Set of silverware, take out napkins, violet mints, cranberry apple cherry cliff bar, 2 lemon Luna bars, Ginger-Lemon Yogi tea and some salt and pepper packets.
I've done this recipie and it is GREAT! The dough also keeps well in the fridge if you want to make half the pretzels and come back to the rest within a few days.
I would like to second those who mentioned Costco. I have a set of their nonstick Kirkland brand pots and pans and they're great. Between that and my cast iron skillet, I'm covered. I would sugg...
The florist at my local Whole Foods told me not to put daffodils in with other flowers, as they secrete some sort of substance that will make the other flowers wilt faster. Anyone know if that's t...
I am slowly going paperless in the kitchen. I did have to dedicate a kitchen towel to my cast iron skillet (I used paper towels to wipe it down with oil, and placed one under it to store in the ca...

I'd like to speak up for all of us living in DC (specifically those living on/near U Street) - I think the place is great, and very cozy. Laura, you've been very creative and I love your soothing ...
Can't remember where I saw them, but there are old fashioned water pans that fit over the top of your radiator (if you have one) and act as a humidifier- I have a couple and love them!
We have a toaster, toaster oven, coffeemaker, dishwasher, espresso maker and a full size fridge in our office in DC, all for about 10 people. It's nice, and we usually do a decent job of keeping i...
Just last night, I was at the local bodega getting some extra things for some unexpected dinner guests (my roommate and his girlfriend were home- first time I've seen him in weeks) My total was $1...
Sam's seasonals are pretty readily available here in DC- in the bottle and on draft. I also had no problem finding it in North Carolina over Thanksgiving.
I bought a zucchini the size of a linebacker's calf at the farmer's market earlier this fall. I split it in half and stuffed it- cheese, tomatoes, whatever. You can wrap in foil and bake or just ...
Dried Basil and Rosemary, definitely. After last night's Top Chef, I 'm thinking of investing in Vadouvan. Also, Herbs de Provence, Chinese 5 Spice and Ancho Chili Powder. I keep fresh Cuban Ore...

Frozen peas from TJ's, always. And Ling Ling chicken and veg potstickers from Whole Foods/Costco.

No meat. I'm going veg for Lent. Still eating (sustainable) seafood though.
Whole milk. That's what I cook with, and what I grew up drinking/using.

Hickory smoke salt from the farmers' market by my mom's house in North Carolina, blood oranges, and phyllo!

My grandparents, both of whom are from South Carolina, adore salmon croquettes for breakfast.
Best app ever at a party: pepper water crackers with a slice of aged cheddar, a tart green apple, and a dollop of fig preserves. Divine.
