CELEBRATE
EVERY DAY! The Earth Calendar is
a daybook of holidays
and celebrations around the world.
In
Spring...
We
breathe in fresh warm breezes that excite us to call our friends and
throw burgers on the grill. We browse the garden centers, full of
excitement over the newly forced bulbs and the bright garden seeds. In
our heads, we imagine where the basil should be, what tomatoes to
cultivate and if the bean vines will look great behind the
zinnias. Our energy is renewed, and somehow we know, that we can
wake up, grab our coffee, smell the fresh air and solve the problems of
the world.
The
PlanetDINING LOUNGE is your place to share your deepest food fantasies-

cherished recipes and give a little advice to perhaps, those whose

need a simple spring brunch for my girlfriends and
I...any ideas? -regards from
Spring Girl
Dear
Spring Girl,
How
about some fresh fruits done up on wooden kabob
skewers, some champagne, and crab cakes like the one
showcased here this month? Grab some spring
tulips for the table, and for each place setting,
place a bright napkin with a ribbon tied around a seed
packet. Wow, your friends will be
impressed!
