Recipe video above. A traditional recipe for an iconic Greek dish from a wonderful cookbook called The Food And Cooking Of Greece by Sara Nassopoulos. Layers of soft eggplant, rich beef or lamb filling lightly spiced with oregano and cinnamon, topped with a thick layer of bechamel sauce. It looks like a lot of steps but the recipe has a nice flow to it - I've popped prompts in the steps. 🙂

Seersucker goes solid—because we’ve ditched the usual stripes. Instead of that traditional style, these cooling shirts feature regular triple-stripe sets that are heavily disguised by the tone-on-tone design. It’s effectively a one-color shirt, available in four lively options and featuring the signature puckered look and breathability of seersucker. And it’s yarn-dyed, meaning that it will retain its color better than fabric piece-dyed competitors. A must-have for spring heat and summer. Classic fit. 100% cotton. Machine wash. Imported. A Note About Fit: A few of our customers have commented that this style is running a bit too large. Please note that we have cut this style a little larger than normal to allow for added shrinkage that might occur. In addition, if you find the camp collar fit not quite right when first trying the shirt on, we suggest that you give the collar a quick, light press. This should help improve the appearance prior to washing and wearing!
We are still seeing exceptional interest in neo-vintage complicated watches with leather straps, so could it get any better than this grand complication from the esteemed watchmaker Patek Philippe? This is a beautiful example of one of the most underrated references, the 5040 in yellow gold, featuring a cool and quirky tonneau case and a stunning Breguet numeral dial. Given that the vast majority of these perpetual calendars are housed in classic round cases, Patek broke with tradition when it introduced the 5040 in 1992. Inspired by watches from the interwar period, the 5040 was the first Patek Philippe perpetual calendar to feature a tonneau-shaped case, measuring 35 mm side to side (and 42 mm lug to lug). We absolutely love them! While most would opt for the more traditional round case, this shape sits amazingly well on the wrist. The profile and lugs work proportionately well, adding a more youthful and sporty touch to this classic watch. This specific piece is an early example from 1992 and features what Patek themselves call an “Argenté” dial with Breguet numerals and a calendar in Italian (which makes a lot of sense, as the watch was originally sold in Milan). We appreciate the tone and quality of this dial, and the case is in pristine condition, with the gold hallmarks on the side of the case fully visible. The watch currently has a display caseback fitted, providing a full view of the cal. 240q movement with its 21k gold rotor, but the original 18k yellow gold caseback is also included. Each sub-dial provides two sets of information: the right-hand sub-dial shows the leap year indicator and the day of the week; the 6 o’clock sub-dial shows the moon phase and the day of the month; finally, the left-hand sub-dial shows the 24-hour clock and the month. The sub-dials are arranged within concentric circles in a hierarchy, with the day, month, and date on the outer track, and the less important leap year indicator, moon phase, and 24-hour clock inside it. The watch comes with a slightly used Patek Philippe leather strap, which is included in the sale, but we decided to fit one of our own straps as we believe it makes a great match. It is fitted with an 18k yellow gold PP pin buckle. As mentioned, the watch was originally sold in Milan in 1992, as stated on the original certificate of origin. Furthermore, the watch comes with its original inner and outer box—the leather inner box even doubles as a battery-driven watch winder! This beauty also comes with its leather paper holder, the second 18k yellow gold caseback, two booklets, and the yellow gold corrector pin, so it’s a full kit! While the 3940 is certainly underrated, the 5040 is arguably even more so, making it a great value proposition for those looking to enter the Patek Philippe Grand Complication club. It is a fantastically elegant piece that hugs your wrist and is one of Patek’s all-time classics. Get in touch!

Mwila people are an ethnic group living in southern Angola, in the area of Huila. They actually are part of the Nyaneka, a larger ethnic group. According to their oral tradition, they settled down in that area during the 17th century, because of a drought that made them abandon their lands in the country of Quilengues. In fact it seems Mwila are supposed to be a miscegenation of Jaga invaders, coming from east (and who transitorily invaded Congo) and conquered the area, with the aboriginal inhabitants of the area, the Chimbemba (or Bachimba). The conquerors formed the powerful kingdom of Huila during the 17th century, led by a Soba, which ruled the area until the first half of the 19th century. Mwila were part of this chiefdom and most of the traditions of these bantu cattle farmers date back to these times, although it is not clear for them nowadays. Mumuhuila rarely eat meat, they rather eat porridge, corn, chicken, honey and milk. They kill their cattle only on special occasions. Mwila are not allowed to mention people’s name in public. But Mumuhuila women are especially famous for their very special hairstyles. Indeed hairstyles are very important and meaningful in Mwila culture. Women coat their hair with a red paste called, oncula, which is made of crushed red stone. They also put a mix of oil, crushed tree bark, dried cow dung and herbs on their hair. Besides they decorate their hair with beads, cauri shells (real or plastic ones) and even dried food. Having their forehead shaved is considered as a sign of beauty. The plaits, which look like dreadlocks, are called nontombi and have a precise meaning. Women or girls usually have four or six nontombi, but when they only have three it means that someone died in their family. Mumuhuila Women are also famous for their mud necklaces, which are important as for each period of their life corresponds a specific type of necklace. When they are young, girls wear heavy red necklaces, made with beads covered with a mix of soil and latex. Later girls start to wear a set of yellow necklaces called, Vikeka, made of wicker covered with earth. They keep it until their wedding, which can last 4 years. Once married they start to wear a set of stacked up bead necklaces, called Vilanda. Women never take their necklace off and have to sleep with it. They also use headrests to protect their hairstyles. However, more and more men and women dress in a western way, because people use to make fun of them when they go to markets. Living conditions are tough as women sometimes walk for 50 kilometers to reach Huila market to sell goods. © Eric Lafforgue www.ericlafforgue.com
