I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time. Herbert Bayard Swope

Today I talked to a bunch of kiwis - by Ana Cissa Pinto

Image
Today I talked to a bunch of kiwis. No no, I am not talking about New Zealanders. I am talking about the actual fruit. I went into a store and saw a big pile of good-looking kiwis. I swear the kiwis lured me towards them, and I decided to pick one. I looked at the pile and I asked: “Which one of you is the sweetest of all?” And all the little kiwis directed me to this specific hairy chubby green kiwi in the middle of the pile. Now, here’s the thing, either I am losing my mind and talking to fruit or I am actually in tune with the universe. I say that because, rewinding a bit on my story, an hour or so before my kiwi encounter, I was taking a yoga class and had to stop my practice a few times due to severe muscle cramps on my legs. Just out of curiosity, once I got home and was ready to have my kiwi, I googled about kiwi’s properties. To my surprise, the first phrase I read was: “Kiwis are one of the best things for the prevention of Hypokalemia .” Hypokalemia is a me

About my favorite car, the Aston Martin DB6 Volante

Image
The Aston Martin DB6 is a grand tourer made by British car manufacturer Aston Martin. Produced from September 1965 to January 1971, the DB6 has the longest production run to date of any Aston Martin model. The DB6 succeeded the popular Aston Martin DB5 and featured improved aerodynamics and specification over its predecessor. Introduced at the 1965 London Motor Show, the DB6 was already a dated design, sharing a large resemblance to its predecessor, the DB5; with the most noticeable differences being its wheelbase, side profile, split front and rear bumpers and rear panels incorporating the Kammback tail rear end. The tail, combined with the relocated rear-axle and the 3.75-inch (95 mm) lengthened wheelbase, provided more stability at high speed. Performance was satisfactory: road-tests of the day observed top speed of the Vantage model between 145 mph to 148 mph, with intrepid and fearless John Bolster aboard a Vantage spec DB6 reaching a two-way average of 152 mph.

Ah, the ol'drink'n'text....

Image
Spanking new column, about tips on "HOW TO GET THE GIRL" Today's Tip: Ah, the ol'drink'n'text.... Did you drink and text? And she never got back in touch with you after that? Well perhaps you should check your phone and see what you wrote to her. Drinking and texting can be rather hazardous. Ok so, do you think that what you wrote could be interpreted as something RUDE ? Yes? Well...how about an APOLOGY ? And by that, I mean, make a regretful acknowledgment of your idiotic mistake, and do tell her that this will never happen again. You should try and make a formal defense or justification in speech or writing...along with some flowers...why not. She might forgive you, depending on the degree of the damage caused by your drunken behavior. Good luck!

"The Best Is Yet To Come"

Some songs are sweet, some are melancholic, some are beautiful, some are sad.. some are healing and some can be disturbing...some are relaxing and some are energizing..some just put a big smile on your face and make your heart sing along.. I find this particular song ABSOLUTELY JUICY - the lyrics drip with deliciousness. Enjoy it! Click the link to listen to the song http://tinysong.com/ksNL "The Best Is Yet To Come" Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plum You came along and everything started to hum Still its a real good bet, the best is yet to come The best is yet to come, and baby wont it be fine You think you've seen the sun, but you aint seen it shine Wait till the warm-up's underway Wait till our lips have met Wait till you see that sunshine day You aint seen nothin yet The best is yet to come, and baby wont it be fine The best is yet to come, come the day your mine The best is yet to come Come the day your mine Oh come the day your mine I'm gonna t

a dream come true: A TIRAMISU BAR!

Image
My favorite dessert now in a superstore! Introducing Dolce Vizio , a West Village sweetshop shrine that holds within its walls enough espresso-soaked ladyfingers to feed a small army, opening Saturday. Make no mistake: what you’re dealing with here is quite literally the most concentrated collection of tiramisu available anywhere outside of Milan. You see, all this sliver of a storefront does is bake, beat and fill little clear bowls with alternating layers of soft biscuits, mascarpone cheese and sifted cocoa powder. The recipes: straight from the Old Country. The flavors: Nutella, limoncello, orange espresso or anything else they might have lying around the kitchen. Now that you have direct access to the mother lode of made-daily tiramisu, it’s important that you exercise some measure of restraint. Ideally, you’ll want to limit reps at this red, white and wood Italian café to those precious mid-date interludes that require something with a little more panache than frozen
