February 1, 2011 at 8:35 amMy fiance and I just had to cancel our big honeymoon this week due to finances and instead decided to spend four nights in Monterey/Carmel. Looking through your pictures has made me so much more excited for it! Thanks for sharing and igniting my excitement!
February 1, 2011 at 8:47 amIt dawned on me last night, when I was watching "What Happens In Vegas," that you totally look like Cameron Diaz. You probably get that a lot, but I thought I'd share my revelation, haha.
February 1, 2011 at 9:00 amThese are beautiful! My favorite was #59, God's Painting, so pretty!! I too would love to know the coding for this feature to add to my blog!

February 1, 2011 at 9:07 amYou've conveyed the mystical ambiance of Carmel more than any other photographs I've seen. Just breathtaking. And the feeling of living history here. Love the seagulls so much. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDbToBxhZUo
February 1, 2011 at 10:29 amThe seagull shots are my favorite too! You have become such a talented photographer, Jenna!
Thanks for sharing!

February 1, 2011 at 9:15 amLOVE LOVE LOVE your pictures. They feel so "fresh". I'm weird. HAHA 🙂
February 1, 2011 at 9:19 amCute! Love your clothes… lots of Anthropologie? I want that sweater and scarf.
As Boston get walloped with another gigantic storm… I want to be in California!!! Sigh. Time for a vacation.
Joelle (The Pancake Girl)
February 1, 2011 at 9:26 amI forget did you ever take photography courses? Your photos are amazing!
Makes me want to get to California asap also, instead of the freezing East Coast!
February 1, 2011 at 9:27 am*sigh* looks wonderful!
*Sigh* my next vacation is not for a long time.
February 1, 2011 at 9:33 amI LOVE your photographs and always look forward to these photo recaps from your trips, etc. It is a bit slow to click through the full size images (not sure if there is any way around that…besides speed my connection somehow!?) but otherwise, I love the way you are able to present all your amazing shots on the blog this way.
February 1, 2011 at 9:37 amThat spinach gnocchi is so colorful! Was it wrapped in spinach, or was the actual dough that color?
February 1, 2011 at 9:41 amStunning photos.
February 1, 2011 at 9:47 amLove the pics…
February 1, 2011 at 10:04 amI can't believe you went to Casanova! I worked there for about a year before I went to culinary school, so it holds a very special place in my heart.
And good choice on the gnocchi, it's a signature on the menu and fun to make :). Did you get to see the van gogh table and/or wine cellar while you were there?
February 26, 2012 at 8:34 pmDo you have any idea how to make that Gnocchi – It is by far my most favorite out to eat treat – we just came from Carmel this weekend – had it for lunch on Friday and am determined to learn how to make it.
Natalia - a side of simple
February 1, 2011 at 10:16 amTake me with you next time? please? I will bring favorites like wine, dvds, chocolate, and an appetite 🙂
February 1, 2011 at 10:22 amBeautiful pictures Jenna! Looks like it was a great weekend…
February 1, 2011 at 10:35 amJenna,
Your pictures are gorgeous! You may have a future career in photography on the side.
I have my Savannah wellness blog up and running….finally! Go check it out if you get a moment. ***Send it to your parents…I'll be posting lots of local food/wellness events there. 🙂 Hope to catch up with you next time you get back down south.
February 1, 2011 at 10:36 amBTW….if you need me to send you some tea from Savannah Tea room, say the word.

February 1, 2011 at 10:36 amSo pretty! pictures, landscape, you, food….le sigh.
February 1, 2011 at 10:54 amI LOVED the "walk these halls" photo…that was gorgeous. I also liked Adam's chicken pot pie…that things was enormous!!!
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen
February 1, 2011 at 11:13 amOhh love these!! Of course, obsessed with the first caramel photo. Nom.
February 1, 2011 at 11:50 amhi jenna! i have been reading for almost 2 years, but this is my first time commenting. i just wanted to tell you that i LOVE the direction you've taken your blog over the past six months or so. when i first found food blogs, i was struggling with food and exercise. i am in a much healthier (re: saner) place now, and i feel like your blog has grown with me. thank you for continuing to write and share!
ps – i made the mint oreos last weekend… DIVINE!
February 1, 2011 at 4:12 pmHi Jenna – I'm trying to figure out why I dislike my camera so much (Nikon D80), I'm starting to think it's the lens I'm using. Your photos are really great, what kind of camera + lens did you use for these? I think I need something like an f/ 1.4, perhaps.
February 1, 2011 at 6:55 pmHow did you like Casanova?! I'm planning a trip out that way to see my brother and when I was searching restaurants that one was at the top of my list!!
February 1, 2011 at 8:01 pmahh! you went to carmel! my friend has been telling me how gorgeous it is over there and your pictures definitely don't lie. 🙂
it sounds like you had a glorious time. i love, love all your pictures, but i think the one that stood out for me the most was the mango iced tea in mason jars one. simply beautiful!
February 2, 2011 at 8:22 amIf you love the mango iced tea and are ever back in Charleston the new restaurant on King Street, Boones, has a delicious one!

