English Folk-lore has many tales of Magpies acting as cheeky, thieving, feathered rascals who fly off with prized, sentimental, items of jewellery. By turning the bones of Magpies into jewellery my collections subvert these folk-lore's by making the Magpies into the jewellery that they would make their loot! My Rose Gold Vermeil Magpie Bones are cast from actual Magpie bones. I find Magpies endlessly fascinating. Magpies don't live by the same Darwinian rules as other Corvids, they lead rich & complex lives. One of the most remarkable things that has been discovered about Magpies is that they are the only non-mammal that demonstrates mirror self-recognition! I marvel at their beauty and at their brains and this has inspired my collection. This design is perfect for adding a cute & gothic edge to any outfit, whilst also being a bold statement piece that's very comfortable to wear continually. I have chosen the delicate, pretty, subtle tones of 22 karat rose gold for this collection to lend a femininity to what has traditionally been quite a masculine motif. These are pieces to wear and treasure every day, everywhere, over a lifetime, and are heirlooms of the future. Solid Hallmarked Sterling Silver with a substantial coating of durable 22 karat Rose Gold Cocktail Ring

Wade Rule decides to escape his dominating mother by taking it upon himself to go to Vermont to care for his wheelchair-bound uncle who, Wade's father tells him, has recently lost his girlfriend to a "man whose legs work." Wade reveals his dream to a fellow high school student, Maria, who tells him, "I'd run off to Vermont before I'd live with my father." Wade then knows he'll have to hurry because Maria is planning to have herself declared a ward of the state within a week. She has given Wade the confidence to get them both to a better home; however, Wade's confidence is misplaced, and when he shows up at school with a shotgun to fetch Maria, things quickly go horribly wrong.

With a little imagination you can turn a "diet" into a life-style of truly sensational eating. Just because we wish to consume fewer carbohydrates should be no reason to assume we want to eat less tasty food. Whether you are trying a particularly low carb diet such as the early stages of Atkins, or a more forgiving "slow carb diet" there will be recipes, hints and ideas to help you remain satisfied with the flavor of what you are now eating, whilst you lose weight. In fact, I am pretty confident that none of the following recipes will really seem like "diet" food at all, and should be healthy options you continue to enjoy even if you revert to a more traditional approach to carbohydrates in your future.

I left Canada in 1953 to work for the Red Cross in the Far East for the Canadian Forces in Korea and Japan. After my tour of duty I went to Australia, where I worked and hitchhiked to the Outback. On my way to South Africa I visited the Dutch West Indies, Borneo, Thailand, Singapore, Burma, and India. I spent two months traveling by bus and train in India, three weeks of which were in Kashmir. Once I arrived in Africa I worked in Durban and hitchhiked around South Africa and neighboring countries. I left for England in 1958 and I returned home to Quebec City in the fall of that year.

Jennifer Joyce presents a selection of 'street food' recipes from around the globe, the flavour-filled, exotic foods 'to go' that we may have bought from hawkers or markets on our overseas travels, or that we purchase from our local takeaway or food truck. With this book, we can whip up a rich variety of international street food ourselves, creating dishes that are quick and easy to prepare, and which are often cheaper and usually much healthier than the bought variety. A collection of 150 dishes (organised into chapters by country) draws together recipes for mouth-watering tacos, burgers, curries, souvlaki, gozleme, noodles and dumplings, ceviche, pizza and many more. Clever shortcuts like spice pastes and modern cooking methods (for example, using a pressure cooker to create meltingly tender meat in a snap) mean the majority of dishes can be prepared and served in a really timely and efficient way for relaxed weekday eating.

After living in large and medium sized cities all over the U.S. and England we found ourselves in a very small town in central Illinois. Instead of a choice of food stores I found one store, which didn't carry many products I was used to buying. That started the adventure. Often there was someone who would stop me and point to something and ask, "What is that and what do you do with it?" So I found myself standing in the aisles explaining what something was and giving out recipes. One day I got a phone call from Steve Hoffman, the Editor of the Farmer City Journal. He said he wanted me to write a food column for the paper."What would you want me to write?"I asked."Anything you want," he said. "You know recipes and such, I guess."How many words?"Whatever you need."I called my friend, Pat, and said, "what have you gotten me into, and what will I call this column?"She quickly said, "My Neighbor's Kitchen".I was actually going to be paid for talking? My husband said that should be easy, and won't take much time, so why not?" Beware of such comments. Where would I find the time I asked myself. I'm already swamped trying to keep up with my work as a photo restorationist. And there was always genealogy research and lectures, the filming of several hours of genealogy research lectures to be shown on the local TV station, working in the Family History Center, the family newsletter I was trying to get started, and all the things around the house that were getting short shrift. It wasn't easy and it did take a lot of time, but I also learned I liked writing whatever I wanted. Well, the ideas started rolling. If I imagined I was sitting in a neighbor's kitchen, talking about this and that, we would end up talking about recipes. What if I started the column the same way-hmm-It might work. So that's how it started. At the beginning of each column I would have a little topical essay that would segue into a food and nutrition column. As with most things the idea was easier than th

500 years ago no-one died of stress: we invented this concept and now we let it rule us. We might have evolvedto be able to miraculously balance on seven-inch heels, but as far as our emotional development is concerned we're still swimming with the pond scum. If we don't advance our more human qualities then we're doomed evolution-wise to become cyborgs, with an imprint of an 'Apple' where our hearts used to be. Ruby Wax shows us a scientific solution to these modern problems: mindfulness.I know what you're thinking - what if I don't want to stare at a butterfly wing or hear the single ting of a wind chime? My definition of mindfulness isn't about sitting erect on a hillock, legs in a knot, humming a mantra that's probably the phone book sung backwards, it's something that can help us all: learning to notice your thoughts and feelings so you can truly experience life. Outrageously witty, smart and accessible, Ruby Wax shows ordinary people how and why to change for good. With mindfulness advice for relationships, for parents, for children and for teenagers, and a six-week course based on her studies of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy with Mark Williams at Oxford University, A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled is the only guide you need for a healthier, happier life.

Working conditions don't get any better than this job. It's high paying and includes a furnished apartment…and not just any apartment, but a penthouse above the office building. "The kitchen is really the only communal area, so we probably won't run into each other very often." What? So that means… Thus begins the businesslike roommate arrangement of the boss and his secretary. But a single phone call changes their lives…and their location. "My daughter has been expelled from boarding school. I'm going to take her home and you have to come live with me." And so, the two of them face what is waiting for them in Oxfordshire…

The Persians of antiquity were renowned for their lavish cuisine and their never-ceasing fascination with the exotic. These traits still find expression in the cooking of India's rapidly dwindling Parsi population-descendants of Zoroastrians who fled Persia after the Sassanian empire fell to the invading Arabs. The first book published in the United States on Parsi food written by a Parsi, this beautiful volume includes 165 recipes and makes one of India's most remarkable regional cuisines accessible to Westerners. In an intimate narrative rich with personal experience, the author leads readers into a world of new ideas, tastes, ingredients, and techniques, with a range of easy and seductive menus that will reassure neophytes and challenge explorers.
