The freezing Northeast hasn?t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance

came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say

“sunshine”. I left for

the land of warmth and vitamin C

, thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down

to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and

pink

filled

the

weekend,

but

the

best

part-

particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables---was a 7 a.m. adventure to the

Sarasota farmers? market that proved to be more than worth the early

wake-up call.

The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m,

for

years.

No

matter

how

attractive

they

look

in

the

store,

once

I

get

them

home

they?re

unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown?s

Grove Farm?s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal

- and at that

moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in

New York I wouldn?t be experiencing again for months.

Delighted

as

I

was

by

the

tomatoes

in

my

happiness

deepened

when

I

learned

that

Brown?s

Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton,

where---luckily for me---I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I

knew I?d be ordering every tomato on it.

Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in

Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition

bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks

on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly

The Persistence of Memory.

There is

also

L’Enigme sans Fin

from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected

parts from television programmes reflecting the artist?s showman qualities.

The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of

birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.

exhibition