Find a dating app that matches your needs
By The Washington Post Published: Friday, Jan. 3, 2014, 8:57 p.m.
"Are you seeing anyone?"
Perhaps you heard that inquiry from a well-meaning aunt, cousin or yenta-of-some-relation over a recent holiday meal.
If the answer was "No, but I'm looking," your phone is a good place to search.
Before a dating app can help you find the
right match, though, you have to find the right match in a dating app.
And there's a growing number of options to sort out.
To streamline your quest, we looked at six
popular apps and considered whether its users are typically looking for a
serious commitment, the time required to set up a profile, how long the
"courtship" period lasts before users meet and the number of daily
matches that are delivered.
OkCupid is one of the largest free online
dating sites, boasting more than 4 million active users. Created by a
group of Harvard mathematicians and launched in 2004, OkCupid matches
daters using a special algorithm generated by user activity and answers
to questions.
In 2009, the site launched OkTrends, a
data-driven blog that explores online dating trends based on what was
learned from millions of OkCupid user interactions (example: "How your
race affects the messages you get"). It has received more than 1 million
views. OkCupid was acquired for $50 million in 2011 by IAC, which
operates the dating site Match.com.
Rating: Goal 4, Preparation 3, Face-to-face 3, Matches 5
It took moving to New York as a postgrad
for Michael Waxman to realize how easy he had it in college when it came
to finding dates and making friends. In 2011, he founded the group-date
app Grouper. Users sign up through Facebook and pick a trio of friends;
Grouper plans a meeting with a set of three other friends at a local
Each date costs $20 per person and includes
one round of drinks at the establishment, which is selected by Grouper.
Fun is the main priority, Waxman stresses. So daters looking for a
party atmosphere will be pleased. Those looking for a quieter,
one-on-one interaction might feel overwhelmed. The average age of
Groupers is 26, and nearly all have a bachelor's degree.
Rating: Goal 2, Preparation 1, Face-to-face 1, Matches 1
Tinder, launched in 2012, is a free app
that searches for singles based on the user's location. Tinder is linked
to Facebook, so users can easily upload head shots from their account
and are able to see shared friends and interests. The premise is pretty
superficial: Users make snap judgments based on photos, swiping right to
approve a potential match and left to bypass one.
Notifications about matches aren't sent
unless both users approve of each other, so it's good for those with a
fear of rejection. The site has, on average, 5 million new matches and
400 million profile ratings per day. The biggest audience is 18- to
24-year-olds, co-founder Justin Mateen said. It's easy to download, and
there's no extensive profile required, which has made it popular among
college students — and, perhaps, those less interested in devoting time
to dating.

Coffee Meets Bagel
Coffee Meets Bagel's founders — sisters
Arum and Dawoon Kang, both 30, and Soo Kang, 33 — thought the online
dating market lacked something: products that really understand the way
women want to date. Women "hate wasting money or time on dating
products," Dawoon said, "and ... we look for not necessarily marriage
but meaningful connections."
The app's setup is simple: It uses Facebook
networks to match potential dates (friends-of-friends matches are 37
percent more likely to result in mutual interest than
nonfriends-of-friends matches). Users fill out a pretty bare-bones
profile, with some multiple-choice questions about religion, ethnicity
and age range, plus a few prompts, such as "I appreciate when a date is
... " completed in 150 characters or fewer.
Then, every day at noon, users get a
"bagel," or match. Coffee Meets Bagel also sets up a private line to
allow text messaging without revealing personal phone numbers. Matches
expire after 24 hours, so thumb-twiddlers need not apply. The site
launched last year with 200 of the Kangs' friends and grew through word
of mouth. It now has 150,000 users nationwide. That user base skews
smart, young and professional.
Rating: Goal 4, Preparation 2, Face-to-face 2, Matches 1
Grindr, a free app designed exclusively
for single "gay, bisexual and curious" men, according to the site,
helped launch the geosocial dating app trend back in 2009. Grindr
locates potential matches based on geographic proximity; users judge
each other based primarily on head shots. The niche app tops 1.2 million
active users who exchange more than 30 million messages daily.
Rating: Goal 3, Preparation 1, Face-to-face 2, Matches 5
Hinge aims to connect Facebook users to a
pool of their friends' friends. The app — available in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Washington — creates a profile by pulling names,
recent photos and "likes" from Facebook, to which users — mostly in
their late 20s and early 30s — can append self-selected "personality
tags." Each day at noon, users receive a set of five to seven potential
matches (who each share a Facebook friend with the user), along with a
prompt to give a "heart" or an "X" to each match. Mutual hearts result
in an introduction e-mail from Hinge, complete with a location
suggestion for a first date.

