What about buying a sheet of thin metal (like this: http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-202091748/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053) and bending it to the triangle shape, the way you fold paper into a fan. Then you can hot/gorilla glue magnets into each triangular fold. The only challenging part would be then mounting it to something that can be mounted on the wall. You could probably just nail it into a wooden board though. The shiny metal against a dark stained wood would look great! Maybe I'll try too! Great idea!

Fig Manhattans were a special for awhile at a restaurant I worked at and oh man. So. Good.

It would involve more work than this (boiling dried figs to get them nice and plump, then soaking them in a bottle of Jim for a week so it takes on the fig flavor), but it would be a great way to turn a cheaper liquor into a fancy cocktail for a holiday party.

I made beans for the first time last week in my new Le Creuset (love!) and they were ah-mazing.

The main thing I haven't bought since making it myself? Pizza! Make your own dough in the morning and grill it that night. So good. So easy.
