We always grocery shop when we're on a trip. We bring home food souvenirs more than anything, and it makes for fond memories in the coming months. Sometimes it is more expensive than the grocery store at home, but if we spend $40 extra on food that we'll enjoy (we buy a big sackful usually), we don't spend that on tchotchkes.

My favorite is Fava Beans with Fennel and Pancetta. It is ridiculously melty good.

leapkate--I'd totally watch your cat in exchange for that.

I'm making arugula risotto, those smoked mozzarella-stuffed peppadews that were on here recently, salad with blue cheese dressing, and a salted butter tart for dinner tonight.

What a charming family and home. A family with a boston is almost always charming, though.

Just to add to the Arrested Development naming topic, I met a girl who has a pet skunk named Tobias Skunke.

Yep, we've subscribed to Sauvie Island Organics for the past few years and love it.

The Lloyd Hotel in Amsterdam has one and I kind of love it.

I got the cart a couple of weeks ago to use in our office, and I love it. I wrote about it here:

I made shakshuka for the first time a couple of weeks ago using David Lebovitz's recipe. We fell in love with it.

My mom still has some of the cheap cookware from when my parents first married, and passed some along to me when I moved out (about 15 years ago). My keepers from that bunch are a yellow plastic colander, a small, thin saucepan, and a wooden spoon that's been so burned and battered it's hardly recognizable.

I tried this today and we loved it. I couldn't bring myself to use whole milk, so we had 2%, and I cut the water down by 1/2 cup, but it was totally wonderful.
