Yup - source for the chairs please!

I have been looking for string lights with a white wire instead of green - proving to be quite tricky...

We have just renovated our kitchen using white cabinets, wood countertops, subway tiles and open shelving - so yay :)

My friends Geek mother used to make this for us when we were teenagers. So good. She used fresh chicken stock and would serve it with lots of ground, black pepper and cinnamon on top!

I worked at a preschool in Australia that served a cooked lunch everyday. Good for you for doing this for the kiddos - so important. Some of the meals the kids loved were a baked frittata with cheese and peas, served with cold baked beans. Butternut squash soup pureed with carrot and served with sandwiches. Turkey meatloaf with cold carrots, cucumber etc and a dip. The cook would serve the kids a chicken 'curry' or a 'chilli' with a couple of spices like cumin or paprika but no actual spiciness - both with rice. There was always yogurt or tapioca for desert with fresh or tinned fruit. And wholemeal bread and butter with every meal. These meals would come around every couple of weeks. Good luck.

Taupe walls. Longer, thinner, white coffee table. White framed pictures on both walls behind sofa. White arc floor lamp to the left. Bring in cushions with blues and greens to match your rug and counter tops. If that all looks too matchy then maybe throw in another accent color with a couple of cushions and 1 or 2 pictures/objects on walls... bright purple?

Sorry - Santa Monica and Toluca Lake! Damn you auto correct.

Home made chicken stock poured over rice noodles, spinach, shredded chicken, green onions, coriander and chilli pepper. Topped off with a squeeze of lime. Eaten at home with my toddler who kept eating my noodles.
