I've never been a huge beets fan, but have recently been enjoying Brazilian black beans, beets & rice. For me, it helps to have them as a complement to a dish instead of the main attraction. ;)

I love this! Morocco could be harira with mint leaves as the star. :)

The cherry, grape and golden are all overflowing, but the the early girl (go figure) and roma are struggling still! I made Tomatoes Provencal, a great way to use up extra tomatoes! http://twitpic.com/gcmju

Looks good! My go-to salad this summer has been one with avocado, corn & tomato!

used coffee grounds worked great for slugs too.

I have a set of stemless Riedel, [which I love!] and I use them for all wines. I stick to <$20 wines anyway, so I figure a nice Riedel glass is good universal glass for someone like me. :)

love it! This matches my mustard yellow tea kettle!

Spanish tortilla -- kind of like a frittata with potatoes, onions and eggs -- is a really good (and filling) brunch option. I've been a vegetarian my entire life (I eat fish now though), so no-meat breakfasts is standard! Other ideas: fruits, cupcakes or muffins (easily made without dairy). Good luck!

I've used Photoworks.com (the Seattle company) for some large format wall prints and they turned out great. I was a little nervous after using snapfish previously for smaller prints (that didn't turn out that great). Just make sure you submit really high-quality images.

yep, jewelry is a big one for me too. I've never been too keen on knick-knacks, so usually I gravitate towards home goods, like pillow covers & material (some countries are easier than others... Turkey & Morocco are both brilliant for home goods!)
