A Gastronomic Tour of Italy
June 25, 2018
As George Clooney quite rightly observed "I think people in Italy live their lives better than we do. It's an older country, and they've learned to celebrate dinner and lunch, whereas we sort of eat as quickly as we can to get through it."
Perhaps the hustle and bustle of living in a cosmopolitan city like London lends us to not to appreciate the things that actually sustain, enrich and enthuse us – like fine food, wine, culture and the arts.
In Italy, food is a carefully thought out art form that is not simply for sustenance but for pleasure. The heart of the home is the kitchen and, for most Italians I suspect, it is something to be celebrated.
My gastronomic Italian tour was a feast of pleasures with notes of deep history surrounding five important cities: Parma, Bologna, Genoa, Florence and Verona.
The First Italian UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy on December 11th 2015, Emilia-Romagna is the European region with the highest number of PDO (a badge that guarantees its authenticity) and PGI products and is described by US Forbes as "Italy's greatest gastronomic treasure".
Parma is the headquarters of the EFSA – the European Food Safety Authority and of SSICA – the Experiment Station for the Food Preservation Industry. We attended the City of Gastronomy Festival on 2nd and 3rd June 2018 which was its first exhibition held in Piazza Garibaldi and Piazza Ghiaia with chefs from six nations with five pop-up restaurants.
Parma was founded 2,200 years ago and gave birth to Parmigianino, Verdi, Toscanini, Guareschi, Attilio Bertolucci. You can wander this charming city tasting Italy's finest meats, cheeses and wines or even nip into the Museo Glauco Lombardi (named after the professor) to read Napoleon Bonaparte's second wife's letters – Marie Louise Habsburg who resided and died in Parma in 1847.
The museum is in dedication to her with Mortiz M Daffinger's Portrait of Duchess Marie Louise, Giuseppe Naudin's Palazzo Ducale: The Living Room. Atelier Louis-Hippolyte Leroy and other Parisian workers, Corbeille de marriage belonging to Marie Louise, 1810, and Giambattista Bodoni's Saluzzo.
Hosted by Emilia Romagna Tourism, Foreign Markets PR Sara Mantovani, we arrived to one of the pop-up restaurants by Chef Umberto Goriza Chef Consultant Lindenberg Germania who made us a delicious Fusilli intergrali ragù Di trota salmonata, scorza di limone, candita, and sedan.
Delicacies sampled were the Parmigiano Reggiano PDO which was invented in the Middle Age by Benedectine and Cistercian monks. The Prosciutto di Parma PDO which has a sweet characteristic due to the low 5% salt. The Culatello di Zibello PDO "Son of the Mist" considered the king of cured meats dating back to the 1300's as a favourite with nobility, poets, singers and sculptors. The 25-days aged Salame Felino PGI. The rich Coppa di Parma – stuffed into natural casing and aged in ventilated cellars for two to three months. The Tartufo Nero di Fragno – searched by hound dogs trained by "tartufini" in between the rivers of Parma and Baganza. The Fungo di Borgotaro PGI – mushrooms brown in colour, grown between chestnuts and beeches of the area of Albareto and Borgo Val di Taro.
We tasted three key wines: Malvasia dei Colli di Parma PDO – derived from a white grape native to Crete which was imported to the hills of Parma and Maiatico by the Venetians in 1200. Lambrusco dei Colli di Parma PDO created in the hills: this ruby red wine comes in sweet, still or sparkling. Colli di Parma Rosso PDO – Dark wine from primarily Barbera grapes usually paired with game. Ducati Brewery was also present, offering its lagers to intrigued passer-by's.
Talks and cooking shows were done by three-Michelin star chef Riccardo Monco of Enoteca Pinchiorri restaurant, Florence who was also awarded a prestigious award in the Parma court. Matteo Fronduti of the Manna Restaurant, Florence was present as was Terry Giacomello of Inkiostro, Parma. Throughout the two days, many prestigious speakers, wine and food experts and chefs showcased their knowledge and cooking skills.
For dinner, we went to the perfect local restaurant on a side street where giant bowls of "tortelli" were served alongside sparkling red Lambrusco.
If you wish to go to Parma, I recommend you go to the next food month festival "City of Gastronomy Taste" 1-30 September 2018 and stay at the modest Star hotel du Parc Hotel. In 2020, Parma will be the Italian Capital of Culture.
The next day, we had an incredibly special lunch in a gorgeous hilltop villa hosted by Tommaso owner of Cantina Charlie.
Tommaso's charming chef William, whom adorned a monogrammed and tailored white shirt, served us sumptuous Parma ham, savoury el dente tortelli with melted butter and sage, slow roasted pig neck, and an English style custard dessert before we toured the wine production rooms and the sweeping vineyards.
Cantina Chiarli was founded in 1860 by Cleto Chairli – a restauranteur and manager of Trattoria dell'Artigliere. This producer is the first and oldest family-owned wine company of the Emilia Romagna region. Winner of "Mention Honourable" certificate at the 1900 Universal Expo in Paris, Chiarli has become a long-standing wine name passed down through family generations.
Five generations later, this family winery remains the global leader in Lambrusco production and own 140 hectares of vineyards in the best Denominzazione di Origine Controllata producing areas of Modena and Bologna which produce Lambrusco di Sorbara, Lambrusco Grasparossa and Pignoletto. Situated in the Etruscan-built town of Modena, this north Italian town also is the birthplace of Balsamic vinegar (which Chiarli also produce under their Vecchia Scuderia Distribuzione brand name) and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
*Cheese Lovers Fact: Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese in itself had a 2.2-billion-euro turnover at consumption in 2017 with 1.9 million tons of milk produced.
After a delightful lunch at Cantina Chiarli, we departed for the UNESCO city of music: Bologna. In Bologna, living well means culture, meetings and relationships between people.
"Thus, the laughing muse flees as the poet struggles with a vain desire for ancient beauty." Gouse Carducci.
We arrived to the beautiful Grand Hotel Majestic già Baglioni. Situated in the oldest part of the city next to a 9th century church with an 18th century portico by Francesco Tadolini on its left. The city is rich in culture and boasts 40km of porticos.
Our bedroom was a gilded and moss-coloured green treasure chest with hand-embroidered silk green curtains and golden notes. All of the prestigious 4 and 5-star Due Torri Hotels are former palaces, and this certainly had an 18th century noble char. Directed by former Pope Prospero Lambertini to be constructed, the hotel covers an old Roman Road which can be seen by the open terrace breakfast nook with upward views of colourful stained-glass windows.
Bologna has a plethora of museums and the oldest university in the world the University of Bologna formed in 1088, located in the Palazzo dell'Archiginnasio.
When you visit, climb the 498 steps to reach the Asinelli Tower for views over the city. (Famous poet and 1906 Nobel Prize Winner Giosue Carducci describes the Two Towers Asinelli and Garisenda as Sombre Bologna with its towers rises in the bright winter "Surge nel Chiaro inverno la fosca turrita Bologna" It's the tallest Medieval leaning tower in the world at 97.2 metres high.
Go to the centre of the city where we heard street musicians play at night in the Piazza Maggiore. In the piazza, Flemish sculptor Giambologna's bronze and marble statue of Neptune "Il Gigante" (the Giant) stands proudly at 3.2 metres high and weighing 2.2 tons. The fountain represents papal power and is one of the symbols of the city based on a design by Tommaso Laureti between 1563 and 1566.
The other symbol of the city is Basilica of San Petronio, a gesture of local power vis-à-vis Rome which houses one of the largest sundials in the world. Between Palazzo del Podesta and Palazoo Re Enzo, there is a whispering gallery where if you whisper facing one of the four corners of the arch, you will be heard by anyone who is at the opposite corner. On Sunday, visit the Church of San Petronio: one of the largest churches in Christendom.
Key museums to go see are Palazzo Fava museum, International Museum of Music, The Modern Art Museum (which holds a video from one of my favourite performance artists Marina Abromavic – Imponderabilia), Civic Archaeological Museums (known for its Etruscan and Roman Bologna exhibits as well as its Egyptian collection including the Horemheb tomb relief), the Medieval Museum (featuring Jacopop Lanfrani's Ark of Giovanni d'Andrea), and the University Museums of Palazzo Poggi which has recently acquired a collection of Asian art, Pinacoteca Nazionale (well known for its collection of Emilian painters like the Carracci brothers, Guercino and Guido Reni as well as works by Raffaello, Giotto, Tiziano and Perugino.
If you visit Bologna later this year July to September, go for the classic silent films festival "Sotto le Stelle del Cinema" on June-August or the Jazz and Soul music festivals: Giardina Al Cubo Festival, Selva in Jazz Festival, Porretta Soul Festival, the Valley of Soul Festival.
Adorned in our chicest attire, we entered the at the Majestic's I Carracci restaurant. The ceiling painting "The Fall of Phaeton" is breath-taking. Scattered with allegorical figures of the Four Seasons on the four sides of the vault, the main dining room is a visual feast. Even the restaurant lobby showcases the Carracci school's The Rape of Ganymede with grotesque decorations thought to be by Giovanni Luigi Vales.
Hosted by the wonderful General Manager Tiberio Biondi and sales manager Elena Spadaro, our evening menu by chef Cristian Mometti was regional charcuterie with seasonal vegetables pickles and Tigelle bread, fried Petronian-style bites on skewers and Parmigiano Reggiano D.O.P mousse, tagliatelle fresh pasta with Bolognaise-style ragout, Bolognaise-style cutlet with Prosciutto, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and smashed potatoes, and Trifle for dessert.
Wines served with our meal included Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro 2016 La Battagliola and Sangiovese Superiore Ca'Grande 2017 – Umberto Cesari.
The next day, we went to Centergross, one of the largest commercial wholesale districts in the world. With almost 700 companies an excellence center of the ready-to-wear fashion made in Italy. Then we had lunch at Villa Orsi, and 18th century villa used by Centergross to welcome the guests. We were seated in a long drawing room served by top chef Stefano Boselli chefs whose aim in life is to educate the world on the originality and importance of Spaghetti alla Bolognese recipe.
The president of Centergross Lucia Gazzotti informed us that a few decades ago, mothers would test their son's prospective brides would test their pasta cooking skills. Once the pasta sheet was made, the potential mother-in-law would hold up the pasta to a window and if she couldn't see through the sheet – the woman was unfit to marry!
*Opera Lovers Fact: The greatest opera singer, composer, conductor and mechanical producer of the promenade fleet, Farinella, was a revered artistic icon in Bologna who sang privately for Prince V of Spain in 1737. He collected a vast number of paintings which unfortunately were sold after his family couldn't afford to upkeep in his villa The Farinello beyond Porta delle Lame.
After lunch, we travelled to my favourite Italian city: Florence.
The Hotel Bernini Palace is gorgeous with cream coloured walls and a stylish bar with romantic lighting. Our first floor Renaissance-inspired room featured a dark wood four poster bed and incredible stark lighting reminiscent of a Lawrence of Arabia film set.
Our favourite dinner was at the hotel ristorante La Chiostrina. With a red and white clothed table dotted with gorgeous flowers and candles. We were hosted by the lovely General Manager David Foschi and Sales Manager Beatrice Biagiotti and deputy manage of Duetorrihotels group Elena Antonini.
