The sandwich pictured above is our current fav - bacon, tomato, mozzerella, avacado, with a pesto mayo dressing. It's a handful but a treat!

I had a wagon the kids had outgrown and a spot out front where the dirt was too hard to grow anything, so i use the wagon as a planter!

I scored a dozen or so vintage linen kitchen towels at a thrift store. It looked as though the original owner had bought them as souveniers of places they'd visited and then used them - maybe in picture frames - as kitchen art. I'm a bit more prosaic, and actually use them as hand towels. They soak up water forever and dry quickly. I do have to resist the urge to iron, however....

I even bring cloth napkins in my lunch bag at work! People think I'm eco friendly for doing so; should I admit that they just make me feel special?

I like the Lock and Lock containers. They are glass, with plastic tops. I've seen them at Target, but also at the asian market. They also have a website

I saw a version of this with a Mexican flair - Migas. I made them with crumbled bits of leftover taco shells eggs, peppers, onions. Am thinking I'm going to have to try with bacon and maybe some croutons....

this would be my hubby's dream kitchen! (and my nightmare, as I'd be tasked with keeping it clean!)

I love Cutco! I always wonder why I don't see the brand listed more often in someone's favorite knives list. They are wicked sharp, have a great hand feel, and have never let me down.

I love my kitchen gadgets and would hate to have to part with any one of them. BUT, having said that, I just moved the slow cooker to the storage closet and haven't thought about it once since then. So - do I NEED it? And here I am, thinking about buying a rice steamer (this would be my second attempt at long term ownership). I just can't help myself!

I love Kinder Schoco! Especially since they were marketed as container some number of your daily milk servings - chocolate AND nutritious!

I may be in the minority but love my Cutco scissors and knives! Buying them is a pain, but the products are great.

I never thought to put my meat and rub in a bag! Usually I have the stuff all over the place and even up my nose by the time I'm done. I know that wasn't exactly what the directions called for, but that's what I'm going to do next time!
