That pink slab on my grill may look like a piece of marble or granite but it is actually SALT!&lt;/div&gt;

Yep! &amp;nbsp;A thick hunk of Himalayan Pink Salt. &amp;nbsp;When heated, this brick of salt will &quot;grill&quot; food. The salt is slowly heated on the stove top, in the oven or on a grill. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

When the correct temperature was reached, I moved the salt block to the picnic table. &amp;nbsp;Be careful...it is EXTREMELY HOT!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&amp;nbsp;I had shrimp, scallops, calamari steaks and some thinly sliced vegetables to grill. &amp;nbsp;No need to season the raw food, the salt block will do that for you. &amp;nbsp;The raw food sizzles and sears on the hot salt and is fully cooked in a matter of minutes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Our first attempt at cooking on a salt block was a success. &amp;nbsp;We stayed with seafood and veggies. &amp;nbsp;The food was seasoned perfectly by the salt block and a squirt of lime added just enough fresh zest. &amp;nbsp;This is a really fun way to cook and would be a perfect way to involve guests at a party. &amp;nbsp;Have them select and cook their own appetizers. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
When the cooking was completed, the salt block retained some food residuals. &amp;nbsp;I dampened a Scotch-Brite green cleaner pad and scrubbed the surface. &amp;nbsp;Allow the salt block to dry for at least 24 hours before reusing. &amp;nbsp;Do not submerge the salt block in water! &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I&#39;m planning my next salt block meal of thin beef strips and asparagus. &amp;nbsp;What would you try?&lt;/div&gt;

I didn&#39;t have to travel to NY City to visit Shinola. &amp;nbsp;Saturday, hubby and I drove into Detroit (about 30 minutes away) and visited the Shinola showroom there.&lt;/div&gt;

The watches have achieved a cult status and the demand has made supply very limited.&lt;/div&gt;

I&#39;ve heard about Slows many times and the accolades it receives are well deserved. &amp;nbsp;The smoked meats were tender, flavorful and smokey good. &amp;nbsp;Generous portions and great side dishes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

The meats are smoked with dry rubs and you have your choice of sauces, ranging from sweet to hot. &amp;nbsp;My favorite was the pulled pork with the NC sauce, a vinegary sauce favored in North Carolina bar bq. &amp;nbsp;The seasonal flavor was pineapple-habanero. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Just a few doors away from Slows is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.astrodetroit.com/&quot;&gt;Astro Coffee.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; A great cup of coffee in an eclectic, fun, neighborhood coffee shop. &amp;nbsp;They have a small selection of baked goods and lunch menu. The cafe features a great communal table for eating, surfing the web or hanging out with friends.&lt;/div&gt;

With all the bad news about Detroit last week, it is nice to know that there are a few bright spots in such a troubled city. &amp;nbsp;Best wishes Detroit!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;Baked Oatmeal with Berries image by me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I love breakfast and I&#39;m always looking for a new way to use oats. &amp;nbsp;I found this baked oatmeal &lt;a href=&quot;http://orangette.blogspot.com/2013/03/we-have-rhythm.html&quot;&gt;recipe&lt;/a&gt; on Molly&#39;s blog,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://orangette.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;Orangette&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Molly adapted the recipe from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Super-Natural-Every-Day-Well-Loved/dp/1580082777/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;keywords=super%20natural%20every%20day&amp;amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;amp;qid=1362865288&amp;amp;sr=8-1&amp;amp;tag=orangette-20&quot;&gt;Super Natural Every Day: Well-Loved Recipes From My Natural Foods Kitchen&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;by Heidi Swanson. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I eat oats about 4 times a week and I am now obsessed with this addition to the repertoire. &amp;nbsp;This oatmeal recipe includes milk and an egg along with baking powder but no flour or other grain. &amp;nbsp;The result is a puffy, custard type of dish. &amp;nbsp;It is sweetened with maple syrup but not too sweet. &amp;nbsp;There are nuts and berries and you can certainly choose which of those additions you&#39;d like to use. &amp;nbsp;I used a combination of blueberries and raspberries along with walnuts. &amp;nbsp;Pecans would be wonderful and I think adding some coconut would make this heaven. &amp;nbsp;Blackberries? &amp;nbsp;Why not. &amp;nbsp;So you do have to plan ahead a bit as this takes about 35 minutes to bake. &amp;nbsp;Pop it in the oven, take your shower and get dressed and then sit down to this warm, baked, deliciousness. &amp;nbsp;If you want a really decadent breakfast, top with a bit of cream. &amp;nbsp;Did I tell you that leftovers are just fine the next day after a trip to the microwave?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
2 cups old fashioned, rolled oats&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1/2 cup walnut halves (or nuts of your choice, toasted or not)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1 teaspoon baking powder&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
3/4 - 1 1/2 cups blueberries (or combo of berries)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
2 cups milk (whole is best, I used 2%)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1/3 cup maple syrup&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1 large egg&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
2 teaspoons vanilla extract&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
In an 8-inch square baking dish, mix together the oats, the nuts, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. (This part can be done the night before, if you like, to make things easier in the morning.) Scatter the berries evenly over the oat mixture.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, egg, about half of the butter, and vanilla. Slowly drizzle the milk mixture over the oats. Gently give the baking dish a couple of thwacks on the countertop to make sure the liquid moves down through the oats.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the oat mixture has set. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool for a few minutes. If the remaining butter has solidified, rewarm it slightly; then drizzle it over the top of the oatmeal. Serve.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;
Yield: about 6 servings&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