Our meal by chef included Antipasto (Starter) Tuscan vegetable tasting – Leaf cabbage flan, chick peas pudding with red onion Tuscan soup, asparagus and Amiata Pecorino cheese (ewe's cheese) with Wine: Vernaccia di San Gimignano Isola Bianca DOCG TERRUZI. Primo Piatto (First Course) was Porcini mushrooms crepes with yellow pumpkin cream with wine: Cipresseto rosato Toscana IGT SANTA CRISTINA. Second Piatto (main course) was beef fillet with Chianti Classico mousse, black truffle and beans puree with wine: Chianti classic Peppoli DOCG ANTINORI. Dessert was Florentine Zuccotto (sponge-cake covered with iced mousse) with wine: Moscato d'Asti DOCG Vignaioli di Santo Stefano.
We walked through Florence at night across the Ponte Vecchio where the jewellery shops aligned it. It reminded me of Patrick Susskind's book Perfume: Story of a Murderer. We walked across the bridge into the old town where little trattorias, pizza places and wine bars were open at midnight. When we walked back, we passed through a piazza where young musicians were playing classical music on violins.
The next day we went to an ancient silk lab in a beautiful house with the original silk making machine created designed by Leonardo di Vinci. We checked out the Gucci Museum with old Gucci retro pieces, luggage and an odd film with smashing cars. We dined outside on fantastic white wines, breads and incredible steak at the stunning restaurant Frescobaldi. The activities for the day were curated by high-end events group Alfresco.
American author Mary McCarthy describes Florence as a working city in "Firenze as it was". With most of the manufacture, silk, linens, textiles, leather goods work done on the left bank, the "Oltrano" or on the "contaldo" farms in the countryside. Artists and sculptors like Michelangelo, Donatello, Paolo Uccello and Brunelleschi worked in the city and some of their art can be found in the beautiful Uffizi gallery.
Great places to visit are the Boboli Garden, the Tennis Club of the Cascine, shops on Via Tornabuoni and Via della Vigna Nuova, Santa Croce, Duomo and Giotto's bell tower.
*Cheese Lovers Fact: Amiata is the largest of the lava domes in the Amiata lava dome complex located about 20km northwest of Lake Bolsena in the southern Tuscany region of Italy. It is the origin of Amiata Pecorino Cheese.
We departed for Hotel Bristol Palace, Genoa: the inspiration of Hitchcock's infamous film "Vertigo".
"Once a foreigner has tasted the "pesto", he never leaves Genova again." Philippe François, Genova, The Town Can Be Read Like A Map
The wondrous staircase in this charming palatial hotel is one of the most stunning pieces I have ever seen. Coloured throughout with hues of burgundy and a hazy yellow, the Bristol Palace has a vintage feel.
We went to a small fishing town called Boccadasse where Corso Italia ends, and we sat on grey pebbles as the water lapped up onto docked shipping boats. Known for its gelateries and fresh fish restaurants, you can reach this town taking an hour walk through tiny alleyways "caruggi" and then alongside the pier. You can follow it all the way along to popular Portofino.
Another seaside town favoured by European aristocrats between the 19th and 20th centuries is Nervi where one can see Corsica and Capraia and take the ferry here to Portofino, San Fruttuoso, Camogli, Cinque Terre and the Ancient Port of Genoa or scuba dive in the cove.
With dozens of museums, I would go back to view the Palazza dei Rolli where, during Rolli Days, one can visit the grand palaces of which 42 out of the 150 Genoese palazzi became UNESCO world heritage sites in 2006. The Palazzo Ducale Chiesa del Gesu houses The Circumcision and The Miracle of Saint Ignatius by Rubens and is only a 5-minute walk from the hotel.
Further off is the biggest aquarium in Europe designed by Renzo Piano in 1992 where you can watch sharks and dolphins, or you can go up The Bigo panoramic elevator for views over the city.
For the evening's dinner, director Giovanni Ferrando and Deputy Manager Fiorenza Peyrot kindly hosted us in a private room at the hotel's restaurant Giotto serving famous Genoese pesto pasta.
*Art Lovers Fact: Hemingway describes it as "One of the Wonders of the World": The Cemetery of Staglieno is part of the Association of Significant Cemeteries in Europe which showcases sculptures (from the likes of Santo Varni, Giulio Monteverde, Augusto Ribalta, Lorenzo and Luigi Orengo, Leonardo Vistolfi, Demtrio Paernio, Edoardo De Albertis, Eugenio Baroni) between 1850 and 1950 (the end of World War 11). Other prominent visitors include Neitzsche, Maupassant, Mark Twain, Empress Sissi of Austria.
It was designed by Genoese architect Carlo Barabino who also built Teatro Carlo Felice and Palazzo dell 'Accademia and also Giovanni Battista Resasco (mixing a Mediterranean and Anglo-Saxon style) and opened to the public in 1851 with the final construction done in 1880.
The decision to make a monumental cemetery was by King Carlo Alberto of 1832 (which in turn inspired by Napoleon's Edict of Saint-Cloud of 1804).
Entrance is Piazzale Resasco. One of the key monuments is the tomb of Caterina Campodonico (the peanuts pedlar) who sold peanuts and doughnuts to have her own funerary monument built sculpted by Lorenzo Orengo (1881).
The next morning, we indulged in more Genoan pesto pasta at seaside restaurant Il Veliero before we transferred to Romeo and Juliet's famed city: Verona, the city of love.
"Mixed and impure, Verona is vibration, warmth, colour, art transformed into landscape and fused with the landscape, a mirage of a romantic city." Guido Proven.
Warmly greeted by the kind staff of the Due Torri Hotel Verona, we walked into a stunning dining room entrance to the hotel which used to be horse stables. Now, covered in frescoes, the entrance is grande and the ceilings covered in art. We walked up to the stunning roof terrace we were served delicate foie gras and salmon canapes with sparkling white wine whilst looking onto the churches.
The dinner was in a lovely formal room the Due Torri Lounge and Restaurant hosted by some of our favourite hotelier staff: GM Silvano de Rosa and Sales Manager Giorgia Gazzuola.
The next day, we had a city tour with a special peek of the House of Juliet, the famous Arena and the symbol of peace: the lion in Piazza delle Erbe.
John Ruskin wrote that in "divine" Verona "every hour of light is precious." This was exemplified by the magnitude of painted frescoes painted by the likes of Stefano da Varona, Althichiero da Zevio, Mantegna, Paolo Veronese, Liberale de Verona, Nicola Giolfino, Stefano da Verona, Girolamo ai Libri, Brusasorci, Flaconetto, Del Moro, Aliprandi and which covered the interior and exterior walls of more than 300 buildings in Verona – a status symbol of the Renaissance nobility to highlight their social position. These incredible houses and palaces can be admired such as the restored Mazzanti Houses in Piazza delle Erbe, the Pindemonte-Ongania-Bentegodi building in Via Leoncino, and the Monistcalchi Palace to name a few. To delve more deeply into the history of the ancient frescoes, go check out the G.B. Cavalcaselle Fresco Museum which is dedicated to nineteenth century art historian Giovanni Batista Cavalcaselle or pick up the collection of etchings from Veronese painter and author Pietro Nanin.
Verona, a UNESCO heritage site since 2000, is the first province in Italy for wine export and was awarded the role of Italian delegate in the nine Wine Capitals around the world in November 2017 according to the Great Wine Capitals Global Network. This award is based on architecture and landscapes, art and culture, innovative wine tourism experiences, accommodation, wine tourism restaurants, sustainable wine tourism practices, and wine tourism services.
We were shown around the city by Veronality Tours and Experiences which was started in 2011 by partners and friends Matteo Pasqualotto and Andrea. Locals to Verona, they decided to create a tourism experience company to create a real Italian experience focused on food tastings and cooking courses learning how to make handmade pasta, risotto, tiramisu, fresh sorbet and gelato in crystal glasses (hosted by chefs Cristina and Alex from La Soffritta), tasting fresh pasta and cheeses, wine tasting – focusing on Amarone and Valpolicella (many valley cellars) hosted by Diana and Cristina the food tour guides or Leonardo the expert in the Valpolicella area, Italian language classes with teachers Martina and Robberto, art and culture history, bike and vespa experiences with Matteo and Leonardo, minivan tours of Sirmione, Lake Garda and the Dolomites with Alessia.
Verona has seen an influx of different cultures and wars over the last 2,000 years home to a Rhaetian-Etruscan and Euganean town. A commercial hub in Roman times starting from the first century B.C., being under Scaliger rule in the second half of the thirteenth century, Verona has been under rule of the Signoria of the Visconti, Carraresi, the Republic of Venice, The Serenissima, Napoleonic, Austro-Hungarian empire, until it was released to a newly formed Kingdom of Italy in 1866.
To top off the magic of Verona is definitely the Arena di Verona guided by Verona Opera House PR Tania Cefis.
A Roman amphitheatre built in the 1st century AD with a seating capacity of 13,500 persons, the Arena is the largest open-air opera theatre in the world. Each year, it hosts about half a million spectators. The first opera held on the date it was founded 10th August 1913 showcased Giuseppe Verde's Aida (considered one of the pieces de resistance of the shrine of opera) which is the most performed opera and the symbol of the Opera Festival. The centennial festival in 2013 celebrating 100 years of opera has added to the fact that Verona is one of the music capitals of the world. Upcoming performances for the rest of the season July to the end of August include Carmen, Aida, Turandot, Nabucco, Roberto Bolle and Friends, Il Barbiere di Siviglia, and Verdi Opera Night.
The Arena di Verona specially selects a random member of the audience by spotlight every evening to stand a few steps away from the artists on stage close.
The Mayor of Verona and President of Fondazione Arena, Federico Sboarina states: "Operatic and non-operatic music must complement one another, the two cores of the Fondazione, which contribute to achieve the same aim: making the Arena the shrine of opera and world-level music par excellence."
Incredible conductors, world-renowned choreographers, and singers will perform but it is Roberto Bolle and Friends, Etoile of Milan's Teatro all Scala and Principal Dancer of the American Ballet Theatre of New York which is most hotly anticipated. This will be a top night of dance welcoming some of the most prestigious international names in ballet on the stage.
The finale will see the Verdi Opera Night on Sunday 26th August 9:30pm dedicated to the "Swan of Busseto" which pays tribute to great opera featuring acts from the celebrated Verdi trilogy – Rigoletto, Il Trovatore and La Traviata.
*Book Lovers Fact: Juliet's balcony is actually a man-made replica to represent the fictional story Romeo and Juliet. The balcony at number 23 Via Cappello was built onto a real house owned by the Capuleti family albeit the sad love story is not true. Dante was the first to scribe a story of the "fighting" big families – the Montagu's and the Capulet's which was then transcribed a couple times before Shakespeare turned into his love story masterpiece. A statue of Dante is situated in the Piazza Dante surrounded by historical 16th century houses, buildings and palaces.
There is even a box where individuals can write letters to "Juliet" and receive a heart-warming letter back.
We transferred to the amazing Allegrini villa with Valpolicella wines, delicious Amarone surrounded by figures of "heaven and hell" all prepared by a 25-year old genius master chef.
"No house so beautiful and fascinating could go forsaken; it was as infinitely desirable as a lovely woman with full breasts, rounded hips, and a tiny waist, eyes dark and intense and full of unfathomable thoughts." About the Allegrini Winery is in the mysterious haunting tale of the villa by Valerio Massimo Manfredi "Amoris Potio" meaning Love Potion.
Hosted by Export Manager Tom Fox for Allegrini Winery and PR Marcello Scandola, we had a sensational lunch in this gorgeous villa with a fantastic Amarone wine.
As rich in food as it was in art history, Italy is an incredible terrain of delectable treats for any lover of gastronomic luxuries and it seems their exuberant appreciation of food leads them to live better lives for it.

