I remember my parents taking us to a party at their friends house and the house had a basement and attic and stairs! I loved the basement because all the kids hung out there away from prying parents' eyes. It was dark and cool and a little scary and we had the best game of hide and seek ever! I was so glad my brother found me.

Oh, and for nuts, nuts.com

I bought myself an infrared thermometer and it does all four of the above.

JD on the rocks.

OK. Now I'm lusting after marble kitchen countertops! Marble seems to have a lot of personality much like my hardwood floors.

I've read in the blogosphere about quality problems in KA mixers that make me think twice about buying one.

I'm with quercus, it depends on the rice. Short grain or long grain? Brown rice or white rice? Risotto or paella? Rice pudding or fried rice? Asian rice or Persian rice? There's no one way.

Always, mis en place!

These are great suggestions! I might cook a large brisket this weekend so I can have leftovers!

I like to taste wine so I'm a slow drinker. Which is a good thing. I can take all night to nurse one glass of wine and still not finish. Midway through an event everyone eske is lit up and talking away but that means I can keep my wits about me and I come across as a good listener. I'm not much of a schmoozer or socializer so not drinking much gives me an advantage and I enjoy parties more.
