St. Patty's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Here are a couple pictures as to how people celebrate across the country.

Dying the Chicago River green. The White House made the fountains green today as well.




Dressing up and changing the name of your city.

I just celebrate with a green beer every year and while wearing something green. Pretty low key.

Valentino The Last Emperor

The day has finally arrived

I can not wait to see this movie, I have such respect for Mr. Valentino. Anytime Valentino has granted a magazine a interview I have to read it, or anything on T.V. that has any bit of him I have to watch it. He is a true Fashion Icon, no one dresses the female body like Valentino. Now if only one day I can be privileged to own OK try on one of his pieces of art.

OPENING IN SELECTED CITIES STARTING MARCH 18: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco.

Shown around the world in film festivals to wide acclaim, VALENTINO THE LAST EMPEROR is a feature film that has captured the hearts and imaginations of audiences. It is a behind-the-scenes look at the world of fashion, featuring access never-before allowed in the high temples of Haute Couture. .

For those who have not heard of this amazing movie here is the Synopsis:

VALENTINO THE LAST EMPEROR is a feature-length film on the legendary designer Valentino Garavani in the wake of his exit in 2008 from the company he founded in Rome more than 45 years ago. Produced and directed by Matt Tyrnauer, Special Correspondent for Vanity Fair magazine, the film is an intimate, engaging and very funny fly-on-the-wall exploration of the singular world of one of Italy's richest and most famous men. The film documents the colorful and dramatic closing act of Valentino’s celebrated career, tells the story of his extraordinary life and work, and also explores the larger themes affecting the fashion business today. But at the heart of the film is the unique relationship between Valentino and his business partner and companion of 50 years, Giancarlo Giammetti. Source: www.valentinomovie.com

Celebrity Chefs' Top Recipes

Since I am a DVR girl watching live shows never happens for me. While catching up on my weekly shows I came across a Oprah where she had Celebrity Chefs come into a family and makeover how they cook. Please Tyler Florence come to the SS household, his recipes are some of my favorites. They shared one family's average was $400 on takeout a week (this is really crazy to me) and after they were done a week at the grocery store was $59. Pretty amazing...

Over the past year I have started really enjoying cooking for Mr. SS and am always on the hunt for fast, healthy recipes. So I was hooked and had to watch the entire episode. The chefs that were on the show were Cat Cora, Curtis Stone and Tyler Florence. They spent time not only revealing 50 great recipes, but also making them all available online and the shopping list. Could it be any easier??

So if you are interested in the recipes and shopping lists go to Oprah. If you try any of the recipes and really like them don't forget to share your thoughts.