My new favorite dough recipe is from Mario Batali, found in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/aspen-2003-basic-pizza-dough&quot;&gt;Food &amp;amp; Wine magazine&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;The secret is the 1/4 cup of wine used to make the dough. &amp;nbsp;I use unbleached all-purpose flour but the recipe calls for double zero flour mixed with all purpose flour. &amp;nbsp;Double zero means that the flour is very finely ground; powder-like. &amp;nbsp;Regardless, this dough feels like silk after proper kneading and rising. &amp;nbsp;I love the texture. &amp;nbsp;I use half the dough to make two pizzas and freeze the remaining dough for another day. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

I bake pizza at 475 degrees F on a pizza stone which give the pizza a chewy texture with a crusty bottom. &amp;nbsp;Our favorite topping combo is caramelized onion, sauteed mushroom, sausage and Gruyere cheese. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Add the honey, salt and olive oil and mix thoroughly. Add 1 cup of the flour and mix with a wooden spoon to make a loose batter. Add 2 more cups of the flour and stir with the spoon for 2 to 3 minutes to incorporate as much flour as possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;padding-bottom: 21px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Bring the dough together by hand and turn out onto a floured board or marble surface. Knead for 6 to 8 minutes, until you have a smooth, firm dough. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a towel. Set aside to rise in the warmest part of the kitchen for 45 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Cover again and let rest for 15 minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

Working with one piece of dough at a time, use your fingers and palms to flatten the dough into a 10- to 12-inch round, each about 1/8-inch thick.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

The art center has a beautiful ocean side venue for weddings and other special events.&lt;/div&gt;

And I love this idea for hanging an &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillandsia&quot;&gt;air plant&lt;/a&gt;, just thread it through a sea urchin shell and hang it up. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Denim and chambray shirts are wardrobe staples but I am infatuated with this fresh take on a classic; a denim tee. &amp;nbsp;This top just begs to be worn with white jeans but dress it up and down and it will work with anything you&#39;d wear with a tee or denim shirt.&lt;/div&gt;

