Someone asked me today about our crest, and how we made it. Here’s the story: There is a monastery near the base of the north side of Mount Everest at 16,434 feet called Rongbuk. It’s a ramshackle place that appears like a mirage after a steep climb. I arrived at the end of the day, after a storm — wet and unbearably tired. Rongbuk is said to be the highest-elevation monastery in the world. We stopped there before continuing onward. Flickering candles lit the walls of the monastery while monks — draped in plum-colored robes — walked the space solemnly. On the wall of the monastery I saw a mural. It was faded, but the image was clear: an elephant with various animals standing on its back. I would see versions of that mural in other temples in Nepal and India. It is a metaphor for the world’s animals standing on each other’s back, everyone working together for Mother Nature and each other. I made a sketch of it, and later it would become the Flamingo Estate crest (but I added my dog Daylesford). If you look closely, you’ll even see a Dandelion — a reminder to keep moving, to change, to resist. But most of all, to find beauty, to seek pleasure, in the meantime. X Richard

It’s the start of Green Bean season! To celebrate, we’ve tucked a generous handful into every Friday Box delivery tomorrow—grown with care by our friends at Covilli Farms. It might just be the perfect moment to revisit our Green Beans in Balsamic Aspic recipe from last summer (created by the wonder from Down Under, @chrisyuille). The shimmering jelly layer is a balsamic vinegar aspic, and beneath it, a bright green mousse made from fresh peas and our Summer Olive Oil—both of which are available again for the season. This week’s box is brimming with Ruby Grapefruit, Red Bartlett Pears, Artichokes, French Breakfast Radish, a loaf of Jalapeño Gouda from the bakers at @outofthinair.la and more. And in the Fruit Box: Ataulfo Mangos, Cantaloupe, Cara Cara Oranges, Raspberries… among other treasures. It’s a Spring feast. I hope you enjoy it. X Richard

My mother loves a deal. In fact, she’s always worrying about money. Last week, when I put her photo on a billboard in Times Square, her first reaction wasn’t “Wow, I love this” — it was “Richard, how much did this cost?” So for every mother who loves a good deal (and the children who love them), we’re giving away a free Jasmine and Rose candle with every $150 spent this Mother’s Day. Now mom, THAT’S A MOThER DEAL! X Richard

Do you know what my mother really wants for Mother’s Day? An hour alone with Chuck Norris. He’s her #1 sexy crush. It sort of horrifies me when she talks about it, especially in public or with people we don’t know. My brother and I have often felt a little sick to our stomachs when she talks about her erotic visions of Walker, Texas Ranger. But still, everyone has their type, so this Mother’s Day I think I should just give her exactly what she wants: a hot flame personalized with her heartthrob’s quote. And I’m gonna throw in Clint and Kevin too. Sounds like a fun night. x Richard

When I started writing A Guide to Becoming Alive, I thought I was writing a book about Mother Nature. But the deeper I went — the more I listened, traveled, researched — the more I realized I was actually writing a book (mainly) about the things out mothers tell us. The result? 600 pages of conversation, filled with wisdom from woman and men I deeply admire, respect, and love. We have a special new release for Mothers Day: MOTHER COURAGE. MOTHER DETERMINATION. MOTHER HUMOR. MOTHER AUDACITY. MOTHER GRIT. MOTHER LOVE. x Richard

Harvey and I know a lot of hot mamas! So many of our best friends are either having babies or recently had them, and we’re so excited to have everyone around. Lately, we’ve been hosting a string of Sunday lunches, packed with kids, chaos, and mischief — a little tribute to all the incredible moms and dads in our lives. Those lunches have inspired many of our Mother’s Day gifts this year — everything you need to cook a great meal: Salsa macha, olive oil, citrus salt, balsamic vinegar, persimmon vinegar, and a strong coffee for the next morning. They say you don’t really know someone until you’ve shared a meal together, and I feel so lucky to know — and break bread with — so many wonderful people. Happy Mother’s Days x Richard
