gluten free! it's a snap!
ha ha, check out my gluten free dinner and dessert... i was feeling so guilty about flourless chocolate cake for dinner, i had my green vegan protein shake for dessert! i'm not really gluten free or vegan, but sometimes what i eat is, yummm!
karen's flourless chocolate cake
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
Yield: Makes one 8-inch cake
4 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened) **** i used ghiradelli and scharfenberger unsweetened baking chocolate and i thought it was fine!!!
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder plus additional for sprinkling
Preheat oven to 375°F and butter an 8-inch round baking pan. Line bottom with a round of wax paper and butter paper. ****i used ramekins, and just buttered them up.
Chop chocolate into small pieces.
In a double boiler or metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate with butter, stirring, until smooth.
Remove top of double boiler or bowl from heat and whisk sugar into chocolate mixture.
Add eggs and whisk well.
Sift 1/2 cup cocoa powder over chocolate mixture and whisk until just combined.
Pour batter into pan and bake in middle of oven 25 minutes, or until top has formed a thin crust. ****just 20 minutes if you are using ramekins!
Cool cake in pan on a rack 5 minutes and invert onto a serving plate.
Dust cake with additional cocoa powder and serve with sorbet if desired. (Cake keeps, after being cooled completely, in an airtight container, 1 week.)
karen's green vegan protein shake
1/2 banana
1/2 cup mixed frozen fruit, strawberries, blueberries, mango
1 heaping tblsp vegan rice protein powder
1 scoop "The Perfect Food" (you can find it the cheapest on amazon!)
2 tsp whole flax seed
6-8 oz water
Put this all in a blender until desired consistency!

french import///french export
Lucky me I have friends in far away places that import goodies for me...
Lots of time I get a beautiful bottle of Bordeaux but this time I got a nice LP that will last me a little longer that 750ml of wine! And a happy A.P.C tote to boot, merci! I treated dinner at the famous the meatball shop, and said french friend had her first meatball slider ever! She was nice and primed to head back to Paris with a big stack of Ed. Varie goodies for Galerie Yvon Lambert bookshop. These booklets and print sets will soon grace their shelves!
Import. Export. International business, it's super easy:)

I've been spending lots of quiet contemplative time planning out the rest of the year with awesome HAPPENINGS. Please stay tuned to this channel for all of the regular gallery updates:)
The Gathering created, conceived and installed by Light Hits at Ed. Varie.
Exhibit and Performances May 5th through June 2nd 2011.
Opening Reception Thursday May 5th 6-9 pm.
Interested in expanding their creative process, Kelie Bowman and Jessie Rose Vala formed the collaborative partnership Light Hits in 2009. Light Hits explores themes of transformation, regeneration, sexuality, and feminine and masculine principals. The scope of their collaborations includes music, installation, video, animation, drawing and painting.
Light Hits has performed in various venues in the New York area focused on bridging the gap between the music and art worlds. Their performances involve costumes, installation, music and video projections that all work together to tell a non-linear narrative. Masks and costumes are worn to remove the notion of personal ego, and to represent a fantasy world of characters and archetypes.
Working in both two and three-dimensional practices Light Hits continues explore similar themes and motifs to draw those elements together. In 2010 Light Hits completed a wall installation for the exhibition Temple of Bloom at Cinders Gallery. In 2011 they composed a performance piece for the NY Scope Art Fair, as well as scored “Hausu”, a Japanese Movie performed live at Spectacle Theater in Brooklyn.
Light Hits will create The Gathering, a month long exhibition at Ed. Varie in New York City. The Gathering will incorporate all elements in which Light Hits creates, a two and three-dimensional wall installation, as well as various performances that will be presented throughout the month.
Gallery Hours Thursdays - Sundays 1-7 pm

yeah i was there, pt. 2
here is part 2 of bruise cruise spring break 2011! miami was awesome. the weather was perfect, the water was perfect and it's like perma happy hour, every hour, and even in the cabs. our hotel had at least 3 different happy hours a day, so it was hard to get out of there, but we did manage to take a "quick" trip to little havana. the coffee was exactly like it was in cuba! the food was better than cuba, but not by much. we went to this super old school place, it was pretty neat just to be there and see all the f*** fidele tshirts.
the boat part was awesome too OMG!!!! my only wish is that i was on the same side of the ship as the rest of my crew. the boat is huge so i would just plop myself on the lido deck and wait for my friends to find me. after a while they caught on, and it sort of became our hub. gabe was like our personal gopher//group mascot, he hands down had the best outfits and was constantly running around picking up the bottles of smuggled booze from one person's room, or another. other than lazing in the sun and being served drinks, i didn't do a whole lot on the ship. (that was the PLAN! duh.)
we got off the boat in the bahamas and proceeded to get kidnapped in a bus and taken to a little spot with a bunch of seafood restaurants called the fish fry. turns out the waiter was on the bus trying to collect clientele. nice angle dude. it's a cute little zone, and was nice to have a mini adventure, and a little local flavor, but can't say the food was all that outstanding or anything. after the show and dancing til 3am at senor frogs it was back to the boat for more one more day of fruity cocktails and fun in the sun!!!
last day was pretty blurry due to the completely free happy hour during and after the thee oh sees show. oops, oh well!!

yeah i was there, pt. 1
figured i better post these before they announce the next BRUISE CRUISE i mean, assuming that there will be another, (not that i would know or anything....) but take it from me, START SAVING now!!! (especially if next winter is anything like this past winter, the only place i will want to be is in my bikini on a boat floating in the caribbean sea with a cruiser cocktail in my hand!!)
my spring break started in key west where i got to catch up with my sister and her husband on their big awesome bus that they drive around the country as road reps. pretty snazzy. all the busses at this motorcoach stop were big and razzle dazzle, with a fancy car in tow... key west is super touristy. as you can see i was obsessed with all the chotch.
