They are great! They call them sarvisberry in North Carolina, I hear. My grandmother had them in southern Russia. Very few people seem to know of them.

When I was a kid people in northern part of Russia used to have small boxes hanging outside the kitchen windows to store food, which would work especially well in winter.

I like Alvin swing arm lamp with double shade baffle for glare reduction. Art supplies stores or Amazon. For $20 and under it will not be the greatest quality, but it works just fine for me and in a right setting it will look cool.

You can make a Panzanella salad. I made it with 7-grain instead of Tuscan bread and it was great.

Also, in my experience you don't get much choice, if any, when looking too far in advance. In many cases landlords give lease renewal notices to their current tenants one or two months ahead, then tenants respond with their decision a month of 2 weeks ahead of their lease expiration.

You absolutely don't have to pay the fee. A lot of buildings lease on their own and charge nothing. Go to www.nybits.com.

There you can find listings and also buildings contact information, so if you like a particular building (probably not your case) you can go to their site and check in from time to time to see if there are openings.

Sori Yanagi's kettle is the best. I loved it so much I went to Japan to get it! This is my most favorite thing in the whole kitchen.

It did get burned once, but now I'm so much more careful about leaving anything on the stove. So like a good friend the kettle taught me responsibility :)