About MERCHANT & FOUND
Seller Location
Hampshire, Hampshire
The team at Merchant & Found have been involved in cutting edge design and vintage for over twenty years working for brands such as Habitat, The Conran Shop and Pedlars amongst others and we have been privileged to work with some of the best designers in the world. We source 'must have' finds throughout Europe specialising in mainly Twentieth Century furniture, lighthing and object, but always on the lookout for the unusual and pioneering the new looks. Over the years special finds have been spotted in all the best interiors magazines, and today the business is a thriving online hub selling to vintage aficionados all over the world.
The DNA of what we stand for is pretty simple. We have been immersed in 'home' for many years and ultimately our Merchant and Found compass is guided by a few simple beliefs.
Vintage. It has been gathering momentum for many years and we are true believers. If a piece has been made well designed and well made, then yes it's great to have it new but it can be even better to have it old, an old piece has soul, it has the scars of life and can tell so many stories. We particularly look for pieces with an industrial heritage, mostly 20th century, built to last, by makers who are either still going or have sadly stopped producing. Britain and Europe has a rich heritage of industrial vintage and we want to bring it alive. Where we know the maker we will let you know, we spend a lot of time researching and hope we can pass that knowledge on. We keep a running list of brands we love, both old and new, in our 'brands' section.
New. We have spent a lifetime working with some of the worlds great home brands and we are slowly and surely partnering with the ones we believe offer that something special. They have a history of timeless design, a quality of product and a way of doing business. We love combining old and new and as we find our feet and our business grows we will introduce more new to complement the old. A vintage table looks amazing with the right new contemporary chairs. A bold contemporary table can be softened with vintage chairs.
Design. We have a deep love of Design. We respect the old and love the new. We love contemporary design but try to see beyond what is on trend and prefer what will be here in years to come. Historical design gives us a huge head start in this respect, the designs that survive and flourish are timeless, beautifully made, fit for purpose and above all great to look at. They have soul.
Editors. From all of the above you could say we are editors. At Merchant & Found we are bringing you our vision of products that we love to live with, to use every day, to bring pleasure in daily life.
We have been unashamedly selfish in selecting what we love. Architects believe (quite rightly) that a well designed space can enrich the experience of those that use their buildings, more often without even realising it. The proportions of a room, the use of light and space all fundamentally influence our enjoyment. We believe that the furniture and objects you use everyday do the same, they are part of your DNA and chosen well, should enrich your every day life.
Lastly, we take care to service (not restore) what we sell. Everything comes to you ready for it's next chapter.
We have a warehouse and workshop in Hook, Hampshire, you are always very welcome to visit but please just check with us that we are in.

Internet companies that receive U.S. government requests for information about their customers will be able to disclose more details about surveillance than has been allowed, according to a deal announced today by the Justice Department.
The shift will allow technology and communications companies "to publish the aggregate data ... relating to any orders issued pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA)" — and in more ways than had been previously allowed.
While the agreement gives tech companies more options in publishing data about government requests for information, it also includes several limitations. For instance, delays of six months and two years are required for some types of information.
The agreement also specifies the "bands" of numbers the companies can use in reporting "national security processes." For instance, if a company decides to report all actions by individual type, such as National Security Letters or FISA orders, it would have to do so in groups of 1,000. But if the company reports those actions as a batch, it can do so "in bands of 250."
The shift, which was reflected in filings today with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, or FISC, is part of President Obama's plan to change how U.S. intelligence agencies gather data, according to a government release announcing the change.
Earlier this month, the president discussed several reforms to the U.S. intelligence apparatus, calling on federal agencies to change how they collect, store and use data about American citizens.
Update at 6:40 p.m. ET: Reaction To The Change
"It is a big deal, but it's only a first step," says staff attorney Nate Cardozo of online privacy advocate the Electronic Frontier Foundation, speaking to our Newscast unit about today's announcement.
He adds, "We were really looking for an agreement where they could disclose the exact number of requests that they'd gotten."
As for what effect the change might have, Cardozo says he thinks people may soon have a better idea of "the scope of the surveillance state in this country."
"All of these requests are made in secret," Cardozo says of U.S. agencies' requests for information, "and none of the targets of the requests will be notified that the government is seeking their data. But we as the American public will start to know more about the number of times that the government comes to the tech companies" looking for citizens' data.
Our original post continues:
Today's move comes weeks after NSA officials said they would welcome a public advocate at the FISA court, as Mark reported for The Two-Way.
Several companies had sought to release more of that information, hoping to reassure their customers they weren't giving U.S. spy agencies broad and unfettered access to their databases and systems — a possibility that arose from the recent revelations about U.S. spy programs included in documents given to the media by former U.S. contractor Edward Snowden.
Papers filed today with the FISC seek to answer several tech companies' requests to publish the aggregate information under a First Amendment right. The companies named in the papers are Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook and LinkedIn.
Here's the full statement from the Justice Department, released on behalf of Attorney General Eric Holder and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper:
"As indicated in the Justice Department's filing with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the administration is acting to allow more detailed disclosures about the number of national security orders and requests issued to communications providers, the number of customer accounts targeted under those orders and requests, and the underlying legal authorities. Through these new reporting methods, communications providers will be permitted to disclose more information than ever before to their customers.
"This action was directed by the President earlier this month in his speech on intelligence reforms. While this aggregate data was properly classified until today, the office of the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with other departments and agencies, has determined that the public interest in disclosing this information now outweighs the national security concerns that required its classification.
"Permitting disclosure of this aggregate data addresses an important area of concern to communications providers and the public. But more work remains on other issues. In the weeks ahead, additional steps must be taken in order to fully implement the reforms directed by the President.
"The declassification reflects the Executive Branch's continuing commitment to making information about the Government's intelligence activities publicly available where appropriate and is consistent with ensuring the protection of the national security of the United States."