Every spring I look forward to the abundance of fresh asparagus in the markets. &amp;nbsp;I probably serve this vegetable 2 - 3 times a week during its growing season and I&#39;m always looking for a new way to prepare the delicious green stalks.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
I found a pasta &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Fettuccine-with-Mushrooms-and-Asparagus-232195&quot;&gt;recipe &lt;/a&gt;with mushrooms and asparagus on epicurious.com and made it my own.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
I started by sautéing bacon with onion and some red pepper flakes.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
I added sliced mushrooms.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Next came the sliced asparagus. &amp;nbsp;Doesn&#39;t it look gorgeous?&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
Next came some cream, chicken broth, fresh basil and Parmesan cheese.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
When the sauce thickened a bit, I added freshly cooked farfalle pasta and tossed it all together.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Et voilà! &amp;nbsp;There you have a satisfyingly delicious pasta dish with fresh mushrooms and asparagus. &amp;nbsp;You can make this a vegetarian dish by eliminating the bacon and substituting vegetable broth for chicken broth.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
My adaptation of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Fettuccine-with-Mushrooms-and-Asparagus-232195&quot;&gt;this epicurious recipe&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
3 strips of thick, cut bacon, chopped&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1/2 yellow onion, chopped&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1/2 lb cremini mushrooms, wiped clean and sliced&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1/2 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1/2 lb thin asparagus, sliced on the bias, about 1/2 inch long&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
3/4 cup heavy cream&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
3/4 lb farfalle pasta&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
2 tablespoon sliced basil&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;instruction&quot; style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;1.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Bring 6 quarts water to a boil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over high heat, then add 2 tablespoons salt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;instruction&quot; style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;While waiting for the water to boil, sauté bacon in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and pepper flakes and sauté quickly to keep the ingredients from scorching. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the mushrooms darken slightly in color and are softened but still holding their shape, about 5 minutes. Add the broth and asparagus and cook, stirring gently, for 2 minutes. Stir in the cream, immediately reduce the heat to keep it from scorching, and cook for several minutes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;instruction&quot; style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 7 to 9 minutes from the time the water returns to a boil&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;instruction&quot; style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;4.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Add the basil and cheese to the pan with the mushrooms and toss well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;instruction&quot; style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;5.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Reserve a cup or so of the pasta&#39;s cooking liquid, then drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the mushrooms, asparagus, and sauce. If the sauce seems too dry, stir in a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta water. Toss, taste, and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;instruction&quot; style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;

This post is a milestone for me as it marks my 1000th post since I began Spiral Style, &lt;a href=&quot;http://spiralstyle.blogspot.com/2009/06/first-day-blog.html&quot;&gt;June 15, 2009&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;My mission for Spiral Style was to share what gives me pleasure and this is what I said:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, fantasy; font-size: 13.600000381469727px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px;&quot;&gt;What is my pleasure? It is the simple things in life, planting a garden, gathering shells on the beach or going for a run. I get pleasure by creating pieces of jewelry from silver. Pleasure is being with the ones you love. Food, cooking and wine give me pleasure. Travel is a luxurious pleasure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I think it is time to back away from daily blogging, not finally but as a five times a week blog. &amp;nbsp;I want to be fresh and not post something just to fill the space. &amp;nbsp;So you will see posts when I have something I am excited about and really want to share.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Thank you for following Spiral Style. &amp;nbsp;I have learned so much in many different ways since I started this blogging adventure and I especially love to read your comments. &amp;nbsp;I hope you continue to look for my posts on Facebook, as an email or in a reader.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

I purchased a beautiful bunch of cilantro this week. &amp;nbsp;It added wonderful flavor to a black bean and corn salad but I was curious as to how to use this pungent herb to flavor a cocktail&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
I found a cilantro mojito recipe &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.organicauthority.com/juicy-spirits/cilantro-cocktails-recipes.html&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;Cilantro takes the place of mint in this refreshing drink.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Place 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro leaves in a cocktail shaker along with one lime cut into eight pieces. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Muddle the herb and lime in a cocktail shaker and then remove the lime and add 1 teaspoon sugar and 1/2 ounce of simple syrup. &amp;nbsp;Add 2 ounces of white rum and 1/2 ice and shake well. &amp;nbsp;Strain into a glass and add ice, a slice of lime and a sprig of cilantro. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

I found myself with a 1/2 can of coconut milk after making my favorite Coconut Tea Cake which I blogged about &lt;a href=&quot;http://spiralstyle.blogspot.com/2009/06/coconut-tea-cake.html&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;So, I made a 1/2 recipe of this delicious, creamy coconut lime rice pudding. &amp;nbsp;Soaking the rice for a half hour before cooking the pudding helps to shorten the cook time. &amp;nbsp;Using lite coconut milk and 2% milk will decrease the fat calories of the pudding but still ensure a creamy, rich texture. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #6aa84f;&quot;&gt;Sweet comfort food!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recipe:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;ingredientsList&quot; style=&quot;list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;ingredient&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;1/2 cup white basmati rice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;ingredient&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;a 13- to 14-ounce can light unsweetened coconut milk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;ingredient&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;1 1/4 cups whole milk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;ingredient&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;1/2 cup sugar&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;ingredient&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons finely grated fresh lime zest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Lucida Grande&#39;, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10.399999618530273px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;instruction&quot; style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;In a bowl soak rice in cold water to cover 30 minutes. Drain rice in a sieve. In a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan bring coconut milk, whole milk, rice, sugar, and a pinch salt to a boil and gently simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 25 minutes. Remove pan from heat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;instruction&quot; style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Stir lime zest into pudding. Divide pudding among four 2/3-cup custard cups. Puddings may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;instruction&quot; style=&quot;padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Serve puddings warm or chilled and garnish with flaked coconut.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

