Zink Magazine: Gothic Prague Today
Prague. It is described by Franz Kafka as “the Mother of cities, which will sink its claws into you and never let go” This is quite true. Getting to know Prague isn’t unlike “love at first sight.” Your first breath of Prague is your last chance. Try to resist the storybook, pre 20th Century cobblestoned […]
Baked Eggplant
Let’s cook healthy. Take one whole eggplant. Wash and cut off the ends. Slice into rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick and leave the skin on. Next, put all of the dry seasonings into a small plate and mix it up. You want to evenly coated eggplant circles so pour olive oil into a dish and […]
Lime Sweet Potatoes
Clean and wash the sweet potatoes. I like to use a potato brush accompanied by a vegetable wash. My “potato brush” is a dish brush with a cute flower handle that I use only for things like scrubbing root vegetables. Once dry, cut the sweet potatoes into wedges or spears no more than 1/2 inch […]

My London- The Hourglass and Pam
No matter how much I love music being away from home is NEVER easy. Luckily I have found a fantastic boutique hotel. They are so nice to me here. Long trips in a single destination at least allows for a sense of familiarity to make things feel more homey. It is 5 times now, at […]
PINK WARRIORS
Pink. It’s the color of love, roses, “it’s a girl,” cotton candy, my favorite color, your favorite dress, fuchsia, magenta, hot, bubble gum, baby, and our favorite singer. We wear it in our cheeks, lips, and our hearts. Some wear it on their sleeve as a symbol of another thing entirely. Hard to believe two […]

Naked Lox
Katrina’s Kitchen Naked Lox Ingredients:Smoked Salmon AKA LoxFresh Lemon JuiceCapersRed OnionCream Cheese For better or worse we are conditioned to eat certain things with “mandatory” accompaniments. For example, no one says “I am eating lox.” It is always “I am going to have bagels & lox.” Changing it up has never been a problem in […]
Tomat’Amuse-Bouche
[av_one_full first] [av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”] Amuse-Bouche is a small appetizer. In French it literally means “entertains (the) mouth” and this small bite size snack should be edible in just one bite. Other than the “single bite” requirement pretty much anything goes when it comes to properly utilizing the fancy French label. A friendly neighbor […]
Tomato & Avocado Salad
Lately many friends have shared with me their dilemma, they want to eat healthy but simply do not have the time to cook. It made me more aware of the quick recipes that are great served raw and with little prep time required. Tomatoes are in season right now and so are avocados, two ingredients […]
Zucchini
Stovetop cooking is my go-to so I decided to change things up. Noticing that some oven roasted vegetables get a sweet caramelized flavor gave me ideas, so I thought why not zucchini? Start by washing and cutting off the rough ends. Slice your zucchini into rounds approximately 1/8 inch thick or shall I say thin, […]

Yoga Bunny- a lettuce free salad
There is a lovely young lady staying with me for the summer to intern at my sweetie’s law firm. She’s been quite pleasant to have around. Her brain works overtime without effort, her soul is older than her years, and her palate is irregularly choosey. My sweet house guest loves yoga, and hates lettuce- two […]
