Sweet Honey In The Rock Tag Page

Wednesday in Heather’s Kitchen

Breakfast this morning was nothing exciting — cereal and toast for the kids, and a breakfast burrito for me. I had one lonely flour tortilla left in the fridge, so I filled it with a scrambled egg, topped with cheese and sour cream. I ate it while writing checks for bills that needed to go out today, and listening to my oldest daughter chatter away non-stop about so-and-so at school who said this or did that. Miracle of miracles, Bee actually decided to eat hot dogs at school today, so I was s

Honey, We’re Home For The Holidays

Last night we attended the much mentioned R Home For The Holidays event here in Richmond at the Virginia Historical Society and we returned home full of holiday inspiration. We were super flattered to score an invitation (due to our new “contributer” status at R Home magazine where we have a DIY decor column that launched in their holiday issue). And we were even more psyched to share a few tickets with some lucky readers. But fear not if you didn’t win or just happen to live far far away. We’r

Homemade char siu, Hainan chicken and green tea cake

Did you know that giant paperclips make great meat hooks?I didn't either, but it truly does work. And no, I don't normally make my own char siu but when it's your turn to host the travelling dinner party gang (with high standards set so far) there's an element of self-imposed pressure to feed them well.I spent days planning the menu - any excuse is a good one if it justifies reading cookbooks at bedtime, although it becomes a little dangerous if you're already feeling peckish! There were lists

The Beatles -The Complete BBC Sessions (9 CDs)

(FM broadcast mp3@192) Simply stunning box set on the Great Dane label, Italy, 1993. Catalog #9326/9. Contains every extant Beatles performance on BBC radio, from March 1962 through their final set in June 1965. Only a relatively small portion of these performances, all recorded exclusively for BBC broadcast (and thus different from the familiar LP studio versions), are otherwise available. Sound quality varies, particularly on the earlier discs, with much of the material derived from personal

Indoor Farmers Market at Westchester County Center

Just in time for the holidays. There will be five farmers markets held Sundays this winter at the county center. The dates are: November 16 and December 14, 2008, and January 4, February 8 and March 15, 2009. Hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. After the jump, the press release… Just because the temperatures have dipped and the leaves are off the trees doesn’t mean that you can’t have farm-fresh produce and products at your family’s dinner table! Once again, Westchester residents will be able to buy

The Quest for Aphrodisia: Pheromones

For the human brain, all roads lead to aphrodisia. We can be sexually stimulated through any of our five senses — thanks to a bit of imagination, memory, and a really big brain. Although mankind continues to ransack the planet for anything that might raise his expectations, the most authentic aphrodisiac is a lot closer than we think. In the morning of the world, when mortal man first encountered the original aphrodisiac, he got mixed results. Paris, a young prince of Troy, had to choose "The Fa

Anger and Self-Indulgence...

Ugh, it’s 8 pm, and I’m ready to go to bed. That’s the good thing about depression. You catch up on your sleep. Of course, the downside is, after sleeping for 14 hours you still feel like a warmed-over piece of crap in the mornings. The super-duper downside is that you are so absorbed in your own celebration of pain that you forget to fill the dog’s water bowl. The dog being the only creature that still wants to be around you as you fester in your own self-imposed misery. God, I’m a selfish assh

Hai Xiang

Hai Xiang is the flagship Chinese restaurant of Park Royal on Kitchener Road (formerly known as New Park Hotel) and offers an ala carte Cantonese cuisine and dim sum buffet for both lunch and dinner. Although I have a personal disdain for buffets, the one for one buffet voucher in my possession proved too alluring. Exterior, Interior & Menu Hai Xiang is situated on the second floor of the hotel, which is right smack in the middle of a really terrible traffic network. The restaurant's i

Like Glade Plug Ins . . . Only Not Really

vegan cleanse, I realised that I eat WAY too much meat and dairy. I won't cut it out all together, cause that's just beyond ridiculous in my opinion. I'm not worried about offending any vegetarians or vegans out there, seriously, do any PETA people even read my blog? Well if there are, you can take your preachiness elsewhere. I stand by and support Jessica Simpson. Because she eats meat, not because she's stupid. Get real people. Pay attention please. Anyways . . . I had a point for t

Good Role Models

Saw Role Models a couple nights ago with the teenage daughter, and even though I experienced slight discomfort when boobies were flashed on screen (is there ever a time when watching sex and nudity in movies with your children isn't awkward?), we both enjoyed it immensely. Paul Rudd is snide but sweet, Seann William Scott is simple but solid, and the supporting cast delivers big time. Lowbrow funny but with lots of heart, it's got a kind of 'School of Rock' meets 'Clerks II' feel. Even though t

still-hidden peacoat SOMETIME this year. Plus, I'm getting really really tired of Hubs complaining about our electric bill, and my carbon footprint is likely the size of China. Waiting for your timely response, Someone who doesn't enjoy sweating in November. *** Dear this week's episode of L.A.

However, this week was an excep

on the side

I don't normally post about side dishes on their own, but I had two recently that were a bit unique, so I thought I'd toss them in together, as it were.First up, carroty goodness. Normally I see carrots steamed or with brown sugar and butter and I like to see them done differently. These are a tasty twist that provide a real punch of flavor. Sweet and smoky. I made these with my wonderful Mahi Mahi, assuming that I wanted to match the cumin in the carrots with a main dish that had somewhat of

Heidi Glitzythighs

Wednesday, November 12, 2008 I’ve decided that we all need James Bond femme fatale names.  The women in the movies are always named Pussy Galore and Honey Rider and Holly Goodhead.  And, in spite of (or because of) their ridiculous names, they always get this guy: … and this guy: … and of course this guy: What?  You thought I was going to post my usual favorite photo of Bond in a swimsuit?  Okay, just for kicks, I will: You’re welcome. So, on the off chance that having new names will help u

Juicy Couture New York flagship store opening party. Text and photos by Glenn Belverio.

Above: Horny wall candy--Juicy's whimsical take on English hunting lodge trappings. Dear Shaded Viewers, Somehow I managed to get invited to the uber-exclusive opening of New York's new Juicy Couture flagship on Madison Avenue by power publicist Nadine Johnson. Yes dolls, New York still knows how to throw a party despite the rotten economy and this was definitely the soiree of the season. JC's new space is positively beautiful and the bash's general vibe seemed to ride on the ecstatic Obam