text: A quick post to say that yesterday and today I sat down and went through all of my submissions mail for the last month, so if you sent me a SQUID since August 1 or thereabouts, you should be getting a reply in the next few days. I didn't keep an exact count, but I think I read through about forty-five letters/manuscripts/chapters, of which I kept or asked to see more material on four. And I felt sorry for those I rejected, as I often do -- but this is yet another way publishing is like falling in love: If there isn't a connection from the beginning, it's best to smile, shake hands, and move on. Many thanks to all of you who shared your work with me.

HYESU LEE HAD SPENT YEARS SAVING MONEY for a wedding to a husband she hadn't even met. In 2006, she decided that nest egg would be better spent funding her move from South Korea to London, where she studied at the Camberwell College of the Arts. Early on, she aspired to be like her heroes Maira Kalman and Natalie Lété, working in watercolors and portraying scenes from real life—admittedly "artsy fartsy," as she calls it. But after graduating, the work didn't come. So she moved again—this time, to New York to attend the MFA program at the School of Visual Arts.
While wandering through New York Central Art Supply, she purchased a huge 6x8 piece of paper, assuming she'd eventually find a use for it; weeks later, she decided to fill it with doodles from corner to corner. Friends and fellow students loved it, and seemed amazed at how easily it came to her. So she did it a little more. And a little more. And pretty quickly, she'd discovered a style that was less Kalman or Lété and more Keith Haring or Saul Steinberg.
"You can see from my work that I draw really badly," Lee admits with a laugh. "I'm not good at well-rendered, realistic illustrations—I tried so hard in my undergraduate days, but it's just not my thing. When I finally realized I'd never be as good as my classmates, I said 'Fuck it, I'm going to do things that I'm good at.' I started focusing more on characters and fun compositions, creating narratives in my head for the characters on the page. And that's really helped me, because I'm not competing with people who draw well—I'm doing something completely different."
In spite of that shift, Lee's professors worried that her work wasn't commercial enough, and early evidence suggested that they were right: A year and a half after graduating, Lee hadn't won a single commission. When she finally received a small editorial assignment from the New Yorker, she thought her luck had changed, but several more months went by and still, nothing. She reached out to agents and soon landed one, while continuing to promote her own work, which led to infrequent editorial assignments. At one point she was forced to take on odd jobs, even serving dumplings in a local supermarket. Then finally, an agency working with the New England Hospital needed technical medical concepts turned into simple illustrations. The budget? $10,000. And that put an end to all of the part-time jobs.
Lee isn't the only illustrator to get off to a slow start professionally, and looking back, those early struggles make her appreciate her success even more. In the last few years, she's created packaging for Chobani and La Boite biscuits, and completed editorial work for the Washington Post and Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine. But her unique style comes through most powerfully in the sprawling murals she's done for Toyota, Anheuser-Busch, Cafe Bustelo, and RTA Transit in Cleveland.
"When people see me painting murals, they'll take pictures of themselves in front of the art, and tell me what they love about it," she says. "I realize my illustrations may not seem very 'sophisticated' because I draw a lot of goofy characters, but people seem to like my style, because it's warm and humorous and doesn't have to be explained."
One of Lee's favorite projects came about shortly after she adopted a Westie-terrier mix from a local animal shelter. ("Dutch is such an asshole to people," she says, "but I love him to death.") She returned a few weeks later to volunteer her talents, creating a playful mural in the shelter lobby.
"My husband and I are both illustrators, and sometimes I think we aren't really helping people, like doctors or nurses—we're just creating things that we love for ourselves and hoping that people like it," says Lee. "Painting that mural for BARC is one of those things I'll remember forever because I felt like I was doing something worthwhile."
The people of New York are some of her favorite subjects.
"I love drawing on the subway, capturing the tiny, mundane moments in everyday life. The other day the train was jam-packed, and there was only one bar to hold onto, and I could see so many hands of different colors, and it just made me so happy, that level of diversity. That's the sort of thing that gets me going every day."
That's not to say city life is perfect. But Lee turns to her art during the difficult times, too.
"I might come across as the most laid-back person, but inside I'm so worried that I get up every morning, and the first thing I remember is 'I need a new job today!' So even though I know that social media is kind of fucked up, I like posting work to Instagram because if I feel stressed or embarrassed about something, I can let it out, and other people can relate to it. It's almost like therapy—it makes me realize I'm not perfect, but it's OK, because I'm not the only one."

