<span style="background-color: white;">Have you heard that a new line of <i>eponymous</i> vitamins has been launched this month? (I've been dying to use that word for ages, soooo English and so ubiquitous in the mags these days.)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">This month Martha Stewart added a line of vitamins to her ever-growing list of lifestyle products that carry her name. It's the <a href="http://www.themarthablog.com/2013/08/introducing-martha-stewart-essentials-my-new-line-of-supplements.html" target="_blank"> Martha Stewart Essentials</a> line of supplements. There are a gazillion brands of vitamins out there (none of which stand out to me) and I think that this might be the first vitamin to have such a familiar face on the label.</span><br />

Along with their beautiful art collection and charming outdoor dining the Albright Knox had an interesting staircase.<br />

" Home Arts " that I had learned woodworking and all that goes with it- the drilling, the hammering, the spackling, the repairs, the plumbing. (OK <i>maybe</i> not plumbing.)<br />
<br />
Life would be so much easier if I could just fix/paint/create things for the house instead of having to hire someone.... Now Martha Stewart (of course) is making that possible by partnering with....<br />

We just spent a wonderful day walking / biking the pier in <a href="http://www.stearnswharf.org/" target="_blank">Stearn's Wharf</a> in <a href="http://www.go-california.com/santa-barbara/?gclid=CNaN_9Ovl7YCFSHZQgod9jkABA" target="_blank">Santa Barbara</a>.

We took a short break and were lucky to meet a Crab person? getter? catcher? whatever.... His tee shirt had "Got crabs?" emblazoned on it --- of course. He invited us to see his catch of crabs for the day.<br />
It was impressive to say the least.<br />

<br />
Some of the Facts:<br />
1. All <a href="http://www.crab-o-licious.com/red-rock-crab.html#sthash.psRQw7Ie.dpbs" target="_blank"> red rock crabs</a>.<br />
2. He can haul in any thing from 1200 lbs. to 2000 lbs at the height of the season!<br />
3. Today the haul was 1600 lbs. <br />
4. These crabs don't seem to be in any danger ecologically. There are lots to be found.<br />
5. When he sets traps he puts in 100 lbs. frozen bait.<br />
6. A few days later he uses a hydraulic sort of crane to lift them out of the water.<br />
7. Then he dumps them into plastic bins inside a big vat of ice water to knock them out a bit.<br />
8. Boat full of crabs heads back to the pier to be unloaded and delivered to customers! <br />
<br />
Santa Barbara was beautiful and we had such a great time with our friends!!<br />
<br />
The beach was beautiful too.<br />

I'm in California now so I thought it would be fitting to write a post about fresh orange juice.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
Want to know a secret to making beautiful and delicious and fresh Orange Juice? You don't have to use only "juice" oranges to make it. Juice oranges by the way, are the ugly oranges at the grocers. They are meant for squeezing. For a unique flavor and color, I mix in other varieties.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
I used:</div>
<div>
12 <a href="http://www.pearsonranch.com/juice-oranges.html" target="_blank">juice oranges</a> - your basic orange orange when sliced open</div>
<div>
2 <a href="http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-blood-orange.htm" target="_blank">blood red oranges</a> - a rich red meaty looking pulp</div>
<div>
2 <a href="http://www.sunkist.com/products/cara-cara-oranges.aspx" target="_blank">Cara-Cara orange </a>- new orange, pink on the inside and so juicy. can be eaten on its own like a navel orange.</div>
<div>
<br />
I always wash the oranges first - because god knows who has been touching them along the way to the grocer's refrigerated section. Once all are sliced in half I start the juicing process with my well-used Braun juicer. <br />
<br /></div>
<div>
There are lots of different oranges out there you can also use:</div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.sunkist.com/products/oranges.aspx" target="_blank">tangerines</a> </div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.sunkist.com/products/oranges.aspx" target="_blank">temple</a> (These have a funny nob on one end)</div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.sunkist.com/products/oranges.aspx" target="_blank">valencia </a></div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.sunkist.com/products/oranges.aspx" target="_blank">navel</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I add the blood oranges when I can find them. It's got a meaty pulp and it has a certain tang to it that takes the edge off the sweetness of the juice oranges. An added bonus is the beautiful red pulp that makes the mix of orange juice look so good and refreshing. For more on the different varieties check out this link at <a href="http://mycitrustree.com/orange-varieties.html" target="_blank">my citrus tree</a>.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I find it only lasts 2 days maximum. Any longer and it gets a funny taste- still drinkable but never as good as the day you squeeze it.<br />
<br />
Now go out and buy yourself some oranges and get juicing people!!<br />
<br />
P.S. It's killing me here... Everywhere I go there is some lemon tree just sitting in someone's front yard. The fragrance is crazy good you just have to stop, breathe it in and enjoy the moment.</div>

