Eggplant Zucchini Veggie pizza with Pesto and Feta – aka slice of heaven
I made this last night – and ben and i agreed that it was in the top three pizzas we have ever eaten. I made up the recipe and thought you would enjoy!
Ingredients-
1 large egg plant
1 zuchini
cherry tomatos
1/2 purple onion
arugula (optional)
diced nuts (pine nuts?? optional)
1 goats feta or feta soaked olive oil (comes this way in a jar or tupperware)
1/2 cup basil spread or pesto
salt
olive oil
garlic paste
pizza base or dough
(I spent roughly 25 dollars on the meal and it makes 2 pizzas)
1. Cut eggplant into 1/4 inch slices – salt liberally (see video below, the process softens the eggplant and brings out flavor) let set out for 30 min – 1 hour
2. Meanwhile, cut zucchini long ways into thin strips. Cut onion and cherry tomatos. Put zucchini and tomatos in oven at 400 F for 8 minutes.
4. After the eggplant has soaked – rinse with water. Then glaze with a light layer of olive oil and fry in pan on high heat. Flip when size blackens.
5. While frying spread basil or pesto as the sauce on the pizza base.
6. Place fried eggplant pieces, baked zuchini slices, and cherry tomatos on pizza base.
7. Fry the purple onions with a little oil and 2 tbs garlic paste until blackened. Then decorate pizza with.
8. Crumble feta over the pizza.
9. Bake for 20 minutes (until base is crispy and golden brown) at 400 F. (check the temperature with the pizza base you choose)
In sydney, the girls wear lace up vintage leather boots with floral print dresses. It is always interesting to incorporate feminine pieces with scuffed up leather. Sometimes, the best style is when you incorporate garments or accessories you don’t think would go together. My grandmother always says, when decorating your home, as long as you like everything then different pieces work together. That your taste is the underlying factor that ties the room together. I think this philosophy also works with fashion; whether it be an outfit, your closet, or just your personal style. Here are some floral & leather inspirations – think Sienna Miller.

Woods three clear in Australia

THE SPORTS NETWORK
Tiger Woods posted a four-under 68 on Friday to move three clear of the field after the second round of the JBWere Masters.
Woods, making a rare appearance in Australia, finished 36 holes at 10-under 134 at Kingston Heath Golf Club.
It was a bogey-free round for the world No. 1 on Friday and it came in demanding, windy conditions.
“To shoot 68 today, I thought that was a pretty good number, considering the conditions,” said Woods, who shared the first-round lead after Thursday’s opening round.
James Nitties, who shared first with Woods after round one, managed a one- under 71 and is tied for second place with Greg Chalmers (69) and Jason Dufner (67). The group is in at seven-under 137.
This relatively unheralded trio has the task of chasing the game’s best and will have to make up three strokes against the best closer in the history of the sport.
After a six-under 66 on Thursday, Woods flew out of the gate on Friday. He birdied his first two holes, then birdied the sixth for the second round in a row.
Woods appeared to be in danger of dropping a shot at the ninth. However, he holed a gutsy 10-footer to save par, keep his bogey-free round going and remain atop the leaderboard.
At the par-five 12th, Woods sank a five-foot birdie putt to reach 10-under par. One hole later, he once again had five feet for birdie, but this time his putt stayed above ground.
Woods hit a poor drive at the par-five 14th and tried a risky shot from the left side. It didn’t pay off and Woods was in a fairway bunker after his second. He finally made it to the putting surface with his fourth shot and had a seven-footer to save par. The game’s best drained the par effort to stay in front at minus-10.
Woods had fairly easy birdie tries at the next two holes, but came up empty. He made a nice par from just off the green at 17 and hit an errant drive at the closing hole.
He was on the right side, but hit a strong approach just inside 20 feet. Woods’ birdie try never broke to the hole, but he tapped in for the bogey-free round and the second-round lead.
“Today I didn’t really do anything great, but I made two big par putts at nine and 14 to keep the round going,” said Woods. “I did have a couple of short birdie putts that I missed, but not to drop a shot today on the card, those are always a day you feel quite good about.”
Mathew Goggin carded a two-under 70 and is tied for fifth place with Ashley Hall (69) and Manny Villegas (68). They finished 36 holes at six-under 138.
Australia’s Stuart Appleby (70), Steven Bowditch (68), Mahal Pearce (68), Cameron Percy (72) and Bernd Wiesberger (67) are knotted in eighth place at minus-five.
Branden Grace, the third first-round co-leader, struggled to a three-over 75 on Friday and fell into a tie for 16th place with, among others, Aaron Baddeley and defending champion Rod Pampling, at three-under 141.
Adam Scott is part of a group tied for 22nd at minus-two, while former U.S. Open champion Geoff Ogilvy shares 42nd at plus-one.
The 36-hole cut came at three-over 147 and former U.S. Open winner Michael Campbell and Sam Saunders, the grandson of Arnold Palmer, missed the weekend.

I was flipping through Australian Vogue and saw an article on this fashion editorial from 1983. What really caught my attention was the white shirt looking jumpsuit. I thought it was the perfect reinvention of a t-shirt and want to attempt my own recreation.
Quote from Vogue 2009 on these images “Early-Eighties fashion was still hitched to the tail end of the seventies, and funny or off-beat and bewildering. Demarchelier’s photographs, however; rejoiced in a breezy naturalism that needed no eludication.”
is there anything better than snail mail? the answer is no… aside from my deep routed love for technology, no other form of communication gets me quite as excited as reicieving a letter or package… it is so personal, thoughtful and oh so classic ;D. I especially love when it comes in a nontraditional form (many thanks to ali, kate, and my mom for keeping my mailbox full)
here are some creative letters i have been meaning to post…

Pictures photographed by Mariano Vivanco for Wonderland’s October 2010 issue… I particularly like the saturation, tones, and fashion styling in this editorial… and even though all the Megan Fox hype is out of control, I will be the first to admit I am in awe of her radiant beauty. She is a nuance pinup- modern, sexy, fresh. Megan Fox does not look jaded for her “rebel without a cause” reputation. For being so sexy and “bad”, to me she seems wholesome and relatable? anyways… enjoy these memorable photographs of miss foxy herself…
^the chunky oversized jewelry, rich deep jewel tones, and her glowing skin is a recipe for an unbelievable photo-shoot. The styling is also interesting – I like the juxtaposition of luxury metals & fabrics against the rustic desert landscape.
