it can!) So I say Maximize your Minimalism!

favorite heel style
the wedge, but a sleek modern interpretation
second favorite
the stiletto
current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

Last night's "sauce" was a great success. I totally recommend it! It would be very delicious on grilled fish, I would imagine. Mmmm. I changed the recipe a bit. I added Sriracha hot chili sauce, garlic, and one scallion to the cilantro, vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil. I took a photo too. For tonight I am planning to use aged brown basmati rice that my mom gave me (first time to try it, excited!), along with broccoli and tofu marinated in Indian spices and roasted in the oven, yogurt-coriander dressing and some mesclun greens. I came across this link for veggie entrees on the Everyday Food website. There are many! I'm sure I can find one for night 3 in-a-row tomorrow. If you don't think I am inspired by Julie, you are wrong. I am. I am up to this entry in her blog and am getting a bit grossed out by all the meat and cream. But I like reading about the progression. Maybe I could make my way through Didi Emmons' Vegetarian Planet ? No. Too much butter. Anyway, I like to look at a recipe, close the book, and start cooking in my own direction. If you would like to see some beautiful photos of food, check out this blog, called Chubby Hubby. Below, my cilantro sauce. Labels: food, recipe help
