Come Party With Me: Italian Christmas Eve — Menu

To get the party started we'll have raw oysters and cold, marinated anchovies waiting for the guests.

Simple Tip: Save Shrimp Shells to Make Stock
While I love to buy deveined and shelled shrimp from my fishmonger, it's more affordable to buy the shrimp with the shell still intact. Thus, I normally remove the shells myself. Then to get more bang for my buck, I use them to make fish stock.
In Season: Spring Onions
It's hard to appreciate the onset of Spring without considering the glorious bounty of new produce options at the farmers market. This week, I was enraptured by the spring onions.

Dressing for school or college can be difficult, particularly when you don't know what the weather is going to be like. Here in England we like to layer items to prepare for the varying temperature.
Sugar reader Bisque opted for layers and a big, oversized handbag for her school look.

How-To: LeAnn Rimes' CMT Awards Makeup
Last night at the 2008 Country Music Television Awards, LeAnn Rimes looked like she could have been walking down the red carpet in the 1940s.
