"Gouqi is known as the "king of berries" and has been used for thousands of years as an overall tonic to boost energy, immunity and fertility - and treat just about everything.
Ancient Chinese cherished three tonics for health - ginseng, lingzhi (lucid ganoderma, a fungus) and gouqi (Chinese wolfberry). The tiny red berries are justly famous - and more affordable."







Amy Adams in the movie American Hustle


winter white vegetable soup


"This recipe is adapted from a recipe from Mustards Grill, a wonderful roadside restaurant in Napa, serving delicious stick-to-your ribs dishes & fantastic wines.  We kind of love the place.  This soup is a little sweet on it’s own, but a spoonful of herbaceous, garlicky pesto swirled in balances everything out, making this a hearty lunch, perfect for a cold winter day.
the recipe may be found"

fall 2014 : the dress

Edith Head

the fall dress is perfect for this weather when it is chilly then warms during the day and then is chilly again.
the touch of fur for the scarf is the 2014-2015 look
again the fringe bag is on the runway

this Michael Kors collection of sheer fabric with lovely movement when you walk is beautiful
the heavier shoe of course is the edgy look but add a light strappy pump for a classic long leg
Ours is a J Mendel ochre Paris design