For the past 9 months, you've been getting ready for your baby's arrival. But now that you're bringing home your bundle of joy, you may feel a little anxious. How will you ever remember everything you learned about what to expect in those first few weeks? Even the best-prepared parents may be surprised by a few things that are quite normal in newborns.
These common spots and stains may be present at birth and are usually harmless. Many eventually disappear on their own:
Stork bite (nevus flammeus.) This is seen on the forehead or on the back of the neck, or both. This mark almost always disappears as the child grows.
Mongolian spot (congenital dermal melanocytosis). This is a birthmark that may look like a bruise. It appears over the lower back and upper buttocks on darker pigmented babies. This spot often disappears by age 5 or 6.
Mole (congenital nevus). Moles don't disappear and may grow larger over time.
Port wine stain. This is a red to purple mark that may appear anywhere on the body, but often on the face. This mark tends to grow larger over time.
It's not uncommon to see a tiny bit of blood in your daughter's diaper for the first couple of weeks. This tiny bit of vaginal bleeding happens when the baby adjusts to the lack of mother's hormones once she's out of the womb.
Mom's hormones may cause baby's breast tissue to grow slightly in both girls and boys. These lumps may last for a few months, but should then go away.
You've probably been told that your baby's umbilical cord stump will fall off on its own. But, it will turn yellow and then brown or black first.
Newborns' bodies are ruled by reflexes. So, your baby won't be able to control most movements very well for the first few months. His or her chin, arms, or legs may seem shaky, especially when crying.
Rashes and other skin conditions are common in newborns. Here's a look at several:
Acne. Newborn acne or pimples can break out on the baby's face, usually around 2 to 3 weeks old. The cause is unknown, but it seems to be associated with maternal hormones that pass from the placenta to the baby during pregnancy. The acne may worsen by 1 month old but generally goes away without treatment. It may be helpful to gently wash the baby's face once a day with a mild soap to keep milk residue off the skin.
Cradle cap. Cradle cap looks like scaly white or yellow patches on the scalp. These patches are usually gone in a few months. In severe cases, the rash can spread onto the body, causing greasy red bumps. Removing the flakes from the scalp with a soft brush during bath time can help prevent it from worsening.
Erythema toxicum. This is a reddish-colored rash with small yellowish-white raised bumps in the center. It may be seen on the face, trunk, legs, and arms. The rash may appear within the first couple of days after birth and last for about a week. It typically disappears without any treatment.
Milia. These tiny white bumps can appear on your baby's face. They will go away in a few weeks.
Healthy newborns average 40 breaths a minute. Adults take 12 to 18 breaths a minute. An infant's breathing may pause for up to 10 seconds. Then, the baby starts breathing again.
The 2 soft areas on your baby's head are known as fontanelles. They will be there until the bones in the skull fuse together. When your child cries, they may bulge. The soft spots may pulse along with the baby's heartbeat.
If you feel your child is ill or if something just doesn't seem right, call your healthcare provider.
Follow these tips to reduce the risk for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and sleep-related deaths from birth to age 1:
Get prenatal care. Routine prenatal care is important for reducing the risk for SIDS.
Breastfeed your baby. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends breastmilk only for at least 6 months. And the group recommends that you keep breastfeeding for a year or longer if you can.
Make sure your baby is immunized. A baby who is fully immunized is at lower risk for SIDS.
Babies should be placed on their back for sleep or naps. Babies should put down for all sleep on their back until age 1. This can reduce the risk for SIDS, aspiration, and choking. Babies should not be placed on their side or belly for sleep or naps. Babies should be given supervised time on their bellies to help develop strong belly and neck muscles. This will also help minimize flattening of the head that can happen when babies spend so much time on their backs.
Babies diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux (GERD or heartburn) may need the head of their crib raised. Always talk with your baby's healthcare provider before doing this.
Offer babies a pacifier for sleeping or naps, if they aren't breastfed. If breastfeeding, delay introducing pacifier until breastfeeding has been firmly established.
Use a firm mattress covered by a tightly fitted sheet to prevent gaps between the mattress and the sides of a crib, a play yard, or a bassinet. This can reduce the risk for entrapment, suffocation, and SIDS.
Share your room instead of your bed with your baby. Putting your baby in bed with you raises the risk for strangulation, suffocation, entrapment, and SIDS. Bed sharing is not recommended for twins or other higher multiples. Babies should sleep in the same room as their parents, close to their parent's bed, but in a separate bed or crib appropriate for infants. This sleeping arrangement is recommended ideally for the baby's first year, but should at least be maintained for the first 6 months.
Don't use infant seats, car seats, strollers, carriers, and swings for routine sleep and daily naps. These may lead to blocking of an infant's airway or suffocation.
Don't place infants on a couch or armchair for sleep. Sleeping on a couch or armchair puts the infant at much higher risk of death, including SIDS.
Don't use illegal drugs, drink alcohol, or smoke during pregnancy or after birth. Keep your baby away from others who are smoking and areas where others smoke.
Don't overdress or cover babies face or head. This will prevent them from getting overheated, reducing the risks for SIDS.
Don't use loose blankets or soft objects. Don't use bumper pads, pillows, comforters, or blankets in baby's crib or bassinet. This helps prevent suffocation, strangulation, entrapment, or SIDS.
Don't use cardiorespiratory monitors and commercial devices. Don't use wedges, positioners, or special mattresses to help decrease the risk for SIDS and sleep-related infant deaths. These devices have not been shown to prevent SIDS. In rare cases, they have led to the death of an infant.
Always place cribs, bassinets, and play yards in hazard-free areas. To reduce the risk for strangulation, be sure there are no dangling cords, wires, or window coverings.

