@SydneyBristow, you'll love the Zuni Chicken! Best chicken ever, completely worth the mess it makes in the oven. :-)

French press, definitely. The taste is so much better than brewed, and it's cheaper! I use fewer beans per cup than when I was making brewed coffee. It just takes less to get the best flavor.
I'm at the beginning of a mini kitchen remodel (just waiting for the electrician to finish his work, then we start ripping stuff out), and I've been inspired by at least three of these kitchens--we...
@funstraw, she addressed the cabinets you're talking about--they're NOT functional. They have no shelves and are open to the floor. Just to repeat what she already said.
Great kitchen,...
I'm making creamed tuna on toast in memory of my grandma, who passed away this week. She always made it for me when I would sleep over at her house, and I haven't had it since.
Clams with chorizo and tomatoes tonight, probably felafel tomorrow night. Three day weekend, woohoo! Going to make pizza dough and flatbread dough, too.
I might give it a try--I have two Moleskine sketchbooks filled with recipes and notes, but it might be nice to have a little more structure--it's hard to find my recipes in the sketchbooks.
The TJs organic cane sugar in a bag works just fine for me, though I don't do a lot of baking! I used it for all the caramels I made over the holidays and they were delicious.

Thanks for the tip, Faith! After I painted my kitchen cupboards, one of the hinges ended up breaking and I've been wondering how in the heck I was going to fix it. What an easy solution.
Thank you so much for the glass tile link! We're putting in a new countertop and backsplash soon, and I was wondering about glass tile sources. Beautiful kitchen, thanks for sharing.
I've started buying the Sophie Conran collection through amazon.com. I've got some lovely oval serving platters and the cake stand. They're great quality and they look so pretty on the table.

Yep, I would add sherry vinegar too. Best value for the taste. And black vinegar, if you could a lot of Chinese-inspired dishes.
How to tile a backsplash! It's the next project in our kitchen, after we put the countertops in.

I've been making a roasted fennel and taleggio pizza, and another with roasted mushrooms, tomato sauce, and parmigiano.
Er, it's "accoutrements," sorry to be that person. :-) I love the idea of adding curry paste to the burger for a punch of flavor.

I'll be having crab too. I'm also making some granola and Meyer lemon marmalade.
