One of my latest haunts on the web is a relatively new site called Golubka. Its a mother-daughter collaboration covering good food, clever design, and some things in between. The "in between" would be photographs – lots of them – that make me want to jump up off my chair and dive right into the computer screen.

Case in point: this gorgeous glass of greeeeeeeen smoothie. Twenty-month-old Paloma drinks them twice a day. { Id like to gnaw on Palomas sweet cheeks twice a day. Such a cutie! }

Paloma likes lots of her mamas sexy raw vegan recipes. I betcha you will too once you get a taste.

Live a little. Its the weekend.

Mix well with your hands to combine. Drain and rinse the grape leaves. Put a sm...

Stressed? Maybe ornithine can help. Or is this study just a hoax!? Sounds like marketing shenanigan, right? "Lower Cortisol, Higher DHEA, Better Sleep W/ Only 400mg of Ornithine Pre-Bed." Ok, if it was marketing it would probably say "with only 5g of ornithine." I mean, 400mg thats not enough to generate significant revenues - is it?
