We're going to the beach this weekend, so I did all the cooking today. Faith's Sausage Artichoke and Goat Cheese Egg Bake (it smells so good), almond meal muffins with strawberries, Rose Bakery's roasted rhubarb, pickled asparagus, brown rice salad, and these WT Bars:

Thank you for this. The recipes I see online (here and elsewhere) or in this month's magazines make me feel like I should be tripping over crates of strawberries and rhubarb right now, but we've barely got US-grown asparagus here in Portland. Sometimes I wonder if I'm shopping at the right places, but this list helps. I'd love to see an updated version every two weeks.

We just returned from a trip and aside from all the actual food we brought, we returned with a rolling pin, individual butter holders, and ring molds from Paris (as well as canele molds for a friend with a cafe) and the most ridiculously perfect wedge-shaped Parmigiano Reggiano custom tupperware container from Parma (filled with cheese, of course) from our Parma ham and cheese tour in Italy.

I really enjoyed this post and would love to try my own version of it. Thanks.

This is so awesome. I think it is one of my favorite things the kitchn has ever done. I love seeing other readers in their kitchens.

I agree with the first commenter--health issues. I can handle varying amount of other "off-limits" topics, but seriously, who wants to hear about unappetizing subjects during a lovely meal?

Just yesterday, I was seated between two of my husband's distant relatives at a banquet. I'll spare you the details, but the term "lady parts" was used multiple times by my dining companions. And not in a fun way.

We don't have a lunch drawer, but we do have a snack zone. It houses the nuts and dried fruits we buy in bulk, the occasional box of crackers, and sometimes candy.

Yes, we do this, but not nearly so fancy. Plus, guys always attend. If we want to have friends over on a Sunday (but not get ready early enough for brunch), this seems easier than a dinner on a work night.

Seeing this is making me so excited--we're leaving in approximately (exactly) 20 days to stay with friends in Istanbul. They do an extensive version of this for breakfast--the mom is a terrific cook and I'm looking forward to being so full that I have to sneak out of bed in the middle of the night to nibble on baklava-style desserts because that's when I actually have room for them.

I'm bookmarking this post. Love gin.