The lessons you share with your kids will have a dramatic impact on the lives they live, so teach your children well. Here are a handful or so of ways your teachings prepare your kids for the "real world."
- Teach them to change a tire. This valuable lesson will not only help your child work well under pressure (nobody expects to get a flat) but it teaches them to rely upon themselves in emergency situations.
- Teach them to catch a fish. Give your child fish, they have fish sticks, teach them to fish and they will have a lifetime of meals. Your kids need to understand the importance of making a living and providing for themselves. Through fly fishing my father taught me a world of lessons about myself, business and people.
- Teach them to write a handwritten note. Your child will gravitate towards technology (and that's not a bad thing), however, nothing can replace the personal, unique and genuine feel of a handwritten note. Personal communication will set them apart from the rest of the world and help them build a healthy network of amazing personal connections.
- Teach them to make their own bed. As they get older your child will understand the importance of having a neat and tidy work area. If taught early in life, your kids will want to stay organized and clean. Productivity and efficiency boom when clutter is eliminated and organization shines.
- Teach them to brush their teeth daily. While they may not see the benefits of brushing immediately, they will have a beautiful smile while they learn the positive benefits of preventative maintenance. Also, this will teach your child about healthy habits and good hygiene. Positive childhood habits will serve them well in their adult years.
- Teach them to save pennies now. A glass mason jar is all you need to collect pennies, and they can learn the lesson of accumulating savings. Once the jar gets filled, some of the money can be enjoyed, donated or used to buy a reward. Some should be saved for a better future. Empty the jar and start again. Your child will learn a great lesson about saving, goal setting and sharing.
What life lessons did you teach your children? Please share one with our Nice Guy community in the comments section below.

