you omitted the ubiquitous austin fence with heavy gauge wire mesh on fence framing. oh, and the steel livestock trough-cum-planter. both so austin, and such brilliant uses of feed store materials. Fun Modern Outdoor Inspiration, Austin-Style |

i found my molinillo at strack and van til, a large grocery in chicago that carries a large selection of cookware from mexico. i'm sure they can be found at any mexican market. A Tool for Extra-Frothy Hot Chocolate: The Molinillo |

i am a devotee of mexican hot chocolate, and i recently purchased a molinillo. unfortunately my 1-cup-at-a-time preparation is too shallow to make effective use of it. sad! A Tool for Extra-Frothy Hot Chocolate: The Molinillo |

@AudreyinPDX: there should be thin metal "ties" that hold the central support beam to the side rails on the bed. they are an enormous pain in the arse to tighten, but if you can tighten them while "squeezing" the sides in toward the central rail, then you'll be fine. it's not the slats, it's that the bed is just a smidge to wide and the slats fall through. try that before you buy new slats.

while vacationing in san francisco, 10 years ago, i was spending day trolling the museums while my host worked. i stopped in a bodega on the walk home to get a drink. the lovely woman in front of me (who, she later told me, was a housekeeper in the neighborhood) was short on her grocery tab. i gladly covered her tab and she reciprocated by driving me home. we had a nice chat, and i still recall her fondly. i hope she thinks of me kindly too.

i love ibarra, a brand of chocolate from mexico. it's spicy and cinnamony and not too sweet. but last night, visiting my international grocery, i found them to be out of ibarra. so i bought a block of luker bitter chocolate. it was delicious, but different from ibarra in that it is just straight bitter melting chocolate.
