Things I Love!

These are the 9 things I love!

1. Chinese Sharpei dogs. I have had 3 Sharpei's  - 2 pure and 1 mix. There are just the cutest things! Even the company is named after one of them " Beari"  A Sharpei was in the Best in Show at Westminister this year! Westminister

2. Porsche - Boxster convertible in white of course.

3. Daniel Craig ( I don't love him in a stalker way.  I just like to look ) Who can resist James Bond? On facebook there is even a fan site for " A Daily Dose of Daniel."

4. Child Perfume I have been wearing this for years.

5. Chan Luu bracelets. It is the start of my new Boho look - curly hair and all.

6. Raw Food. Sarma is my inspiration and raw food goddess. One of my favorite places to go is her restaurant in NYC - Pure Food and Wine and her store One Lucky Duck.  I was totally into raw and was 80% raw for 8 months. I really want to get back to it.  I love juicing. The best energy drink is kale, avocado and lemon. A must have is a Vitamix

7. Gucci purses. I love this orange one for spring.

8. Of course, my ipad. How did I live without one?

9. Clothes by catherine malandrino. I bought some great tops for spring.

Raw in NYC!

On my last trip to NYC one of my primary goals was to eat at Pure Wine and Food and visit the One Lucky Duck Store. I love Sarma's cookbook. Her recipes are yummy, tasty and fairly easy to make. I have been eating raw for about 8 months then blew it. I wanted some inspiration to get started again. Raw food made me feel so much better  - more energy, less acid, better skin, wrinkles are gone! 

The restaurant is located at 54 Irving Place. 

This was our menu for the evening: 

 My first course: tomato/watermelon tartare. The pistachios tasted like pieces of bacon. Tons of flavor!

                                              

My husbands first course was the polenta. He said it was the best thing he had to eat for the whole NYC trip and he doesn't even eat raw! 

His main course was tamales and mine was zucchini fettucini. Beautifully presented and tasty as well. I did not get a chance to photograph the strawberry shortcake we had for dessert because - well - we ate it before I realized a needed a photo!  YUMMY! 

I can't wait for the new cookbook. Buy it now at Amazon!