Bartolomeu Dias was the first European explorer to sail around the Cape of Good Hope. He set out in 1487, charged by King John II of Portugal with finding a route around Africa to India. His expedition made it around the cape and traveled east to Kwaaihoek before stopping. Dias wanted to continue to India, but conditions led his crew to threaten mutiny unless they returned home.
Many European monarchs of the 15th century dreamed of finding a viable sea route to India. At that time, valuable spices were exported via a land route through the Middle East, passing through many different middlemen and inflating costs. A direct sea route would have allowed merchants to bypass this system, vastly reducing prices and increasing economic opportunity.
After Dias' first expedition failed, Portugal halted its attempts to open a trade route with India for more than a decade. Dias served on Vasco da Gama's expedition that finally reached India in 1498, although he did not personally complete the journey. He later mounted another expedition of his own in 1500, but the flotilla was caught in a vicious storm off the Cape of Good Hope. Four ships, including the flagship, went down in the storm. Dias presumably perished and was never seen again.

Country put on high alert after Intelligence inputs of terror strikes during festive season
New Delhi, Aug.19 (ANI): The Government has issued an advisory to the States and put the country on high alert in the wake of some Intelligence inputs that Pakistan-based terrorists may strike during the upcoming festive season.
Notably, three major festivals–Onam will be celebrated on August 23, Raksha Bandhan on August 24 and Id-ul Fitr on September 13.
The Centre has asked state governments to take all possible steps to foil attempts by militant groups, particularly Lashkar-e-Taiba, to disrupt peace during ongoing Ramzan and other upcoming festivals.
Delhi, Karnataka and Kerala in particular have been asked to deploy additional forces in sensitive locations.
An advisory issued by Home Ministry has asked all states to increase vigil and take precautionary measures to ensure security in the country.
"We have sent alert to all states and are taking all necessary measures. There are possibility that Pakistan-based elements may try to carry out terror strike in the country," a media report quoted Home Ministry official as saying on Thursday.
The advisory has asked states to be more vigilant and check crowded public places like markets, railway stations, bus terminals and parks besides other places of mass gathering, he said. (ANI)

E3Live is 100% fresh frozen AFA algae; this is AFA in its freshest, most vibrant state. It has 64 vitamins, minerals and amino acids, and is 97% absorbed by the body. Because it is a liquid product, E3Live enters the blood stream quickly and is able to have more effect on the brain.
Doctors Recommend E3Live™ for Good Reasons
"As a physician working with thousands of clients, I find that E3Live™ helps to restore overall biochemical balance by nourishing the body at the cellular level. The positive response from the use of E3Live™ has been extraordinary. E3Live™ is a wonderful and unique blend for peak performance of body, mind, and spirit that should be included in any detoxification and rejuvenation program. I take it myself daily." -Dr. Gabriel Cousens M.D., Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center Patagonia, Arizona
Dr. Cousens is one of the world's foremost holistic medical doctors and author of Depression-Free for Life, Conscious Eating and other books; he is the founder and Director of Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Arizona. In a recent interview with Dr. Cousens he says, "E3Live™ is an essential part of my treatment program. Almost everyone I see I put on E3Live because it helps with the underlying depression and helps heal the biologically altered, addictive brain aspects behind these destructive behaviors. I believe E3 Live™ is God's gift for people with a biologically altered brain because of poor diet and poor genetics; these people suffer a lot in this world. One way they cope with the suffering is alcoholism and drugs. There are obviously better, less destructive ways to cope."
"In alcoholism and drug addiction, we find subtle and not so subtle changes in brain chemistry and brain waves. In many of these people the pleasure centers of their brains, the dopamine receptors, are not working correctly. We find that by using E3Live™ along with other dietary changes and specific amino acid supplementation, we can normalize the electroencephalogram (EEG) readings and balance the central nervous system at the root of the disorder."
Karynne recommends the following E3 daily regimen:
• E3Live or BrainOn – Take one ounce in the morning after 7 a.m.
• E3 Enzymes - 2 capsules with each meal (or 30 minutes before)
• E3 Probiotics - 2 capsules each morning on an empty stomach
Karynne also recommends other e3Live products, including:
• Ultimate Mega H - The most amazing way to stay hydrated and healthy from free radicals.
• E3 Phenalmin - Provides phenylethylamine (PEA) to provide brain support and extra boosts of concentration and attention

SP Metandienon
SP. Metandienon
General information:
Manufacturer: SP Laboratories
Substance: Methandrostenolone
Pack: 100 tabs (10mg/tab)
There are various steroids sold online currently and some popular ones like Anadroxyl (Oxymetholone), Oxandroxyl (Oxandrolone), Winstrol (Stanozolol) and Deca Durabolin (Nandrolone Decanoate) are explained in this article. The below article provides valid answers for various questions associated with SP Metandienon (Methandrostenolone) by SP Laboratories. When testosterone was suspended in market, SP Metandienon (Methandrostenolone) was 2nd anabolic steroid. It's a testosterone with some minor changed in structure like addition of 17a-methyl group and 1-2 double carbon bond. For the drug to remain active after transiting through liver, 17a methyl group is used while 1-2 double bond will reduce the rate of conversion to estrogen.
Though it results in minor degree of aromatization when compared to testosterone, the possible side effects of conversion to estrogen can still be observed. Dianabol alias Dbol is generally taken during bulking cycles and only for time span of 4-6 weeks. The normal dosage is in range of 20mgs/day for newbies and advanced users might take double or triple the amount of normal users.
Though SP Metandienon is sold as pills generally, injections are also available. Stanoxyl 10 (Stanozolol) is a similar drug which is available as capsules with oil or water used as base, pills and also as paper anabolic. Despite its available in various forms it's just a 17a steroid that has particular purpose of bodybuilders. Since its modified at 17th carbon position, it won't get deactivated by liver and liver enzymes might get elevated because of struggle to deactivate it. It can result in decent weight gain, when taken in mild doses of 50mgs per day. SP Metandienon is preferred by bodybuilders during the beginning of bulking cycles and gives good results on completion of the cycle. Due to this purpose, it's taken in combination with other injectable steroids that have longer active life such as Deca Durabolin (Nandrolone Decanoate), Testoxyl Enanthate 250 (Testosterone Enanthate) or Testoxyl Cypionate 250 (Testosterone Cypionate). It is usually taken during first two to six weeks of cycle with an average time span of four weeks.