1 1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
1 egg, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
6 oz semisweet chocolate chunks*
Preheat the oven to 350. Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a medium sized bowl combine flour, salt, and baking powder. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and combine thoroughly. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sweetened butter and mix until a very thick dough forms. Use a spoon to fold in the chunks then the pomegranates and distributing both evenly. Form cookies by dropping 1 heaping teaspoon of dough on the sheet two inches apart. Flatten slightly then bake until light brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool on wire racks (if you can wait that long) then serve with plenty of cold milk.
*In the past I have a hard time finding high quality chocolate chunks but lately, I have been able to find Scharffen Berger chocolate chunks in both 62% Cacao Semisweet and 70% Cacao Bittersweet varieties at well-stocked grocery stores. I bet they will be even easier to find now that it is the holiday season so keep an eye out!
My thoughts:
Sweet+tart=delightful cookies. I have never seen much less had pomegranate cookies before but I had a bunch of pomegranate seeds (arils) that I had liberated from 3 pomegranates and decided to give it a shot. I am glad I did! The pomegranate seeds keep their bubble of juiciness while the seed at the middle of each aril softens to the texture of baked nut.

My mind has been wandering lately. There is a lot going on in our lives and my mind seems to be everywhere at the same time. Last week I completed my probation 6 months at work. I got to read the assessment my bosses wrote for me and … well … let's just say that day my head bloated far too much and I had trouble fitting through doors. ;-)
It's been a great 6 months and I am really loving every day here at the university. No two days are alike and for my restless Gemini mind I have enough variety to keep my mind active. My former job from home seems so morbid in comparison.
Looking ahead I know 2009 is going to be one of many changes for us. As Tom is wrapping up his thesis, there have been several job offers coming his way. Zurich, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, London, Stuttgart are places we could end up in. He has also been offered to stay on at the university here in Weimar. So, you see we have a lot to talk about at home right now.
Weimar – who would have thought that after traveling the world I would feel so comfortable in this small, quaint city? Both Tom and I have found special friends here and Soeren fits into his social network so perfectly. We'd hate to say goodbye to this part of our lives. So Weimar is a very serious contender to all those big cities I mentioned above – because Weimar has somehow become home to us. Initially, when we first moved here we always said it was an intermediate stop in our lives. Just until the PHD is completed. Since then our feelings have changed and we could very well imagine settling down here.
A few of you also know from my last post that this week Soeren is away at his grandparents. So my afternoons have been somehow empty. I have been doing those chores that you put back to the bottom of your list. I cleaned and sorted out the pantry, defrosted the freezer, filed the piles of paperwork and bills and threw away piles of magazines (some from last year!).
The evenings have been quite refreshing this week. Tom, who has been highly strung the last few months, is amazingly relaxed. Generally he would spend 2-3 hours upstairs working on the thesis after Soeren goes to bed, but this week we have been simply spending time together, listening to music, reading and chatting.
So, I am sure you will now understand why I have not been around your blogs lately. While I do miss you all I am relaxing and enjoying spending one on one time with Tom. Enjoying the serenity before things get lively again when Soeren gets back. Inhaling these moments before we dive into the unknown. I'll be around soon. Just need to get my mind settled and focused again.
Dishes like this help us relax and soothes our busy minds. It's a simple serving of red lentils with the added richness of creamy coconut milk accompanied with couscous. We curl up of the sofa with steaming bowls and chat till the late hours. It's useful to make large portions of this because the next day you can add a bit more stock and enjoy it as soup.
Coconut Red Lentils
Printable version of recipe here.200g red lentils
400ml coconut milk
425ml can of tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 red chili, de-seeded and finely chopped
2 red onions, finely chopped
1-2 teaspoons turmeric powder
2 tablespoons oil
500ml vegetable stock
Handful of mint leaves, coarsely chopped
Salt and pepperMethod
Heat oil in a large pot. Sauté onions, garlic and chili until soft and translucent. Add the turmeric powder and allow to cook for a minute.
Add lentils, tomatoes, coconut milk and stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 - 30 minutes until the consistency of the lentils is creamy.
Salt and pepper to taste and finally sprinkle with mint leaves.
Serve hot with couscous.
This is a simple yet flavorful dish. I find it incredibly soothing and comforting. A few wonderful ingredients prepared with a few aromatic spices, creates such a delicious meal. My mother will argue with me for adding coconut milk to the lentils, but I will argue it is the coconut milk that adds a wonderful unique flavor to the lentils. Mint and turmeric simply add a refreshing note rounding the whole dish up.
Sra of When My Soup Came Alive is hosting this session of My legume love affair, an event I have missed taking part in previously much to my regret. The mastermind behind the event is lovely Susan of The Well Seasoned Cook. I hope Sra will accept my humble offerings.

