@tashar, obviously their hobby is NYC, and being out there doing something NYCy, not sitting around at home! ;)

I hope their dry-cleaners charge them extra for using them as storage (unless they don't have a lot of clothes and pick up all their orders within a week or so, not leaving them there for months an...

Maybe they are those butler things for draping clothes over?

The shoe rack? Cool. The hanging-the-book-over-a-rung bedside table? Bleah, poor book.

I was all excited by the photo because I thought it was dried squid/cuttlefish jerky, you know, alas.

I always wondered if the apple vinegar I found overseas (more specifically vinagre de manzana, I guess) was the same without "cider/sidra" in the title. Is there such a thing as non-cider apple vi...

I'm 5'4" and not with long legs, and I love me some deep couches! I hope to have one at home someday. I hate when I'm over at someone's house, and I feel like I can't really rest on the sofa, ins...

The polar bear comment made me scroll back up in case I missed something like an actual polar bear skin or something, but um, hello, it's a painting? I like it. It's amusing to have this (painted...

Most of the tea I get at East Asian restaurants that I go to with my parents get served in handle-less mugs, and I'm always annoyed at how long it takes before I can take a sip without burning my h...

Tapping jar lids on countertops hasn't worked well for the really stuck lids, at least for me and I guess my lack of upper body strength. But what really works for me is basically slamming the lid...

@bingsy, Korean acorn "jello" or I just call it "mook." It's very good, and I guess the Koreans have le...

What's missing from this shot is the swinging trapeze overhead, you know, this is just the safety net. Okay, maybe that was just in my mind. It's crazy and unsettling, but yeah, it's cool, too. ...

The typical stuff plus one or more types of kimchi, rice and maybe some japchae, mook, or pajun. Not for their specialness, but more to have some of the familiar along with the Western stuff at ta...

Yeah, I pretty much skip/ignore most magazines about home and food around the major holidays: Thanksgiving, Xmas, even Halloween and the 4th of July to some degree (oh and Valentine's). Same old s...

This is the first entry (for this year's color contest) that compels me to comment! Thank you for not being all minimalisty-MCM-DWR or even Pottery Barny. It feels like you have the r...

No thanks. I'm just not that holiday-y.

Coming back to Madrid after a visit to CA, I bring the in-laws peanut brittle from See's Candies, because they don't really have that here (there's gurlache, but it's just not the same). I also br...

My parents have a tree, and we all love them, too. Fresh is nice, but I do really love them dried, like a sweet, chewy candy. The dried ones also go into chicken soups and certain sticky rice dis...

I love these, too! Never knew what to call them in English.

omg, I want one. I'm a native English speaker living in a non-English speaking country (Spain) and have relatives in one of the other language countries (wow that sentence sucks). And yeah, most ...
