I live the neighborhood next door to Cherrywood (Windsor Park) and had to smile when I saw the bathroom. Our house has the exact same tile (and a turquoise tub to match). I wouldn't change it for anything!

Gochujang. Skip the "medium" and go straight to the "hot". This stuff is giving my beloved sambal oelek a run for its money in my kitchen.

I would have bought that piece for no other reason EXCEPT for the pulls- they're fabulous! What a beautiful makeover- totally jealous.

We went to Mexico City strictly for the street food and enchiladas at Cafe Tacuba.

More recently, while in Cambodia we took a 9 hour night bus ride (a rather surreal experience in itself) to Kep because it was famous for its seafood.

So very sad to hear about sweet Beethoven- my heart goes out to Donna.

I have this knife and love it! I have several really good knives in my collection, but the Santoku and my 10-inch Wusthof chef's are the only ones I ever use.

Last year I made a fairly straightforward sage stuffing from Epicurious and it was fantastic. I used homemade French bread and a brown turkey stock (also on Epicurious)- I think that these upgrades made it special. Perhaps something like this would still be traditional enough to appeal to the family but with enough extra flavor/texture to take the win!

I really like my spoon rest. I've used a saucer for the same purpose, but somehow it always looked like I missed a dirty dish that should have been placed in the dishwasher. Plus the spoon rest always "lives" by the stove so I'm never caught without anywhere to put my spoon.

I always have a jar of the chile garlic and a jar of sambal oelek in the fridge. We go through them like crazy! If my recipe already has a hefty amount of garlic then I use the sambal oelek. I love the bright, pure chile flavor in both products.

My traditional pastry brush shed it's bristles. It's very difficult to safely pluck a bristle out of a pan of bubbling caramel. And no amount of washing ever seemed to convince me that the bristles were not slightly rancid. I'll admit that silicone does not spread as well as the traditional brush, but for me it's a fair trade for convenience and cleanliness.
