I am not a videographer but I am able to make amateur videos by putting together the footages I take in an event.  I wish I knew how to do them professionally because videos can capture so many things a photo cannot!  It’s so nice to look back at videos!  Here is a simple one I made from the wedding of Din and Mar!  Congratulations and Best Wishes!!  We love you!

John Hardy Father’s Day 2016

By | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

 Find that perfect Father’s Day gift at John Hardy. Just in time for Summer, highlights of our new Classic Chain collection include luminous silver bracelets and magnificent marine blues.

Nautically inspired, the collection features anchor rode chain link bracelet – versatile enough for any occasion and always in style. Just as effortless is the slim silver cuff, its clean lines offering a sleeker look for the more fashion-forward father.

Often associated with wisdom and serenity, blue is taken to the next level and emphasized throughout the collection in leather bands, enamel clasps and hand-carved precious stones. For something exceptional, the Lapis Lazuli beaded bracelet makes a truly memorable gift. The symbolism of the stone, power and honor, and the deep celestial blue add a meaningful pop of color he will wear all year long.

 Mimolette 24 mois boule (aged 24 months)

? (wiki) Mimolette is a cheese traditionally produced around the city of Lille, France. In France, it is also known as Boule de Lille after its city of origin, or vieux Hollande for being made after the tradition of Edam cheese. The
It was originally made by the request of Louis XIV, who – in the context of Jean-Baptiste Colbert’s mercantilistic policies – was looking for a native French product to replace the then very popular Edam. To make it distinct from Edam he seasoned it with annatto to give it a sweet and nutty flavor and a distinct orange color.

It normally weighs about 2 kg (approximately 4.5 pounds) and is made from cow’s milk. Its name comes from the French word molle, meaning “soft”. This refers to the softness of the crust when young – with age it becomes harder. It has a grey crust and orangish flesh. The orange color comes from the natural seasoning, annatto, which has a sweet and nutty flavor. The cheese has a similar appearance to a cantaloupe melon.

The greyish crust of aged Mimolette is the result of cheese mites intentionally introduced to add flavor by their action on the surface of the cheese.

Mimolette can be consumed at different stages of aging. When younger, its taste resembles that of Parmesan. Many appreciate it most when “extra-old” (extra-vieille). At that point, it can become rather hard to chew, and the flesh takes a hazelnut-like flavour.