The cover photograph is such a beautiful arrangement and there are lots more inside. What makes . all the arrangements inside so perfect is their imperfection in scale and balance. I would like to be able to put together flowers like that one day!! In the meantime I photographed some beautiful NY-arranged flowers I had in the house. Here is my own version... Flowers on their last legs. I love the fragility of color and the effort to remain intact....<br />

Also in this issue were some fabulous ideas for beading with precious gems. I haven't yet had a chance to try my hand at these but here are some of the photos from Living.<br />

It may seem like you have to live in New York to find supplies but now with the internet it's so easy to find the materials you need. Another idea was the use of ribbons and brocade trim:</div>

The people at Living always share their resources. For this story they used <a href="http://www.mjtrim.com/" target="_blank">mj trim</a><span style="line-height: 14.545454025268555px;"><span style="color: #009933; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">where they sell great ribbon, buttons and trim.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 14.545454025268555px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
I have a few other resources for ribbon and trim that I love too. Both are worthy of posts of their own, but for now:<br />
<br />
1. <a href="http://www.mokubany.com/" target="_blank">Mokuba</a> a Japanese ribbon store<br />
2. <a href="http://hymanhendler.com/" target="_blank">Hyman Hendler</a> Been around forever. They carry not only the basics and novelty but vintage ribbons as well.<br />

I scored big time today! I've been looking for just the right sized shelves for the bathroom in our new rental... I really wanted something somewhat unique but I had finally succumbed to the idea that I would spend $100 on an Ikea <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60177717/" target="_blank"> limhamn shelf</a><br />

Don't get me wrong -- I love Ikea but it can be so identifiable which is fine for a few things but I think I've reached the limit. <br />
<br />
So I confess: I found this piece on the street this morning!! OK I know about the evil bed bug thing but someone in my building was throwing it away so I feel safe...<br />

I couldn't resist looking for it on ebay. It was easy to find even though there is no label on it. People were asking between $70 and $200... so I feel like I won the lottery today.<br />

Last week, to my disappointment, I missed the<a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/complete/F2013RTW-JCREW" target="_blank"> Fall 2013 J. Crew fashion show</a>. Other responsibilities came up so instead we're going to talk this season. These are photos taken last September at the Fashion Show at Lincoln Center for <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2013RTW-JCREW/" target="_blank">Spring 2013</a>.... We're starting to see the beautiful designs in-store now, so check out what you have to look forward to!!<br />

I had to have this<a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/ingoodcompany/Liberty/PRDOVR~40146/40146.jsp" target="_blank"> J. Crew Liberty print shirt.</a>.. J. Crew did the coolest thing.

For this past trip to Paris en famille it was new year's day and we headed up the hill to Montmartre. Almost like a Spring Day--the kids saw the performers (this dude below was the best). We all climbed up and down lots of stairs and they got to see the Artists for which Montmartre is famous.... Could be considered a bit shlocky (sp?) but fun all the same!! <br />

Friday was a snowy and blustery night and totally worth trudging through the snow to see the Fashion show for A Detacher, a beautiful line of clothing designed by Mona Kowalska in New York City. <br />
It was a beautiful show and because there are tons of professional photographers there you should go to this <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/F2013RTW-ADETACH" target="_blank">link</a> and see the line in its entirety.<br />
<br />
I took a few of my own pics too.<br />

The models all had versions of mussed mullet cuts and bangs cropped high on the forehead. There were some beautiful pieces. Loved the black striped poncho top, map prints and denim pieces! As usual, Mona's beautiful sweaters and dresses were my favorites.<br />

We arrived in Paris Sunday morning and went straight to brunch chez des amis...our french friends who live in NYC but home in paris for the holidays...They happen to live next to an over the top "epic" marché. So pathetic next to our New York Farmer's MArket... I guess we are years behind the French in this regard... Anyway- two years ago we went to <a href="http://cinderellapatch.blogspot.fr/2011/01/paris-day-2-le-marche-des-enfants.html" target="_blank">le marché des enfants rouge</a>... this year a 5 min visit to marche beauvais in the 12th arrondissement. I wanted to stay longer!!<br />

