Oh, and can I add how awesome it is to see how many people love podcasts? Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to downloading some new things.

And I forgot to mention, when I was at Milk Bar, a producer from Regis and Kelly was there, setting up a segment where Kelly learns how to make the Compost Cookie.

You can watch that segment here - first it's Kelly at Milk Bar, then she makes them on her own in the studio:

Bought the C&B Petrie in brown a few years ago and love it.

I did ask the salesperson about the cushions becoming flat over time, a complaint mentioned a few times here on AT, and she recommended rotating the cushions every week or so for even wear. Don't do it quite that often, but my sofa still looks great.

I picked up Seventh Generation's free and clear dishwashing soap because it was on sale awhile back and really like it.

I've read somewhere that the aparment complex in Chuck is the old Melrose Place set!

I never had a dustbot, but I did get spotbot, another member of the Tomy robot family, for Christmas one year. The little guy would zip along and when it bumped its nose into something it would stop, bark and turn around. I still have it, but doesn't work, so it's just a cute paperweight now. But I do remember there being a bigger butler robot as part of the series, and really, really wanting that...

The Ikea Senior pots *are* enameled on the inside -- just in black, so it looks like they aren't. The instructions that come with the pot explain how to season the enamel inside.

I've been very happy with my medium sized one, used it for the famous (infamous?) no-knead bread and it worked great.

Life everyone else, I'm so charmed by this book, and inspired by the fact that Julia couldn't cook until she was 36! There's still time, for everything ...
And who doesn't love the Camembert Madame, who could squeeze and sniff out the best cheese, so it would be ready for the time you were going to serve it? And like Julia, I'd love to see a cheese whisperer at work, and it made me wonder if I could find one in the local fancy cheese shops around here.
A lovely, lovely book - it reads just as if Julia is at your kitchen table telling you about all these adventures. C'est chouette!
