Stoned wheat thins are my nostalgia factor standard, but these days I live on Raincoast Crisps. They are staples with our cheese platters and also just the best snacking cracker around. Unfortunate...
Check out the Fauchon display cabinet. Love that! I want one, now! What a fantastic apartment. How these people manage to make such small places seem so diverse and interesting is amazing!
We are staying in because I think its overcrowded and overpriced usually out. I just splurged on a black truffle that we'll be having with a simple pasta. Before that its oyster and some endive cit...
Whenever you cook beans or lentils, add a spoonful to saute onions, carrots or celery before adding the beans. It adds a beautiful richness to the beans. Think cassoulet, which is full of duck/goos...
