Winter is coming.
1/2 cabbage head chopped -- add to lightly salted water, bring to boil.
Add 3 celery sticks chopped.
Keep on medium heat for 20 min.
Sauté 1 carrot cut the way it makes you happy with 1 chopped onion in olive oil.
Add to boiling soup.
10 more min.
Serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Good for 3 days in a row and better every day.

Me still into linen, long skirts, funky cardigans
How can I get this one -- Eleen Fisher
Handkerchief Linen Cinchable Long Skirt with "rushed" effect @ cheap?
For I am cheap though I have money.
I see no justification for spending 248$ on a skirt at Neuman Marcus vs. spending 50$ and using the rest for good cause.
Like buying a case of soft guns and distributing them among boy from the neighborhood so they can shoot woodpeckers (woodpecker being migrating birds and protected species, so adults can't shoot them from air guns).
Another idea -- to buy Singer sewing machine and put something together myself. Pays off long term for sure.

Women's 360 Sweater Emmanuelle Cashmere Blend Cardigan is also of interest to me. Cute, cure design. British. Think All Saints.

Quck meat pie
This particular one was cooked on the occasion of no food left, no time to go to the store... scraped whatever was available.
That is: 1 pound of ground beef (organic, and it probably it matters from taste perspective), 1 can of green peas, salt, black pepper, ground cloves, ground ginger - and no onions, though I would've added chopped onion and 1/2 can of cord with 1/ can of green peas if I had the luxury to choose my ingredients. Mix them all.
For pie crist -- 2 eggs, whatever flour was left, which was about 6 table spoons, ~ 1/2 cup of iced water. Mix and flatten in round with pin roll.
Make this dough soft but strong enough to hold on the the sides of a pot.
Yes, I used aluminum pot which is also used for making pilaf.
A medium size one.
So place the filling into the dough and cover with the dough from the sides . Your pie will be most likely not fully covered which some windows left for the filling. Which is good. It will breath, it will start producing right smell to invoke appetite at the right time.
Bake for about 18-24 minutes at about 450-500F.

Material life in 3D -- and you are in control
3D is coming for us.
I personally own a ring printed by a friend, STL file courtesy of CAD business owner, design by serious jeweler from Spain who used 3D software for custom design of a fancy ring to be made of platinum, gold and a handful of diamonds.
My ring is made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. It crumbles because it's just the base, awaiting for golden animals and diamonds to be inserted in assigned positions. Well, had the base been made out of platinum, it probably won't curmble at all.
Next question: could 3D printers use metal wire to print?
According to my superficial reading on the subject, the answer is positive.
This recent article in Daily Mail referes to control over shoes which are even more important objects in our daily life than rings:
shoes on a 3D printer (and this revolutionary shopping trend will change all our lives)

My own post on Jimmy Choo's shoes was even more trivial. Something about wedges.
But let's compare the shoes, these high-heel sandals. Tell me whether it's Jimmi Choo on the left and 3D printed shoes on the rigjht or visa versa. For me it's all the same - I can wear neither of them for the reasons not related to dirty subject of money.

Beets and goat cheese arugula salad
Ingredients
Arugula 8 oz
Beets 1 medium
Goat cheeze 8 oz
Balsamic vinegar
Extra virgin olive oil
Preparation
Cook beets in microwave or boil on the stove unpeeled (same way you'll prepare a big potato -- just it will take 2.5 times longer).
Dress a generous pile of arugula salad with olive oil mixed with balsamic vinegar (hint: if you balsamic vinegar is cheap and watery, heat it and make it more condenced).
Top it with chunks of goat cheese and slices of peeled beets.
This salad is very elegant, pleasing for the eye and the palate.
Enjoy!
