Coralie Bickford-Smith's covers 

for the Penguin 'Great Food' series. 

Gorgeous.

waterworks

When I renovate, I'm installing one of these somewhere.

Maybe in the bathroom.

These cast-iron classically-inspired water fountains 

have an interesting history, connected to the Wallace Collection.

tuberoses

I'm not sure I want the taste of tuberose on my lips, 

but I did think this sounded like a wonderful, 

old-fashioned scent combination: 

tuberose, violet leaf & jasmine.

age

geriatric bypass:

1. The act of denying your actual age in order to give others the impression that you are younger. 

2. A medical procedure intended to provide persons of advanced years the appearance of being younger. 

For the last twenty years, Jack claimed to others that he's only 39 years of age, and for the last five, he's even used hair coloring. He acts as if he's had a geriatric bypass.