The Third Trimester (29 - 40 Weeks)
Prenatal Visits During the Third Trimester
During the second and third trimester prenatal visits, your physician or midwife may check the following, depending on your current medical condition and the health of the fetus:
- Any current symptoms or discomforts
- Your weight
- Your blood pressure
- Urine test to detect albumin (a protein), which may indicate preeclampsia or toxemia, and sugar, which may indicate hyperglycemia
- Position, growth, and development of the fetus
- Height of the fundus (top of the uterus)
- Fetal heartbeat
As you begin the third trimester, your physician or midwife may change the schedule of your prenatal visits from monthly to every two weeks. Your prenatal visits may be scheduled once every week in the last month. This schedule will depend upon your medical condition, the growth and development of the fetus, and the preference of your physician or midwife.
Toward the later weeks of the pregnancy (started at approximately the thirty-eighth week), a pelvic exam may be done to determine the dilation and effacement of the cervix. Your physician or midwife will also ask about any contractions, and discuss labor and delivery procedures.
What to Expect During the Third Trimester
The third trimester marks the home stretch, as you prepare for the delivery of your baby. The fetus is continuing to grow in weight and size, and the body systems finish maturing. You may feel more uncomfortable now as you continue to gain weight and begin to have false labor contractions (called Braxton-Hicks contractions).
During the third trimester, it is a good idea to start taking childbirth classes in preparation for the big day - especially in the case of first pregnancies. If you plan to breastfeed, taking a breastfeeding class may be helpful. Click here to learn more about the free classes we offer for childbirth, breastfeeding, and infant care.
During the third trimester, both the mother's body and fetus continue to grow and change.
Fetal Development During the Third Trimester
During the third trimester, the fetus continues to grow in size and weight. The lungs are still maturing and the fetus begins to position itself head-down. By the end of the third trimester, the fetus is about 19 to 21 inches long and weighs, on average, six to nine pounds. Fetal development during the third trimester includes:
- The fetus can see and hear
- The brain continues to develop
- The kidneys and lungs continue to mature
- By the thirty-sixth week, the head may "engage" (drop into the pelvic area) - a process called "lightening"
- The bones of the skull remain soft to make it easier to pass through the birth canal
- For many babies, the irises of the eyes are slate blue. The permanent eye color will not appear until several days or weeks after birth
- The fetus can suck its thumb and has the ability to cry
- By thirty-eight to forty weeks, the fetus' lanugo has disappeared almost completely
- By thirty-eight to forty weeks, the lungs have matured completely
- The baby is covered in vernix caseosa (or simply called vernix), a creamy, protective coating on the skin
- The head will usually turn downward during the last couple of weeks of pregnancy
Changes in the Mother's Body
In the third trimester, some women become increasingly uncomfortable as their due date nears. As the fetus grows in size and crowds the abdominal cavity, some mothers-to-be have difficulty taking deep breaths or getting comfortable at night for sleep, while others are free from any discomfort as they anxiously await the arrival of their new son or daughter.
The following is a list of changes and symptoms that you may experience during the third trimester, including:
- Increased skin temperature as the fetus radiates body heat, causing you to feel hot
- Increased urinary frequency returns due to increased pressure being placed on the bladder
- Blood pressure may decrease as the fetus presses on the main vein that returns blood to the heart
- Swelling of the ankles, hands, and face may occur (called edema), as you continue to retain fluids
- Hair may begin to grow on your arms, legs, and face due to increased hormone stimulation of hair follicles. Hair may also feel coarser.
- Leg cramps may become more frequent
- Braxton-Hicks contractions (false labor) may begin to occur at irregular intervals in preparation for childbirth
- Stretch marks may appear on the abdomen, breast, thighs, and buttocks
- Colostrum (a fluid in the breasts that nourishes the baby until the breast milk becomes available) may begin to leak from the nipples
- Dry, itchy skin may persist, particularly on the abdomen, as the skin continues to grow and stretch
- Your libido (sexual drive) may decrease
- Skin pigmentation may become more apparent, especially dark patches of skin on the face
- Constipation, heartburn, and indigestion may continue
- Increased white-colored vaginal discharge (leukorrhea) which may contain more mucus
- Backaches may persist and increase in intensity
- Hemorrhoids may persist and increase in severity
- Varicose veins in the legs may persist and increase in severity
As demonstrated above, each woman carries her baby differently, depending upon her body structure and amount of weight gain.

