Do you GOOP yet?

Gwyneth Paltrow has launched a site called GOOP where she dispenses life lessons. It promises to deliver a "collection of experiences which make life good."
The categories include shopping, recipes, travel destinations and most intriguingly, thoughts from Paltrow's "sages." The goal is to share life lessons and tips for living...think Martha Stewart is ready for an aggressive take over?

I was truly a skeptic at first but now I've caught the bug! The latest "BE - nourishes the inner aspect" with sage advice from the likes of Deepak Chopra, Michael Berg of the Kabbalah Centre, Episcopal priest Cynthia Bourgeault, Sufi Shaikh Kabir Helminski, and New York psychologist Karen Binder-Brynes.. Kind of interesting, they answered each answered the same question refering to people's pessimism and how it effects life.

The latest "Make" fetured these recipies:

BUCKWHEAT AND BANANA PANCAKES

ASIAN TUNA SANDWICHES
WITH SOY AND SESAME MAYONNAISE

CARAMELIZED BLACK PEPPER CHICKEN

2/3 cup dark brown sugar (unrefined) 1/3 cup fish sauce 1/3 cup rice vinegar 1/2 cup water 2 teaspoons finely grated garlic 2 teaspoons finely grated ginger 2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper

1 or 2 fresh Thai chilis (to your taste!), halved 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 shallots, thinly sliced 2 pounds organic boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces (1/2”) 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, fish sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, ginger, pepper and chili and reserve.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and cook the shallots until softened and a bit brown, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and stir-fry, browning it all over, about a minute. Add the sugar mixture and simmer over high heat until the chicken is totally cooked through, about 6 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and serve.
