Winter Fresh Vegetable Soup
Stumbled upon this vegetable soup when I was trying to figure out what to do with Cabbage. I Love it so much I made it twice alreay within a week.
Here is the recipe. I made my own fresh vegetable broth and added one Star Anise and a couple of bay leaves in the beginning. But you can modify it to your liking as you please....
Country-French Vegetable Soup
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cups chopped green cabbage
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup (1/2-inch-thick) sliced carrot
1 cup sliced celery
1 cup diced red potato
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 cup water
4 cups Fresh Vegetable Broth or 2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans vegetable broth
1 cup drained canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Add cabbage and next 5 ingredients (cabbage through caraway seeds); sauté 2 minutes. Add water and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 30 minutes. Add chickpeas, parsley, dill, and pepper; cook until thoroughly heated.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 3/4 cups)

Easy Smokey Eye, I'd love to try....
For all the return you get I can't belive how easy a smokey eye is...
All you need is a brown eyeshadow, Black eye liner and good mascara.
Sweep the eyeshadow all over your eye lids, line your eyes, top bottom and waterline with the black liner, Smudge it to your hearts content and sweep on loads of mascara. If you want to add a little more punch brush on some highlither in the inner corner of you eye and on your brow bone.
Go easy on the rest of the face for what its worth.

Here is a pic of the look, but its a bit too dramatic for me... you can lighten up on the eyeliner for day.
Get ready to bat those eyes and have fun!!!!!