There are at least two notable local music connections to noted pop experimentalist Todd Rundgren.
The first is the fact that Neon Indian's chillwaves rode not one, but two Rundgren samples on their debut album Psychic Chasms, with "Deadbeat Summer" using some of Rundgren's "Izzat Love?" track and "Local Joke" biting his "How About a Little Fanfare?" song.
The second is the fact that Kettle Art gallery owner Frank Campagna is a close friend of Rundgren's and was the guy behind booking Rundgren to play Trees last year.
Now, that second connection has spawned a third.
Earlier this year, Rundgren released an album called reProductions in which he re-imagines hit songs released by bands he's produced -- acts such as the Psychedelic Furs, Badfinger, XTC Meat Loaf and others. Yesterday, the folks over at Spinner posted an interesting Q&A with the man about the new release.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
What you won't find in that interview -- or anywhere else except for the liner notes for the album -- is the fact that the new disc is dedicated to the memory of Campagna's late son, Frankie Campagna.
Before his early death, the younger Campagna had been in talks with Rundgren to audition to play on the album. For obvious reasons, that unfortunately never happened.
Still, in a touching tribute, Campagna's name pops up in the album's liner notes nonetheless.
Classy move.

What are the important things you should know about guys?
Often, we, ladies, think that we understand men, we presume that guys have similar to our own needs and desires and we try to talk to them in "our own language". But guys are, actually, quite different. They have their special way of seeing things and their needs are, sometimes, oppisite to ours. Today, ladies, let's talk about some important things to know about guys, that can make your relationship with your gentleman easier, happier and more fulfilled:
1) Guys want to be respected
Yes, men desire to be respected and, even, admired. This is, probably, one of the most important needs that guys have. If you give respect, appreciation and admiration to your partner, you will not only reap the reward of happier relationship, but also, you will give him "wings" to achieve greatness and success.
2) They need your support
Often, behind a great man, there is a great woman. Not many people know that this woman was the only person who has ever seen her man's insecurities, she was the only one who has ever seen him crying, she always was there to help him out, she has never let him down. Faithful support of loving woman is an important ingredient of man's success.
3) Guys want to be desired
This is one of the main reasons why guys love spending time in bedroom. I think that further explanation is unnecessary, everyone knows that guys do love it. Therefore, never neglect intimacy with your partner and make sure to keep the sparkle alive.
4) Men do care about how you look
Guys, actually, do appreciate all the efforts you make, in order to look gorgeous for them, even though many men don't word it very often. Guys love it when you look feminine, when you wear dresses and elegant clothes. They like it when their wife/girlfriend looks amazing and when they catch admiring glances of other people staring at her, it makes them proud. Therefore, ladies, your efforts aren't in vain!
5) Guys need their personal space, as much as you do
Men, just like ladies, do need to spend time on their own, when they can think, analyze things and relax. Therefore, don't be offended when he doesn't feel like talking, it doesn't mean that he is bored by your company; just provide him with an opportunity to spend some time on his own, let him recharge his batteries, he needs it.
6) They enjoy romance
The fact that guys enjoy romance, just as much as we, girls, do, sometimes, doesn't seem very evident; it's because guys, often, doubt their ability to be romantic; therefore, encourage him and give him your appreciation, instead of criticizing and asking: "Where are my flowers?!!!"…If you give him more love, he will start taking more initiative to be romantic, bringing you more flowers, making more surprises and giving you more attention.
7) Guys don't know what to say on a first date
Sometimes, while on the first date, guys can lose their usual communication skills, especially, if they really like a lady in front of them. Therefore, girls, if your first date with that new guy was disastrous and you've spent plenty of time in silence, don't take quick decisions just yet, give it another try.
8) Men too like to look at themselves in the mirror
Well, yes, guys too like to look great, they like to dress up nicely and they do like to admire themselves looking in the mirror, there is nothing bad about it. So, next time you are standing in front of a mirror, make sure to move over and give him place. 😉
9) He can't read your thoughts
Often, if we, girls, have something against our partner, we tend to get silent and look offended, thus, trying to make him understand that something is wrong. But the truth is – he won't understand anything, till you just tell him and explain. Life can becomes a lot easier, when you understand that guys can't read your thoughts, you need to put it all into words.
I hope you've found this relationship advice for women somewhat useful and these tips can help to make your relationship with your partner even happier. Feel free to share your thoughts on this subject in the comment's section below.
Stay happy!

Delta Air Lines recently announced that this winter it will start flying to Accra, Ghana from New York-JFK with a Boeing 767-300ER, becoming the only scheduled airline to do so. And they're not planning on stopping there. "With more additions planned by winter," a statement by the airline reads, "Delta is proud to operate nonstop flights to 12 unique trans-Atlantic destinations not served by any other U.S. carrier." As of now, the destinations out of the 12 that have been announced or currently flown are: Budapest, Hungary; Moscow, Russia; Kiev, Ukraine; Istanbul, Turkey; Athens, Greece; Düsseldorf, Germany; Stuttgart, Germany; Nice, France; Mumbai, India; and Dakar, Senegal. All of these cities will be serviced from JFK by either Boeing 767-300ERs or Boeing 777-200ERs.
Why all of the non-stop routes to far-off cities? The answer: mostly because they're much more profitable than domestic flying. Delta can lose money on, say, Atlanta-Baltimore, because low-cost competitor AirTran flies that route too. Also, flying around the big planes domestically (like the 767) can mean lots of empty seats, which translates into money lost.
So Delta has instead opened up a bunch of international routes, most of which they have no competition on. There are exceptions; for example, Aeroflot flies JFK-Moscow as well, and Delta will compete with American and Continental on the JFK-Mumbai route. But for the most part, Delta will maintain a near-monopoly on many of these routes, many of which have huge demand but no airline (yet) flying it.
Other airlines have followed suit. United Airlines announced last month that it plans to start thrice-weekly service from Washington Dulles to Kuwait City with a Boeing 777 aircraft. The route, as of now, is not flown by anyone. United and other U.S. legacy carriers are looking closely at Delta's expansion abroad and will no doubt expand their international service if it pays off for Delta.
This is occuring, of course, at a crucial time for both airlines. Delta is still struggling through Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and keeps deferring the filing of its reorganization plan. United, on the other hand, has just exited bankruptcy, and the cost advantage it had for the past several years of being the only U.S. major in bankruptcy in fading away. It needs to take a page out of Delta's book and expand abroad as well - but only in the right areas, and in close cooperation and planning with its Star Alliance partners. Right now, the most important area for United to concentrate on is the Asia-Pacific region, where it is by far the dominant carrier.
U.S. Airlines Expand Internationally

Liam Phillips has vowed to enjoy racing in the rainbow jersey this year ahead of the opening UCI BMX Supercross World Cup of the season on home soil in Manchester.
Phillips claimed his maiden World Cup win at the exact same event last year – a performance that was to kick-start a fine season for the 25-year-old two-time Olympian.
He went on to become the first Brit to win the elite men's World Championship title in 12 years before ranking third overall in the World Cup series.
Phillips now has the honour of racing this season in the world champion's rainbow jersey but isn't prepared to allow that to bring with it any extra pressure.
"It's very different coming into this season from last season," Phillips told British Cycling. "This year it is different in the sense that I'm wearing that rainbow jersey.
"I work extremely hard away from the track and I know I'm able to compete at this level. For me it's about going out and doing my thing and enjoying the occasion.
"For me it's just a massive honour to race in front of a home crowd with the best athletes coming to race here in Manchester on a track that I train at every day."

