This Week's Favourite Things! Monday January 2nd - Sunday January 8th, 2017

1.  Raw vegan green smoothies, eg avocado, celery, cucumber, lemon, spinach, ginger, pineapple and a spoon of chia and hemp seeds is nice.   Here is a very comprehensive, thoughtful list with links to all sorts of recipes that sound good: 70 Detox Smoothies for Cleansing and Weight Loss

2.   Ella Fitzgerald with the Chick Webb Orchestra, especially this song: T'aint what you do it's the way that you do it.  (link to recording on youtube).

3.  Electric Spoonful.  wow what a great band, and good to see The Seahorse Tavern's new location/venue in the basement of The Marquee is as great as the old one despite moving from their iconic Argyle Street spot. 

4.   This wiki page about Italy - Poland relations

5. This article about the rags to riches story of Luigi Aquilini, an understated Italian immigrant turned Canadian I hadn't heard of before despite the fact that he grew an empire from nothing to billions.  He looks very young for someone in his 80's! Bet it has something to do with all the cranberry and blueberry farms he's invested in!

6.   This Buzzbuzz News Design article:  The number of sustainable features in this mixed-use development will blow your mind.  Apparently this impressive structure will actually be built in India.

7.  A nice quote from A Course in Miracles: "To have, give all to all."
