Resolution:
I tend to implement personal resolutions all year long, so when January first comes along, I like to pick a new project. This year I have lots of travel planned (Paris in January!) so I’ve decided to check out the top flower shops in each city I visit. I know I’ll see a lot of familiar blooms and design techniques, but I’ll also see containers, flower varieties and designs that are unique to that area and hugely inspiring!
Resolution Suggestion: Resolve to have fresh flowers in your office or home every week – they have a powerful effect on your spirit!
Figs with Cheese and Honey
Ingredients:
fresh whole figs
Stilton blue cheese
honey
freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
- Half (or quarter) the figs and place on a serving platter.
- Place small thin slices of Stilton on each fig and drizzle honey in stripes over the plater.
- Grind a small amount of black pepper over the figs.
- If Stilton isn’t your style, try delicious Manchego cheese.