The Valley of the Shadow of Death (Wadi Qelt)February 09, 2015
This is a deep gorge in the Judean Wilderness that runs from Jerusalem down to Jericho. The setting could very likely be the place mentioned in Psalm 23 as the "valley of the shadow of death". Do check out my post: Israel Travel Itinerary for more travel tips and inspirations.
Both me and my husband we're awestruck by the beautiful valleys in front of us. Wow! Just wow! It's unlike any other I've seen.
From Wadi Qelt you get to see the city of Jericho from afar seen on the photo below.
There are streams of water found in the valley as seen on the first two photos on the first column of the picture below. Okay, you're not really seeing the body of water but rather the gorge. Anyone up for some gorge walking? Ahahah! I don't think there's a lot of water found in there as I've mentioned in my earlier posts Israel is in a drought for years now.
Pardon my naivety but this is the first time I'm seeing a live camel. Ahaha! So I couldn't resist posing with this camel chilling in the background.
You can actually take the camel ride. You just have to ask the owner how much it would cost. I don't think it's that much though.
Some of the biblical events that could have occurred here are David's fight from his son Absalom (2 Samuel 15-16), Zedekiah's fight from the Babylonians (2 Kings 25:4), the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), and Jesus' travels from Jericho to Jerusalem (Luke 19:28).
From Wadi Qelt, you'll also see glimpses of Jerusalem. It is that city upon the hill on the left side of the photo above. We'll that if you can see it. Hehehe!
There are vendors touting in the area, even small children. You have to be very careful about this. When the item is in your hand then it's consider sold. Our tour guide told us to just ignore them and if they insist just keep on saying no. Don't act as if you're interested else they won't leave you until they'll get your dollars. You've been warned. :)
So now, we are finally entering Jerusalem! Woohoo! This is the highlight of our tour. I'm excited! Yay!!! Stay tune for more.
UP NEXT: The Dead Sea.

The social media phenomenon that has consumed the world over the past several years has transformed the way that brands communicate and interact with their consumers. This new 'channel' now represents the fastest growing segment of the advertising industry. Social media has also become a key driver of e-commerce, television, and games. Brand Innovators Social Media will provide brand marketers with best practices, case studies, and proof points, demonstrating how "best of breed" brands are leveraging social media.
"In a sea of conferences fueled by pitches disguised as insight — brand innovators provides a respite where client-side peers can go to learn, refuel and be a part of a community. It's been a long time coming."
— Jordan Corredera, AVP E-Commerce Royal Caribbean International
"I was truly privileged to serve on a panel at the Brand Innovators Social Summit in NYC on February 15th. It was a great opportunity to share social practices with colleagues in a friendly setting. I am always amazed at the level and caliber of Brand Marketers who participate in these summits which speaks to the overall draw and influence of Brand Innovators."
— Elaine Lawson, Vice President/Business Leader U.S. Digital Marketing , MasterCard Worldwide
"I was impressed with the degree of openness of the conversation. We got a great look 'behind the curtain' of how major companies like Coca-Cola, Sears and Gilt think about their media investment and communication strategy. That is something that really sets Brand Innovators apart from other conferences."
— Elena Levitskaya, Brand Manager, Media Strategy and Digital Marketing, Dannon

What a difference a day makes...
John 14:18 "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."
The day began with the hot "wintery" sun shining down on us as we awakened and began to prepare our hearts to serve at Potters Field Kids Home. Potters Field Home is home to 18 energetic boys from ages 2 to 14. These boys come from government run centers, abused homes, or extreme poverty where the families just cannot afford them. What a difference there was from the first government run center to Potters Field. It was so encouraging to see that there are places like Potters Field for kids, but it was also heartbreaking as we thought of the kids we were with at the government run center. The first and major difference is that Christ is the center at Potters Field. There is a pastor who is their "Papa" and his wife who is "Mamma." And a large Christian staff who loves and cares for each and every one of these boys. When we arrived the boys were outside doing chores. The presence of the home was very clean and neat.
Once we arrived (after we opened the door and threw out the 5 soccer balls we brought) the language barrier did not matter anymore because we were able to connect through the amazing game of soccer. There is a passion for soccer in El Salvador that is more than just a past- time, and is rather a way of life. These boys know how to play. Immediately Stephen, Nico and I made our way down to the soccer field, and played "futbol" till we were called up for lunch. The joy of soccer filled all the boys' faces at every touch of the ball. As I was here with the boys on the soccer field, with little communication except for yelling "Pelota! Pelota!"(Ball! Ball!). It was such an awesome reminder of why I am able to play soccer and who I play for, which is only Christ.
The home also serves as a center for kids to come to after school to get tutored and learn the Bible. We broke up into three stations. The first station was Christina, Emily and Jenny painting nails and doing face paint. One girl ran down the hall after her station showing off her nails. Steven and Nico were doing the sports or "soccer" station while the girls enjoyed the pampering. Susan and Julia led a crafts stations that the kids loved. And Jenni, Stephanie and I were blessed with the opportunity to share our testimonies with the kids. Many of the kids asked questions about our lives and we deeply enjoyed it.
Futbol is more than just a game. I was blessed with the opportunity to share my story about how the game of futbol affected my life. It was such an awesome way to see how I can use my story to witness to little boys who love the game as much as I do. Blessed by their joy earlier by playing soccer with them, I was excited to share my testimony with the kids about just trusting in Christ, in the good times and the bad times because He has a plan. Stephanie and Jenni shared their stories and drew questions and eyes of engagement from the girls, by focusing on the peace that they found in their lives through Christ. The verse that Jenni shared with the kids was John 14: 25-28 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
We left the kids with the excitement to play more futbol tomorrow and to just create relationships with each of these boys and to just love on them.
Please pray for Jenni and Emily as they go tomorrow to OPA (Office of Adoptions) to meet with the adoption attorney. Pray for favor and for open doors for adoption in this beautiful nation!

