Swine & Wine At Corkbar, Los Angeles

I am totally obsessed with bacon right now. Black Forest bacon, Applewood smoked bacon, you name it, I love it. Apparently, Im not the only one. Bacon is the culinary worlds current obsession, which Corkbar in Los Angeles is celebrating with its Swine & Wine event February 2nd. The menu, designed especially for pork lovers and wine enthusiasts, pairs bacon-centric dishes with hand selected wines. And, amazingly, its only $25 plus an additional $13 for the wine pairing. That is my kind of good deal right there.

The menu includes a host of amazing dishes, including a frise and bacon salad with roasted tomato, shallot, bacon lardons, and grain mustard vinaigrette; Bhn Mi sliders, made with cured pork belly, Hoisin glaze, Sambal aoli, micro cilantro, and pickled daikon and carrot, served on a brioche bun with a side of Sriracha sauce; and a bacon chocolate cupcake with caramel whipped cream and bacon lardons. Holy cow, er, pig!

Naveen: While most of the coffee tables are just meant to harmonize the mood and overall decor of your living room, there are a few that tend to changes the notion.

Gifting on Valentines Day seems to get tougher and tougher each year. Some days ago, we discovered the Key To My Heart by Steuben, but not everyone can shell out $3,500 on a V-Day gift. Luckily, this year round you can take a tip from the stars; not the ones in the sky, but Hollywood couples, in this case Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. Yes, the two actors have come up with a jewellery collection ahead of Valentines Day with handcuffs as their source of inspiration. Moore and Kutcher have collaborated with jeweller Jack Vartanian and designed a line of necklaces shaped like handcuffs. However, the aim was not to be kinky. On the contrary, the two actors are attempting to shift the limelight on to a major social problem, that of child sex slavery. The high-profile Hollywood couple run a non-profit organisation called the Demi and Ashton Foundation which deals with the problem of child sex slavery. Half the proceeds from their handcuff line of necklaces will be given to the organisatio...
