When I was little I thought being an adult meant not having a bed time but I’ve come to realize that it just means being in charge of my own bed time and it turns out that I am not equipped to handle that responsibility.

Silk Me Back – Arterial Kimono
Gorgeous kimono featuring the human arterial system designed by FMR for an exhibition in France, called Silk Me Back at the Nesle Gallery. Created to support victims of the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster, this exhibition featured 25 stunning kimonos like the one above. All of the kimono’s will be auctioned off on February 9th, 2013 in the Westin-Paris Vendôme hotel in Paris. Profits will be donated to KNK Japan/Children Without Borders and the Furusato Project.
If you look closely, you can see that the arterial system on the silk kimono is all handwritten with text from the Buddhist Sutta. Stunning detail down to the drops of blood on the collar!
Read more about the exhibit and view more of the kimonos at Pink Julep who attended the exhibit back in October.

high-altitude baking {click link for clear view}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure. While this is an excellent environment for training athletes, it is a difficult one for baking recipes.
Baking depends on the specific interactions of several kinds of ingredients: flour, leavening, fats, liquid.
To complicate things further, individual microclimates vary greatly in the mountains, so the adjustment that works for you may not work for your neighbor down (or up) the road.
These charts are meant as a starting point, to help you convert recipes. Different types of baked goods need different adjustments, and we offer suggestions about where to start further on including adjusting chemical leavens according to altitude and baking cookies at high-altitude.
It may take a few tries to get results you’re happy with; if possible, try to adjust only one ingredient at a time, so you can isolate the effect it has. Be sure to keep notes on what you’ve done, and try the smaller adjustments first when a range is given.
