The Morning After: Locally Grown
I’ve been leisurely reading this book called “Lunch in Paris” by Elizabeth Bard. In between the pages of vivid descriptions of Parisian markets and the love story are dining experiences and French recipes with cooking techniques that would put my cooking to shame.
It’s not the best book to read while healing from my wisdom teeth as I’m still suffering through a practically all-liquid diet with the occasional treat of mushy foods like mac and cheese or mashed potatoes.
But this book got me thinking about Honolulu’s culinary community. With a big push for “farm to the table” dining, and emphasis on local foods — what is now a growing fad has always been in most of the world. We as Americans have become so accustomed to having choices, convenience, and luxury in our dining experiences when most dinners are made from whatever is available. I’ve realized that I don’t appreciate this commodity nearly as much as I should and in this coming week I’d like to challenge myself to only purchase locally produced food at the market and at any restaurants.
If you would like to join me in this challenge, or have any suggestions on local restaurants that feature locally grown dishes please email me at StarAdvertiserLacy@gmail.com

The Morning After: Guest Starring Tiare Thomas
"I had so much planned for this weekend — from watching half-naked men play with fire to a delectable birthday dinner — but all plans went out the window when I started getting a severe migraine Wednesday night. It turned out that putting off having my wisdom teeth taken out all those years had finally caught up with me. I ended up spending the weekend reading books, sipping soup and being comforted by friends and family. So instead of boring you with my mundane weekend, I put my best friend on assignment. After saying “hot boys and fire,” it wasn’t difficult to convince her to cover a few events for me in between her hectic schedule as a stylist. I mean, what are best friends for?"

The Morning After
"I don’t know whether it was the weather, the mango pollen (which I’m allergic to), or just something my body decided was long overdue, but I slept a lot this weekend. Going to bed on a First Friday at 8 p.m. is unheard of in “Lacyworld.” But that’s exactly what I did last Friday.
My greatest accomplishment over the weekend was finishing two books: “Three Cups of Tea” and “Like Water for Chocolate.” Both had an overarching “love” element..."

Shimmer's Tuesday Styling Tips ~ FEATHERS
You've seen them everywhere by now...
Bright, bold, & neutral colored feathers!
On earrings, in hair, on clothes, etc.
Everyone has been sporting feathers.
From the Phoenix in Kanye West's Runaway video...
to Steven Tyler's hair in American Idol...
Feathers have been the new craze for 2011.
I personally love the free spirit feel of feathers.
They make a perfect touch to any Bohemian chic look.
And feathers will be sure to make
a statement at any fancy event.
Here are a few pieces that caught my eye.