Are you like me, in trying to keep your dogs cool in this increasingly hot weather? Do you remember my Instagram post from a few weeks ago.....?
When my client Jeremy showed me what he had done to cool down his beautiful Rottweiler puppy Bobby, I had to take a picture and share it with you all. But now we go a step further as Jeremy has kindly agreed to share some of his recipes with us all. Jeremy came up with two delicious recipes to keep Bobby nice and cool (Keep scrolling for super cute pictures)
May I present to you Jeremy's Recipe for:
If there is one thing I love it's ice cream and it turns out the same can be said of my 18-week-old Rottweiler. Here are the recipes for two of her favourite flavours.
Peanut Butter & Banana
1 x medium ripe banana
3 x tbsp. smooth peanut butter (please make sure your peanut butter doesn't contain Xylitol as its dangerous for dogs)
2 x tbsp. unsweetened natural yoghurt
2 x tbsp. water
Peel and break up the banana, putting the pieces into a bowl.
With a fork, mash the banana pieces up until they become a thick paste.
Add the peanut butter and natural yoghurt to the banana.
With a fork whisk the mixture until all the ingredients are combined.
Add the water and mix to combine.
Pour the mix into an ice cube tray and freeze for 4 – 6 hours or until solid.
Fruits of the Forest
14 x Raspberries
6 x Strawberries
14 x Blueberries
2 x tbsp. unsweetened natural yoghurt
2 x tbsp. water
Hull the strawberries then wash all the fruit and place into a bowl
With a fork mash all the fruit up.
Add the natural yoghurt and water to the fruit and mix until well combined.
Pour the mix into an ice cube tray and freeze for 4 – 6 hours or until solid.
Once the mixture has frozen then you can pop out an ice cream cube or two as a treat on a hot day, or whenever you think your four-legged friend deserves one!
Bobbie loves it when I make these for her, not least because she gets to lick the bowl clean after I've finished.
This would also be great in small amounts, frozen into a Kong or Goodie Bone which you can get from our Online store if you don't already have one, take a look below. As with all treats for your dog they should always be supervised when eating and try in small amounts as part of a balanced diet. You are the only person that knows your dog best.
Let us know if you try this out and if you have recipes of your own or any other dog cooling ideas you would like to share below.
Classic Kong
From £5.50
Kong Goodie Bone Extreme
Large £12.99
Extreme Kong
From £8.50

Brittle chefs
They are artists of the kitchen, and often they don't take kindly to criticism
For anyone who knows chefs, the punch-up at the River Café in Wales, in which chef Charlie McCubbin whacked a kitchen worker after the restaurant critic A. A. Gill called the food "disgusting", was hardly surprising.
I speak to them every week for Times2's Dine Out column and know how sensitive they are to criticism. After an indifferent review from Gill of his third restaurant, Galvin La Chapelle, Chris Galvin told me: "I can't stand the man. I'd bar him if I had my vote but my brother won't let me."
Gill also fell foul of the chef-proprietor Jason Atherton when he said that the chef's name was too large on the menus at Pollen Street Social in London. "My name is on the menu…

8 Pinterest Mistakes That Are Hurting Your Business
Is Pinterest working as well for you as it should be? If not, you might be making one of these eight Pinterest mistakes. Read on to see what mistakes you might be making, and how to fix them!
*This post contains affiliate links, which means that if you click a link and make a purchase, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support!
1. Not using a business account
When you sign up for Pinterest you have the option of selecting a business account or a personal account. Select a business account (or switch to one, if you've already got an account).A business account gives you a lot of options that a personal account doesn't, including analytics, promoted pins, and rich pins. Plus, it's against Pinterest's TOS to promote your business from a personal account.
Business accounts are free, so make the switch. It's easy to do, just go to settings and you'll see the option to do it.
2. Ignoring SEO
Pinterest SEO (search engine optimization) is absolutely key to getting your content seen, clicked, and repinned. Pinterest relies on keywords to know what your content is all about. So you need to be using keywords everywhere.
You should be using keywords:
In your profile description
In your board titles
In your board descriptions
In your pin descriptions
If you're not using keywords everywhere that you can, you're missing out on an opportunity to tell Pinterest what your content is about and gave it come up in relevant search results and Smart Feeds.
Expert tip: Find keywords by typing in your topic in the search bar. Pinterest will then populate a whole list of other words underneath. These are great keywords because they are words that other people are searching along with the phrase that you typed in. Use these as your keywords and you'll be all set.
3. Not actively pinning
Pinterest values active accounts and active boards. If you aren't pinning frequently, or if you have particular boards that have been sitting dormant for weeks or months, then you're going to get dinged. Make sure that all of your boards are getting pinned to on a regular basis.
Tools like Tailwind are great solutions to this problem. They'll automate your pinning for you, so you'll be pinning all day long without actually doing anything.
4. Leaving irrelevant boards on your account
Your Pinterest profile should line up with your brand. If you blog about travel, you shouldn't be pinning about vegan breakfast recipes. That's what secret boards are for. Take any irrelevant boards on your account and make them secret (don't delete them or else you'll lose followers).Keep all of the boards on your account on topic. You should be able to think of plenty of subtopics for your topic to fill up some boards.
5. Having a blog that isn't Pinterest-friendly
Meanwhile, back on your blog, you want to make sure that your content is shareable. And easily shareable at that. Tools like SumoMe will add social sharing buttons to your blog that allow people to easily share your post with one click.
You don't want people to have to hunt around for a way to share your content, so make it easy for them.
6. Not having a board for your own content
The first board listed in your profile should be a board dedicated entirely to your own blog posts, no one else's. That way people who are interested can see all of your content in one place and decide that you're awesome.
If you don't have this board, then there's no centralized place for people to see your content. That means they likely won't see it at all.
7. Not having branded images
You should make sure that your Pinterest images are branded. Don't use a new design for every single pin. Stick to a template. You want people to be scrolling through their Smart Feed and recognize a pin as yours (and hopefully click it because they know that your content is good). It's ok to A/B test a couple different designs now and again, but keep it as consistent as you can.
8. Not utilizing group boards
Make sure to take advantage of Pinterest's group board feature. A group board is a board where more than one person contributes pins. Some of them have hundreds of contributors and tens of thousands of followers. When you become a contributor, you can get your pin in front of a way larger audience than you could on your own.To find group boards, try looking at the accounts of some other people in your niche and checking out what group boards they are in. The group board description will tell you whether or not it's open to new contributors, and if it is, how to join.Join a few group boards and get your content in front of that new audience.
So there you have it! Stop making these eight mistakes and your Pinterest account will thank you for it.

I've always been partial to hats made by Cassel Goorin, and their press release (Hats Are Back for 120-Year-Old Hat Company) announces the opening of two new Goorin stores in San Francisco.
With hat sales booming, the two new locations opened this month give the San Francisco based company three hat stores in one city. Goorin Brothers has been headquartered in San Francisco since 1949 selling wholesale and opened its first retail store in North Beach in 2007.
"Despite these tough economic times," says fourth-generation hatter, Ben Goorin, "I am excited to open the hat shops and bring back a tradition that started with my great-grandfather. Demand for fedoras, flat cap ivys and other classic-inspired hats continues to be strong. It is rewarding to see San Francisco's positive response to the new hat shops."
Congratulations to a fabulous company and long may you prosper!
Thanks for reading,
Steve Singer
CEO Hartford York