There's something special about a Marble cake.It looks good without any adornments and it tastes great satisfying people with varied taste buds.Something like,there's something for every one.It gives more pleasure to bake one at home and wait with fingers crossed when you cut into it and see the marbled effect.I love the different patterns we get each and every time we do the marbling.Sometimes,it is more a mix-up of patterns or sometimes they are evenly marbled.
I remember making this cake a long time back when my in-laws were visiting.Ma-in-law loves it when I bake eggless stuff and gorges on it though she is not a big fan of baked sweets.And I love her for that!
I followed a simple eggless Vanilla cake recipe to make this cake.Just added cocoa powder for the marble effect and added my favorite ingredient-Orange Zest to make the Cake extra special.
Eggless Marble Cake
Recipe slightly adapted from - The Yum Blog
Flour - 1 1/4 cups
Milk powder - 3 tbsp
Baking powder - 2 tsp
Baking soda - 1/2 tsp

Start with a piece of 8.5x11" Natural Sticky Back Canvas and print a handwriting image onto it using your inkjet printer
Peel off the backing paper from the Sticky Back Canvas
Fold it in half so both sides stick together
Cut using the Tattered Florals die on your die cutting machine
Sand the edges of your Sticky Back Canvas Flowers to distress them by rubbing the edges on sandpaper
Squeeze out a small amount of paint onto your Craft Sheet
Using the ink blending tool, dip the foam into the paint and then brush lightly over the edges of the flower.
Scrunch up the flowers to give them dimension. Then set the flower pieces aside. Now we are going to make the center of the flower!
Cut a 2" square piece of Sticky Back Canvas and a 1" x 11" long strip. Make a small cut in the top of the strip of Sticky Back Canvas
Tear the strip of Sticky Back Canvas in half lengthwise
Peel off the paper backing from the square of Sticky Back canvas and leave the adhesive side facing up
Take the long strip of Sticky Back canvas and remove the paper backing, stick one end to the adhesive side of the canvas square.
Start rolling up your flower by twisting one 1/2 turn and then sticking the strip of canvas into the adhesive side of the canvas square in a circular motion.
Keep twisting and sticking and it will look like this!
Trim off the excess canvas around the flower
Lightly tap on a little bit of Painterly Pink paint using the link blending tool
Apply Multi medium to the center of the largest flower
Layer up all the flowers, adding Multi Medium in between each layer.
Add a button using Multi Medium to the center of your flower
Add a pin back to the back of the flower. I glued mine on with more Multi Medium!
Pin your flower to an old necklace and wear! Or pin it to a scarf, a hat or a jacket!
UPDATE WE HAVE A WINNER! winner has been picked! Congrats to Suzanne!! We'll have another giveaway very soon! thanks for playing!

Claudine! This is absolutely gorgeous!! :) I'm feeling so inspired with ideas for printed text on sticky back canvas now!!

Oh wow this is lovely. Your tutorial makes it seems so much easier. Thanks for the help and Tim Holtz!
been saving the sticky back canvas for God only knows, maybe it was to make these cute pins. Thanks for the tutorial.
Love your signature touch here, Claudine! the pink paint and the spiral center with that little white button? Charming! It makes me happy just to look at it!
Hi that´s a great pin! I also created one out of paper and I guess that I will create some more thanks to your inspiration!!

Love this project - I've been using sticky back canvas for mini book covers - this is a whole different way to use it that I'm definitely going to play with.
Tattered, vintage look with a little bit of feminine pink - love it!

Wow I had no idea you could put sticky back canvas through the printer. It looks stunning die cut into a flower and distressed. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful project!
What a great idea with the sticky back canvas, and I love how you pinned it to the necklace. Shari (cricutrookie)

What a beautiful flower! I love how you printed from an ink jet printer onto the canvas as opposed to stamping! It's been a long time since I used that technique. I love it!
ok, I've been trying to convince myself for the last few weeks that I don't NEED that tattered floral die, but all of these projects that I've been seeing have convinced me otherwise. If I win it, I'd be THRILLED! LOVE your project!
Oh! I adore the new idea to rip the canvas! Don"t know why it never came to my mind but I really love it! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Oh my goodness Claudine! This is gorgeous! I have never tried any of these techniques before so I really appreciate the tutorial! Thanks for the chance to win this glorious die - I have been coveting it for quite a while :)
What an awesome addition this will make to a cute summer outfit. Love your work. Thanks for the great use for the canvas and a chance to win this die which I don't own.
This looks like a fabulous project for Mother's Day. Thanks for the tutorial.

