I really need to decide on a food processor. I had a Cuisinart Miniprep that died - which I used all the time. I need something bigger, but budgets being what they are I am having a hard time dec...

thanks kiddo katsu! i actually do tend to look for jars and such when i'm at target but i don't remember ever seeing anything but plastic food storage. i'll have to look again! :)

If you happen to be in a large-ish city there's probably a fancy pantsy teahouse. I've found that I've learned a lot by talking to the people at the tea shop (when they aren't too busy). In Seatt...

Here's a second on the small child situation. I can't not feed him. However, I can slide by with minimal effort for him and in a pinch the grownups get: -Pasta carbonara (this doesn'...

I love this post too. Very nice. I do have a question :) What are the jars in the tile picture originally from? Do you know? I have a hand-me-down jar like that and I know I've see...

Depending on what type of bulk you buy there are some fantastic resources online. There are a couple of great spice retailers that I've just found recently with FAR fresher and cheaper/simlarly pr...

I have a cupboard full of Rancho Gordo and I've only ordered them online. It's a flat rate for shipping, so you can join the party if you want. :)

Coffee, chocolate pancakes and strawberries in bed. Then a nap! MMMM.

Good that someone remembered the source! It would have driven me insane trying to remember... haha. I saw that too and I'm working on re-organizing. Nice job!

I'm a big fan of Rancho Gordo. My only beef with the book is that the indexing is less than robust. I've looked up specific beans and while they weren't in the index they were in recipes. I'd al...

dear god, move along, there's nothing to see here... beans are awful, gassy, tasteless things. i have no space for them in my kitchen. *whew* are there only two of you le...

truffle salt! hawaiian salt! omg. it's endless. sourdough. anything fresh. Can you tell I'm just having a moment?

mmm. any time. hot as possible straight out of the toaster with butter. with peanut butter and honey with cream cheese and honey OH and with v...

Or, in the timeliness of things, I just saw this: http://www.remodelista.com/2008/12/16/holiday-gift-spice-block/

It's also totally worth a look on eBay. Either for vintage salt cellars that look like the wall pocket style or a nice heath sugar bowl or similar idea. I really like the beehouse too.

Goodness. You're all so emo and unique in your articulate comments of disdain. Hmm, Now where's my kitty poster.... Hang in there. p.s. I'd like to know wha...

Oops, forgot the link. This one works pretty well on our oven: http://www.safety1st.com/product/detail.asp?ID=205 alth...

Erinorea, I highly recommend the childproofing latch that sticks on. Your dog won't be able to open it and it's probably prettier than duct tape :) - for what it's worth. Once you sta...

Everyone has great points and good info. My two cents is to remember that every kid is different (mine loved purees, and food is a lot about texture and temperature). You can find an...

I deeply heart all Denyse Schmidt stuff. Having said that, is there really any point to crib bedding? Given that the (currently in fashion) safety rules warn against much of anything ...