Before taking off for Paris, we visited the <a href="http://www.centrepompidou-metz.fr/" target="_blank">Centre Pompidou in Metz</a> over the weekend. (We've been staying with my in-laws in Lorainne... ) The exhibits were not especially scintillating and definitely too much for les deux petites but I did like the architecture of the building and the Sol Lewitt exhibit was pretty cool to see.<br />

And drum roll please: Now J. Crew covers the gamut from Michele Obama to BEYONCE ( I know there's an accent on the last E but beats me how I can get it on there) Apparently her sister Salonge is a big J. Crew fan and wore one of the J. Crew pieces by Prabal Gurung. Guess Salonge thought it would be fun to bring here sister along.... it was sure fun for all of us snapping away but I'm too short to get a very good pic of Beyonce. This was the best I could get!! <br />

So this ends the J. Crew experience for now. It was lots of fun to see and be there for all the excitement.</div>

I hate coming up with menus.... How do I balance greenery vs. starch vs. protein vs. the rich factor? I recently made popovers which are always a hit. I decided to record it here as a reminder and put it out there for others who don't want to think too much about a menu.<br />
<br />
First let's talk Popovers I use a recipe from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/New-Best-Recipe-All-New/dp/0936184744/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329851137&sr=8-1" target="_blank">1000 Best Recipes.</a> It is very important to stick to the recipe and in particular, the waiting times. A real chemical reaction is taking place and you want those popovers to just spilleth over their cup! If the batter (must be smooth and bubbly) sits at room temperature for at least 30 minutes you are good to go.<br />

Adapted from <u>The New Best Recipe</u> by the editors of Cook's Illustrated <br />
<br />
The Ingredients:<br />
<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 cup whole milk <br />
1 cup all-purpose flour<br />
1/2 tsp salt<br />
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (just barely in the microwave otherwise you face explosion)<br />
1 tbsp vegetable oil ( I prefer canola)<br />
<br />
1. In a large bowl whisk the eggs and whole milk together until well combined about 20 seconds <br />
2. In a medium bowl whisk together all dry ingredients: flour and salt.<br />
3. Combine dry ingredients and eggs and whole milk mixture until just combined and lumpy.<br />
4. Add somewhat cooled-off melted butter and whisk until the batter is smooth and little bubbles rise to the top. This should take about 30 seconds.<br />
5. LET BATTER SIT AT ROOM TEMP FOR 1/2 HOUR - This is when and where the magic (and the chemical reaction) happens!<br />
<br />
While that is burbling:<br />
1. Set oven to 450 degrees and move oven rack to lowest position.<br />
2. Using a popover pan, fill each cup with 1/2 tsp of vegetable oil (see photo above) swirl around the oil as best you can.<br />
3. Place in oven in order to get that pan and the oil piping hot.<br />
<br />
Once batter has rested 30 minutes,<br />
1. Pour into a pitcher (makes about 2 cups).<br />
2. Take pan out of oven and quickly pour batter evenly into each popover cup. Aim for the middle of the cup so that oil surrounds batter as you pour it in. This way less likely to stick to the pan...<br />
3. <br />
<br />
<br />
As a main course I use the Tomato Zucchini Fritatta recipe from one of my favorite publications ( of the Martha Stewart variety) Food Magazine, a fruit salad, usually red berries and lemon juice and to top it off fresh fresh orange juice...<br />
<br />
And orange juice doesn't have to be just Florida juice oranges... I experiment with all kinds of combos but my fave is mixxing juice oranges, cara cara oranges, tangerines and one or two blood oranges to add a little tang to the juice. It is the most beautiful red orange juice and sooo delicious.<br />

Confession: These photos were taken last summer and somehow never made it to the blog. I missed picking season this summer but I'm determined to catch it next summer!!<br />
<br />
I plan on making a pectin-free version of strawberry jam using the recipe from the book <a href="http://bluechairfruit.com/blue-chair-jam-cookbook/" target="_blank">Blue Chair Jam Cookbook by Rachel Saunders</a>. I had some of her jam at<a href="http://cinderellapatch.blogspot.com/2011/07/tinys-restaurant-in-nyc-tiny-in-name.html" target="_blank"> Tiny's Restaurant </a>and it was honestly the best tasting jam...<br />
<br />
Nothing prettier than a strawberry patch....<br />