I have been playing it safe in my designs,but now I'm ready to break my shell and free what's in my head. I want to use the flowers from this die to design something big and different. Time to play!!
What a beautiful project. I'd love to win this die for my collection. Oh the fun I would have with it. Thanks for the tutorial and giveaway.
Hi Claudine! This is a lovely project. Thanks for the tutorial. I appreciate the clear photos and instructions.
I already have the die, but I wanted to comment and say that not only is the brooch beautiful, but you've given me so many new ideas for flower centers! Your clever idea has sparked several of my own. Thank you!
I already have the die and love it, but wanted to comment. Your flower is darling - love all the uses for Sticky Back Canvas.
What a great way to get more out of a die. Love it with the pearls. How about a few on a hat or bag? Where do I get sticky back canvas? I've never seen that before. That's why I love the blogs. Not only do you get a cool project/lesson, but now I know there is something out there I need to get and play around with. Can't wait.
awesome idea and such a pretty piece, love the centres on those flowers, I would love to own this dies, thanks for the chance to win, Christine
It's beautiful, I love it. Can't wait to start making these and putting them everywhere....hats, sandals, bags, backpack, wall mirrors and lamp shades... the list is endless. Thanks Caludine!
Love how this flower came out~ never thought of using my dies to cut material. I would love to win this die.
Hi Claudine,Oh Sew B utiful! Wow .I was unfamilar with several of the items you used.I am now enightened.Loved the sticky and the canvas, the little tool to scrub the edges with.Well Done.
The tattered flower is very beautiful. I love the technique you used to make the center. I would proudly wear this.
Great tutorial.........thank you; the flower is gorgeous. I don't need the die I already have it, but wanted to let you know that I'm actually going to try to make this one!
Claudine, I have followed you for years and this little pink flower is so you.....I wanna be like you so I wanna make some of the pinkies for me too. Love the handwriting idea on it, it makes it so personal. It would be lovely to handwrite an Easter greeting to go with a card or small Easter basket of candy.
WOW!! So clever....so classy! The technique for winding the narrow strip to make a flower is so simple yet looks so complicated. Hmm. Going to make a run for some sticky back canvas. Just need the die. Hope to win it. Liz
WOW, the pin is beautiful, thank you for showing us howto make one. My e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com Thank you Lucille
Lovely jewelry application for Tim Holtz product. Thank you for sharing your time & talents with us.
Completely in love with how you made the flower! I love everything about it.

Hi Claudine,
I don't have ANY of the dies or the die cutting machines. I love seeing what can be done with the dies but afraid to jump in I guess. I haven't seen enough examples of how you use the dies and machines in my Indiana area. Your tutorial though looks really easy and fun. How fun it would be to wear that rose! Pretty! Wouldn't the flowers put together also be great as a package tie decoration! Thank you for sharing.

I have never used sticky backed canvas but it's impressive how it distresses and that you can print on it. Hoping I might get lucky and win this die. The ideas this competition has generated are amazing
firstname.lastname@example.com Going to see Tim Holtz at Mega Meet in May. So exciited to watch his demos. Love the flower.
Hi Claudine, you really come up with some cute craft ideas. Thank you for for all of your hard work. I love your kitty too!!
What a pretty project! I'm thinking a Mothers' Day card with this smack dab in the middle - a gift and card all in one. :)
OMG...these canvas flowera are so beautiful! LOVE the text print stamping and that soft pink color!
Hoping I win one of these dies because I am truly inspired!

A neutral color palette doesn't have to be boring. To prove it, we've chosen 5 of our favorite rooms with neutral colors. Gray, beige and white just go a whole lot more interesting. With layers, textures and thoughtful details, a neutral color palette can sometimes give your eye more to look at and enjoy than one with many colors. And neutral doesn't have to me there are no colors in your room. In fact, a colorful element can be even more impactful amongst neutral colors.
When you are looking to relax, a neutral color palette can be calming and comforting. It also allows you to add lots of cozy layers without making the space feel cluttered. Use various textures from soft and fluffy to slick and luxurious to make your bedroom elegant and inviting. Don't be afraid to mix gray with warmer wood tones in floors and furnishings.
A neutral palette in your bathroom keeps things clean and simple. Between a shower, tub, sinks and cabinets, there's a lot to fit in a bathroom, especially if you are dealing with a small space. Keeping everything in the same color family will help create the illusion of space. Using similar tile on the floor and walls will also help.
Keeping the major items in your living room in the same color range not only gives you a simply sophisticated look, it also gives you the opportunity to change you look frequently. Dress it up with a statement piece or keep it simple.
Neutral colors are great for a dining space. This also allows you to create a mood for each occasion simply with your table setting. A bold table cloth or showstopper centerpiece can easily transform a neutral dining room for a special occasion. If you're going with a light gray, beige or white for seating, look for a stain resistant fabric to keep your space function.
