Tandoori turkey in the oven
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat).
So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven. By next year I hope to build my own tandoor, or at least grill this guy, because it needs a little more heat to crisp up properly.

I always knew they existed - I have seen their chic dresses, sexy heels and cool tops. I am talking about Topshop. I got even excited when I found out that they opened a store in NYC, although I live in Denver, Colorado. I must say things come around a lot slower around here and don't get me wrong, there are nice stores here, but it's not to the point where they satisfy my fashion cravings.
This is when the beauty of online shopping comes in handy. My friend Sophie loves to shop online. She says that it's the best because she can buy things anytime,even in 2 in the morning, not have to worry about driving to the mall ( and not finding anything at the mall!!) and in most cases there's no sales tax and a little shipping and usually the return and exchange are easy.
I must say I was never comfortable of buying clothes online. Shoes and bags, I'm OK with. With clothes, things are different simply because every brand has slightly different sizing and all. Topshop seemed no exceptions. It's from UK, and I know sometimes the equivalent of those sizes can be confusing...( look at H&Ms!)
One day, as I was looking through tons of pictures as always - new trends, jackets and coats for fall and winter. And there it was. I fell in love with this striped knit jacket from Topshop. I looked at the price and fell in love with it even more - it's only $80!!
Knitted Stripe Jacket
$80.00 at Topshop
I had to go to the store - but wait, there is no Topshop here in Denver! As I envied those folks in NYC, I went online. I quickly navigated myself to look for the jacket and there it was! I want, I want! Pause. What is my size?
Suddenly, I was lost. I usually wear 2 or 4, depending on the brand. I have jackets and tops that run rather smaller and larger and what????? While all those thoughts kept going around my head, I looked up on the sizing chart. Hmmm....I think I am 4 but I don't want it to be too tight since it's a knit jacket....oh well, let's just order 6 in case and if it didn't fit, I'd just exchange it.

It is a bright, Indian summer afternoon in the Litchfield Hills, and the downtown streets of this tourist mecca look invitingly peaceful.
But the communication lines connecting First Selectwoman Ruth Epstein to the outside world have been anything but peaceful for two weeks as the passions aroused by the 9/11 tragedy have turned Kent into a national lightning rod over terrorism, Islam and the role towns should play in memorializing the dead.
Epstein, a former journalist who is stepping down after two terms as first selectwoman, was approached more than a year ago by Peter Gadiel, the father of James Gadiel, a young Kent native who worked as a trader in the World Trade Center and perished in the 2001 terrorist attacks.

I'm going to my very first ballet this Friday (on my b-day!) and I have been trying to figure out what the heck to wear over my dress. After attempting to decide all week long, I decided it was probably time to enlist some help. This is the dress I am wearing:

I live in upstate NY and the show is at 7 so it will be chilly (probably between 40-50 degrees).

Yeah I guess I'm stupid, I'm bitchy, I suck. I don't know what's going on. Suddenly Cheeteck gets mad at me; suddenly Jianhao doesn't talk to me; suddenly, I have to attend church myself.

First of all, Kristen Stewart showed up to the event sporting some short hair in an all-black ensemble. The actress was adamant in continuing to deny any rumors of a real-life romance with Robert Pattinson.Stewart seemed upbeat when she addressed the audience and announced, "The whole rumor, tabloid stuff, it's so obviously false." She added, "I don't take it personally, because I have gotten so much experience with this, it's gotten easier."However, she admits that she can "understand that people have a hard time seeing us outside of our characters."
