You know, for some people $35 is a big investment. I know for me a few months ago it would have been out of reach. Now that I can afford that, I find I still don't want an ice cream maker as I can make a similar (or better) product without.

I'm short. If I'm storing things above the cabinets then that means I'm never using 'em, so they might as well go to a new home.

I love the bright wallpaper up there. Brings the eye up, enlarges the space. Exactly as much wallpaper as I'd ever want to apply, see or remove.

Awesome.

You know where this might actually work? A restaurant or cafe.

OMG, shut up about MSG. Most people have no side effect. Those that do: avoid it, just like anyone else with an allergy avoids a particular food. Just because one person needs to avoid peanuts or gluten or soy doesn't mean everyone has to. All foods are made up of chemical compounds, just because it's manufactured, doesn't mean we shouldn't eat it.....if that were true we'd have to cut out all fermented and processed foods, including beer, bread, cheese, yogurt, etc.
We'd also have to give up on all medicines, from those as simple as aspirin to those as critical as insulin.

Ugh. So tired of the MSG righteousness.

Hey, if it attracts people to a heritage breed and helps build an organic business, more power to 'em.

Woooo Viroqua! I love that little town! It's chock full of sophisticated surprises :)

I really loved the line "Something not born of human thinking or design". That's how I feel about it too, getting out of your own head for a while, away from the words, words, words (voices, ads, tv, internet, texting, emails) and just BEING. Miss that lately as I haven't had a kitchen for a while (been living in temp quarters for a couple of months now). *sigh*

Awwwwwsoooooommmmme.

Woot Wisconsin cheese!

Dunbarton Blue was one of my favorite finds at Madison's downtown (Capitol Square)cheese shop, Fromagination.

They let you have tastes of everything and I love that they have "orphans" at the register; little slices and end pieces that cost only a dollar or two. A great way to try a bit before committing to a larger portion.

They also sell local beer, truffles, macarons, salts. It's magical. And the smell when you walk in the place! Mushroomy and cheesy. Love.

I love a good word cloud.
