Framed Objects


I love this idea of framed objects. It is so unique, and artistic, and functional.
"These frames—with a vase, shelf, or hooks—decorate and emphasize the objects held within. Turn flowers, books, keys, jewelry, articles of clothing, and other ordinary objects into works of art."

Caprese Alla Mani


I love all things Italian and insalata caprese is one of them. This simple salad is the perfect combination of ingredients for a happy mouth. 

The other day, I broke the rule of simplicity of this dish and added a few extra ingredients to make it caprese alla mani. I wouldn't have done so but the baby spinach was soon going bad so I decided to incorporate it into my other caprese ingredients. 

Caprese alla mani is simply the basic caprese ingredients: tomato, mozzarella and basil incorporated with baby spinach leaves, butter beans, and pieces of prosciutto crudo (thinly sliced and uncooked). I would have used cannellini beans instead if I've had them in the kitchen. Of course, I added salt and extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar as dressing. 

It was the perfect combination for a heartier salad with extra source of iron from the spinach.

For the adventurous: "Should an emergency survival situation arise, you now have over 100 feet of 550 parachute/survival cord that can save your life in countless different survival scenarios." (tiedowns, lashings, shelter building, friction fire making, fishing line and nets, splints, repairing equipment, tooth floss and many more)
