First Day Introduction, Hope you like it!

Amalfi Coast, Italy

This is my beautiful wife Elena. I love this picture of her. It captures her natural beauty and describes who she really is. My wife has done all of the behind the scenes work. She has single handedly taken my vision and incorporated it into this blog…A computer expert, I am not! LOL

Puddy aka The Pudster

Of course I can’t forget Puddy, he has changed my life over the past year. “Man’s Best Friend” is an understatement!

Summer 2010

I took this picture of myself on my friends farm, July 2010. It was the best summer of my life. I learned so much about character, hard work and giving 100% in life. Whether it was watering plants, pulling out fence posts, bailing hay, or making a beautiful meal, he taught me that success isn’t about a pay check. It’s about giving life all you got, over turning every stone and digging in like there’s no tomorrow. To Scott and his cool wife Donna Thank You! Quote of that Summer “LEGS FEED THE WOLF”

This is a sneak preview of what’s to come. I am inspired by classic clothes mixed with a vintage edge. The double breasted blazer is part of a suit, the bow tie represents detail, and believe me it’s not easy to tie. The sweater is a classic button up, and the scarf is made by Gucci. The blazer and the bow tie are made by Ralph Lauren. The jeans I picked up at garage sales. FYI I always wear my jeans two sizes too big.

The Recipe for the Panzanella Salad with Avocado
(feeds 4)

Ingredients
1 Avocado diced
1 1/2 Cups Organic Cherry Tomatoes Halved
3/4 of a Cup chopped pitted green olives
1/2 Cup of Scallions, sliced thin
1 Cup of seedless organic cucumber, sliced thick
1 Cup of home made croutons
1/2 cup of Organic Sheep’s Milk Feta, crumbled ( I personally add a bit more)
Dress with cold pressed Olive Oil and Aged balsamic Vinegar

Quick and easy and good for the waistline!

Tune in tomorrow for more!
Don’t forget to play my song of the day.
