Ill tell you whats up.Im knee deep in springcleaning!

I love spring, but that cruel spring

sunlight is merciless. So I have flled my

buckets with hot soapy water and I m

washing windows and walls and wonder-

ing how those red spots on the ceiling got

there. Looks like tomato sauce

I dont mind cleaning; its not my avor-

ite thing to do, but I eel so amazing ater

Im done. I learned a great cleaning trick

rom my grandmother: play really loud

music and drink sherry. I tell you it works,

it really does. Play music you really love.She played old-time jazz and I play show

tunes. Time goes by aster when you

clean, sing along, and sip sherry. Ater a

while it even eels un.

I did get some strange looks rom a

neighbor once while hanging out the win-

dow with soapy water and a rag, singing

Tomorrow rom Annie.

When nighttime comes, the house is

clean, I have no voice let, and Im a bit

tipsy. And my neighbors go to bed say-

ing: Thank God its a year until his nextspring cleaning.

When your dog wants something sweet, fruit

and yogurt is the best thing to give them. We

are not talking about a whole fruit, of course,

but a few slices in a bowl.

Fruits are full of vitamins and minerals

and are even said to calm the digestive

system. My dog Lestat just loves fruit. His

favorite is papaya.

Great dog-friendly fruits

and berries are:apple

melon

papaya

avocado

banana

blueberry

kiwi

FOOD+STYLING by Paul Lowe | PHOTOGRAPHY by Colin Cooke

Time for dessert! Yes, yourdog likes dessert as well

A few tablespoons of plain

Greek yogurt is also really

good for dogs. It settles the

stomach and gives them

all that good bacteria that

they need. So put some

pieces of fruit in a bowl and

add some yogurt. Your dog

will love it!

paint on inside and outside o each basket. 2. Once dry, create

hanging loop on back o each basket with wire. 3. Choose round

mirrors that match inside, bottom diameter o each basket and

secure into place with epoxy or heavy-duty glue. 4. Let baskets

dry completely or 24 hours and then hang as desired.

Denim Woven Basket

You will need:

metal waste basket (with large holes)

old pair o jeans

scissors or rotary cutterruler

abric glue (I used Fabri-Tac)

1. Cut multiple -inch-thick strips o denim rom old jeans, long

enough to t around largest diameter o basket. 2. Wrap top

and bottom edges o basket with denim strips until covered.

3. Weave individual strips o denim around basket horizontally,

moving up a row at a time until completely covered. To create a

2-toned efect, turn denim strip over to reveal lighter (or darker)

side o abric. 4. At the end o each row, secure denim to itsel

edge o the bottom basket at each corner. 4. Bend end o rope

back on itsel about 2 inches to create loop, and tie and lash into

place with twine. 5. To prevent raying o cut ends and knots o

rope and twine, dab with heavy-duty glue. 6. Thread opposite

end o each piece o rope through top edge o top basket at

each corner, create loop as beore and secure with more tying

and lashing o jute twine. 7. To create hanging apparatus, cut 4

more pieces o rope to desired length, thread through top edge

My grandmother called smoked salmon s m o k e d g o l d . And after

touring the Acme Smokehouse I must say I agree with her

The Acme Smoked Fish Corporation started in the early 1900s

when Russian emigrant Harry Brownstein arrived in New

York. He worked his way up rom the role o a wagon jobber,

picking up resh, hot fsh rom the smokehouses with his horse

drawn wagon and delivering them to stores all over New York.

Eventually he owned his own smokehouse in Brooklyn, and ater

almost 120 years, the smokehouse that came rom Harrys hard

labor is at the same address.

Touring Acme was a smoked-sh lovers dream. The sh is so

reshwe are talking only the bestrom wild salmon to chubs

caught in American lakes. Ater being cleaned and lleted, the

sh is cured or dry rubbed. This process can take up to a week

or some varieties o sh.

Ater its cured, the sh is ready to be smoked. Acme uses

both cold smoke and hot smoke. Salmon is always cold smoked,

and its done over wood chips at temperatures around 72F.

Hot-smoked sh is baked until 145F. The result o both kinds o

smoking is moist, aky, and smoky.

From the smoker, the sh is instantly chilled, packaged, and

shipped of to all parts o the US.

I you happen to be in Brooklyn on a Friday morning, you

must drop by their Fish Friday when the actory is open and

they sell all their amazing smoked sh.