In the May issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine there is a &lt;i&gt;Best List&lt;/i&gt;: Beauty &amp;amp; Style, chart of iconic colors. &amp;nbsp;These are tried and true, classic colors that flatter most and will make you happy day after day. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
These eye color sticks come in a range of 12 colors in a creamy formula that is convenient, long wearing and crease resistent. Apply with a brush or finger. &amp;nbsp;I love this product for travel or in my gym bag. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Isn&#39;t mascara mostly about the applicator? &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;&quot;&gt;Consider Sculpted Lash Mascara as lash artistry at its best. The “S” shaped brush grabs and thickly coats each lash, allowing you to sculpt, shape and style for a full-on, fanned-out effect. The nutrient-rich formula coats each lash from root to tip, ensuring your volume and shape lasts all day with no clumping or flaking. &amp;nbsp;(taken from the Sephora site)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 17px;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s true, no clumps and you can fan out your lashes for a great effect. &amp;nbsp;This product makes the most of skimpy lashes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 17px;&quot;&gt;What products and colors do you depend on?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Here is a quick, delicious, salmon recipe that exudes spring time with the addition of sugar snap peas and pea tendrils. &amp;nbsp;Asian flavors, including lots of fresh grated ginger take salmon to new heights of fantastic.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Have this on the table in about 40 minutes after coming home from work (but only 15 minutes of active time) or serve in the dining room to guests.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Ingredients:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Nonstick vegetable spray&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1/4 cup Asian sweet chili sauce&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
2 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger, divided&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
6 6-ounce salmon fillets with skin&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
2 tablespoons vegetable oil&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
3 garlic cloves, minced&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
8 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry Sherry&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
3 cups pea tendrils or pea sprouts (6 ounces)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Prep:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Line rimmed baking sheet with foil. &amp;nbsp;Coat with nonstick spray. &amp;nbsp;Whisk chili sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon ginger in small bowl. &amp;nbsp;Place salmon fillets, skin side down, on prepared sheet. &amp;nbsp;Spoon chili sauce marinade over and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Preheat broiler. &amp;nbsp;Spoon any marinade remaining on baking sheet over salmon fillets. &amp;nbsp;Broil salmon without turning until browned in spots and almost opaque in center, 6 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of fillet.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in wok or heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. &amp;nbsp;Add remaining 1 tablespoon ginger and minced garlic; stir until aromatic, about 30 seconds. &amp;nbsp;Add sugar snap peas and stir until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. &amp;nbsp;Add remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, rice wine, and pea tendrils and stir just until wilted, about 1 minutes. &amp;nbsp;Drizzle with sesame oil.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Place 1 salmon fillet on each plate. &amp;nbsp;Spoon warm pea mixture over salmon fillet and serve.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Serves 6&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

James Salter is a novelist, screenwriter, short story writer and winner of the PEN/Faulkner award. &amp;nbsp;His latest novel,&lt;i&gt; All That Is, &lt;/i&gt;tells the story of a young naval officer, Phillip Bowman, &amp;nbsp;who returns home from World War II and finds a position as an editor. &amp;nbsp;Bowman finds that he is very good at his job and fits easily into the literary lifestyle of entertaining clients, making deals, travels to Europe and dazzling social engagements. &amp;nbsp;Where he is not so successful is in love. &amp;nbsp;A failed marriage, a marriage that fails to take place and then a love that relationship that betrays him and sets him on a course he could never have imagined. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A bittersweet story of a man eluded by love in a time when a conventional world is experiencing radically changing social values. &lt;br /&gt;

