"I think she's earned the right to wear as many hats as she wants." says Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler.
Yoko Ono is often identifiable by her dramatic millinery, of which she has a dizzying array. She is always wearing a hat literally and metaphorically. She is an artist, musician and icon. I cannot believe she is 78-years old. Have you seen her lately? She appears ageless. Her look these days is black and tailored, the variety in her wardrobe is in her hats.
Speaking of variety, it is the first day of summer and all I can think about is fruit salad. So many different summer fruits to choose from. My kids used to chant, "Fruit salad, yummy yummy", every time I made one. When I was a kid on those really hot summer days, my mother would do a buffet of fruits for dinner, served with cottage cheese. One of my favorite childhood meals.
It's funny, if I leave a pile of fruit on the counter a little will get eaten. If I stand there and cut it up into fruit salad it all disappears. For a party I like to put all different kinds of melon balls together with a little mint or basil. Or all the stone fruits. Mix them and let them macerate in their juices and a sprinkle of cane sugar.
Fruit salad is also tasty with a little Triple Sec drizzled over. Mix in a little lemon, lime or orange juice. The only thing I don't like in fruit salad are bananas. They always look and taste old. Best to eat them in the morning with yogurt.
Supreme a variety of citrus fruit and make an interesting salad to mix with sliced fennel. Or the all berry salad. You get the idea.
"Fruit Salad. Yummy, Yummy!"
