My heart is so heavy with grief at the moment…there are no words.
Rest in peace, dear brother Michael.
I will always love you!

RIP Dear One

Look Who’s Back!

Well, sort of. It’s been a loooooong minute since I was last here. I know! I know! I was supposed to be away just for the summer. My sincerest apologies to all of my readers who have been wondering about me. I promise to make every effort to stay in touch more frequently should I have to be away again. Thank you to all who left comments and emailed me. I appreciate your kindness. A lot has gone on (including the massive hurricane, Ike) during my absence; one thing led to another, then another, and another, and before I knew it, it was March 2009 already. I still have quite a few things in the works at the moment, but I just wanted to pop in to let everyone know that I am alive and well. I’ve been busy with a few other projects (I’ll fill you in later on those), but I’ve been missing food blogging and have decided that it’s time to get crackin’ again.

Summer Hiatus

Golden Daisy Field

As many of my regular visitors have already realised by now, I have not posted here in weeks. I just popped in to let everyone know that I am still alive and well, just haven’t been cooking much lately. I’ve been a bit preoccupied with my off-line life and a couple of projects that have required the majority of my time and attention these days and I do not see things changing for several more weeks. That being the case, I’ve decided to extend my hiatus for the remainder of the summer. I’m not exactly sure when I will resume posting, but I’m guessing it will be some time around the end of September, perhaps the beginning of Oct. But fear not — I will be back. Mos def!

Thank you to all who have visited and supported me here on diva:flava. I look forward to posting again soon and catching up with many of you. Until then, have a great summer, everyone!

Mostly Martha - The Genuine Article

I am a huge lover of quality movies, with a special interest in foodie movies. Sadly, very few of the mainstream movies produced in the US attract my interest, let alone hold it, which is why my collection of foreign films is ever expanding. While I will not bash the US movie industry, I will say that many films made in other countries are, in my opinion, simply superior with regard to writing, acting and direction.

For those who are not aware, No Reservations, the chef/restaurant-themed romantic comedy (starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart) which opened in US theaters in late 2007 and released on DVD in Feb 2008, is actually a remake of the 2001 original German film, Bella Martha (translated Mostly Martha in English, starring Sergio Castellitto and Martina Gedeck). I will not attempt to provide a review of this movie (there are others who are far better at that than I am), I simply want to express myself (albeit a bit late) on this Mostly Martha versus No Reservations issue, which has been on my mind for some time now.

Welcome to diva:flava.style!

    Low carb recipes are the primary emphasis of this site. Deliciously healthy recipes made from fresh whole foods (organic is best), clean carbs, lean protein and good fats. Low glycemic index cooking that helps slim the waistline, tease the senses and delight the palate. Alas, I am an imperfect being who happens to stray on occasion, so I will post the odd "splurge" recipe from time to time.

    diva:flava.style is also my creative outlet for sharing my experiences of healthy living, beauty, fitness and all things delicious.