I just returned from a 5 day trip to the east coast. &amp;nbsp;I traveled light with just a carry-on and limited my outerwear to just what I wore on the plane. &amp;nbsp;I choose this Banana Republic trench and keyed my footwear and other clothes accordingly. &amp;nbsp;This coat was the perfect weight and was extremely versatile. &amp;nbsp;It is very slimming and was comfortable while traveling or just taking a walk. Love the orange color which is not quite as bright as it appears in the photo, it is a bit more of a burnt orange. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Definitely worth taking a look at this coat next time you are near a Banana Republic. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

100% of the $12 purchase price will go to protecting clean water. &amp;nbsp;The candle glass is made from reclaimed beverage bottles. &amp;nbsp;The 100% organic candle ingredients have the fragrance of vanilla, cinnamon and ylang ylang. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

I&#39;m visiting with family on the east coast. &amp;nbsp;BUT if you are in southeast Michigan on Friday, be sure to checkout &lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc0000;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Girls Night Out&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in Northville, MI. &amp;nbsp;And if you do, stop by Starring The Gallery, a great place to by handcrafted art from local artists, including &lt;i&gt;moi &lt;/i&gt;! (me)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #f1c232;&quot;&gt;Have a wonderful, refreshing weekend. &amp;nbsp;See you on Monday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.finnishdesignshop.com/furniture-stools-aalto-stool-painted-seat-p-6374.html&quot;&gt;Aalto 60 stool&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Alvar Aalto designed this stool in 1933. &amp;nbsp;It is just as fresh today as it was 80 years ago. &amp;nbsp;To celebrate the anniversary, an anniversary edition is now available in the five colors you see above. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
At over $250, the Aalto 60 stool is pricey. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

This is the stool I painted for my studio.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;
Don&#39;t think of the stools just as extra seating. &amp;nbsp;They work as plant stands, side tables, nightstands too.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

I haven&#39;t had a boss, or had to be at work on time for over a decade. &amp;nbsp;I&#39;ve worked from home on my own terms. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

That all changed this week as I started to work for &lt;a href=&quot;http://shop.lululemon.com/home.jsp&quot;&gt;Lululemon&lt;/a&gt;. &amp;nbsp;I&#39;ve been wearing these workout clothes for years and even have my original purchases that are now 8 years old!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

I have a collection of these tanks. &amp;nbsp;They are my absolute favorite exercise tops. &amp;nbsp;Moisture wicking, built-in shelf bra, lightweight fabric, thin racerback straps for unrestricted movement and a long enough length t&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana, Calibri, Trebuchet, Arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;o keep the your midriff covered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

My lululemon &quot;bottoms&quot; are the yardstick I use when buying non-athletic pants. &amp;nbsp;If they don&#39;t feel as good as my lulu&#39;s, I don&#39;t want them. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

Lavender and citrus, a perfect combination for a spring-time cake. This cake has a lovely floral fragrance and taste and the citrus is subtle. &amp;nbsp;A cup of Earl Grey tea is the perfect accompaniment. &amp;nbsp;Have a piece for breakfast or serve as dessert. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
The cake is made with almond meal and polenta and uses applesauce to make it light in texture and calories. &amp;nbsp;1/10 of an 8 inch cake is 310 calories and is gluten free. &amp;nbsp;Be sure to use &lt;i&gt;culinary&lt;/i&gt; lavender.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8e7cc3;&quot;&gt;Lavender-Citrus Polenta Cake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #8e7cc3;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
4 oz butter, softened, plus extra for greasing pan&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
1/2 cup sugar&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
3 eggs&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
1/2 cup applesauce&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
2 cups almond flour, plus extra for flouring pan&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
3/4 cup fine polenta&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
1 tablespoon lemon zest&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
2 tablespoons orange zest&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
2 tablespoons culinary lavender buds&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Butter a round 8 inch cake pan and dust with almond flour. &amp;nbsp;Set aside.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine butter and sugar and beat on medium speed until fluffy and lighter in color, about 2 minutes. &amp;nbsp;Add eggs one at a time then applesauce. &amp;nbsp;Beat until combined. &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
In a separate bowl, combine flour with polenta and baking powder. &amp;nbsp;Add flour mixture, both zests and lavender to bowl of the stand mixer. &amp;nbsp;Mix on medium-low speed until just combined.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 - 40 minutes. &amp;nbsp;Cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting or turning out onto a rack to cool. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
