Well, I just bought genmaicha tea from a Japanese grower, as well as several Mariage Frêres teas from their website -- there is a lot of amazing tea out there that deserves to be mentioned. ...

Love it! We visited Modena this spring, and had a wonderful times (and wonderful meals) there! (the one thing that I don't like are the floors, which are laminate, and do ...

As for me, there is so much, I don't know where to start... - the really cool Dylan Freith wooden vehicles from Habitat -- the TucTuc, Ice Cream Truck, London Cab, the Tito...

My husband started squirreling away all the Calendula Cream from California Baby when the kids were still in diapers... (the Diaper Care cream sufficed for them).

I should add, that when we gasped at what had been done to a Togo, we were all lounging around on our solid red togo set. I've loved Togo since I was 8 years old; I've loved it in a hu...

There was a simultaneous gasp in our house -- my husband, 6year-old daughter and myself -- as the picture of the pixelated Togo came on. Uhn, uhn. Doesn't work for us.

OH what a great play kitchen! Where did you get it??

Ségolène Royal was living with a guy who surfed porn, or rented out her apartment to someone who did? And it wasn't François Hollande?

I love it! As a tenant, I lived in some grey homes (architect-designed or renovated!), and didn't like the grey. But love the white -- it is very versatile.

Eeewwww... (to both, but especially Russell Brand)

Oh Henry...! (have always had a thing for Great Danes) Lovely warm home.

Does anyone supply heritage or rare breed varieties of turkey for mail order? (for Canadians?)

Only one thing I find strange though -- putting milk (and sugar) in a herbal tea... If I put anything in it, it is honey, but usually drink it straight. Have I been missing something...

I am a tea snob, and I love Celestial Seasonings! I may order matcha and genmaicha direct from a Japanese organic tea grower, Marco Polo from Mariage Frères, and another blend...

So I won't feel that sorry that his (Tyler Hays)wife just lost her job last month... (she was the editor of Cookie)

I like making buttermilk pie -- gets rave reviews. I use Martha Stewart's recipe, the one in her pie book, not the one on her website.

I would add Iittala of Finland's award-winning 24 Hr dinnerware, which IKEA has shamelessly ripped off as their 365 day pattern (the earlier version, before they had square plates).

I had the same experience as Miro (albeit a different communist country). I'm sad that there is no longer Sesame Street in Canada -- you need cable or satellite to watch it on PBS, and...

Oh! Thank you for this post! I LOVE this place, and was thinking about it all weekend, wishing I could shop there. I always send friends there when they visit SF. They do beautiful,...

Intriguing...
