A Shower of Gold By Gretchen Albrecht, 2011
Gretchen Albrecht stands in front of her work 'In a shower of gold'. Albrecht emerged in the 1970s with abstract works of acrylic paint which produced a flowing, translucent effect. Her work was reminiscent of New York abstract expressionist Helen Frankenthaler. In the 1980s Albrecht ...

If you've spent time in Italy, chances are you've sampled this lemon flavored rice cake. It's one of my favorite desserts and I think you might enjoy it, too. It's simple to prepare and chances are you already have the ingredients needed to prepare it. I like to serve the cake warm, but it can be wrapped and refrigerated for a day. I think the cake becomes heavy if it is allowed to sit. Mine is a minority opinion. The recipe is adapted from one developed by Patricia Wells. I serve it with a simple, warm blueberry sauce that is very easy to prepare. If blueberries aren't your favorite fruit, substitute something that is more to your liking. The cake has been dressed up for its photograph. I normally serve it in a shallow bowl surrounded by fruit. This dessert does not stand on ceremony; it's true peasant fare. Lemon-Rice Cake Ingredients: 1 cup Arborio rice 1 quart whole milk (no substitutes) 1/8 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided use 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Grated zest of 1 large lemon 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Confectioners' sugar, for garnish Directions: 1) Combine rice, milk, salt and 1/2 cup sugar in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to keep rice from sticking and milk from boiling over. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and milk is nearly all absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Watch carefully as rice can stick and burn. Remove from heat and cool for at least 1 hour. 2) Adjust a rack to center of oven. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan with nonstick baking spray. Set aside. 3) Combine eggs and reserved 1/4 cup sugar in bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until thick and lemon colored. Add vanilla, zest and lemon juice; mix thoroughly. Stir in rice mixture. Scrape into prepared pan, smoothing top. 4) Bake until rice cake is a deep golden color and center is firm to touch, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on baking rack. Cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve. 5) Remove sides of springform pan, leaving cake on base of pan. Sprinkle top with confectioners' sugar. Cut and serve with fruit sauce if desired. Yield 8 to 12 servings. Warm Blueberry Sauce Ingredients: 1 pound blueberries, washed and stemmed if necessary 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons water Directions: 1) Combine blueberries, sugar and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl. Let sit for 30 minutes. 2) Transfer berry mixture to a 2-quart saucepan. Add water; bring to a simmer over low heat until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 5 minutes. Serve warm. Yield: 2 cups.
My interest in wellness started with a curiosity—questions about the food we eat, products we put on our skin, fitness fads, and how our physical, mental, and emotional health are all interconnected. I believe that wellness is deeply individual, but it can (and should!) also be enjoyable. My intrigue has led me to try countless workouts, supplements, and beauty products, and while the trends will come and go, I’ve come across a few tried-and-true favorites that I won’t be giving up anytime soon. Here, my 16 wellness buys worth the hype this summer.
