops out all over her life!
The La Jolla Farmers Market!
- The La Jolla Farmers Market is really fun! Held every Sunday morning at The La Jolla Elementary School, it's a feast for all of the senses. It's magical watching the children run around the playground while you're feasting on crepes with your family, and then leisurely strolling around in search of the most beautiful flowers and the freshest herbs and vegetables!
