my concept
useful, economical, modular pieces that can be mix-matched in numerous
ways (because why can't fashion be useful and lasting? I think
it can!) So I say Maximize your Minimalism!

succulents and other waxy flora
particular loves
bamboo, coral, moss, woodgrain, silhouettes & other cut-outs, plastic,

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.

recipe help again
Once again, I need some new recipe ideas. I made the Asian pesto from Martha last night ( photo), with my variations, and it was really tasty. Now I need some ideas for tonight. Help! In the meantime I am going to scour the web and see what I come up with. I will be back later (check this same post) with my food finds. Feel free to send me your links to favorite vegetarian recipes in the meantime. Since I was in the mode of making graphics, I made another. I kind of like the shape of this one. Black bean sauce is a good basic to have in your repetoire, like a good skirt. hee. Here's one I compiled from 4 recipes I found. Great on veggies, grilled tofu, rice. Great on fish too. Ingredient list in bold. Ok I found one good idea. Back to searching. Cook up one can of black beans with garlic, soy sauce, grated ginger (to make it juicy), sriracha or other favorite hot sauce, coriander powder, fresh lime juice in a pot until the mixture thickens. Let cool a bit and blend in food processor with 3 fresh scallions, cilantro and a dash of sesame oil. How to use: marinate your ingredients in the fridge and then bake in the oven, grill, or wok. Or wok your ingredients and then add while cooking, and then spoon extra sauce on to serve. Here is a link on epicurious to 10 orzo recipes. I forgot, I have fresh feta from Astoria in the fridge right now! I like the looks of the cucumber feta dressing. I must look through and combine my favorite elements.
