<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">On less controversial, and more <b>heart-warming</b> issues, Winter is an ideal time to cook some simple Asian dishes. An easy recipe to make is steamed radish cakes cut into snack-sized portions. Wonderful for afternoon tea on the weekends and healthy too. In the alternative, they can be pan-fried until golden for a crispy exterior and moist tenderly centre!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Perhaps divine intervention is necessary to save D&G from recent legal controversies. Embroiled in a fashionable disaster was one thing that is rarely associated with D&G. On 20 June 2013, Italian fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were found guilty by a Milan court for failing to declare €1bn in income. The pair face a suspended sentence of 1 year 8 months in jail and a hefty fine, but of course, their lawyers have already indicated they will be lodging an appeal. In any event, let the army of <b>immaculately dressed Italian men</b>, in perfectly tailored suits, march against D&G's taxing concerns.</span></div>
