I think this is an utterly genius idea, though I think you're limiting yourself in your marketing prospects by saying the product is just for people who abstain from alcohol for religious/health/recovery reasons. I think this is like Better Than Bullion for wine. You should totally market it that way "For when your bottle is too good to put in the pot."

I have never found ANY technique that works for hazelnuts. Roasting? nothing. Blanching? even less. If anyone knows of some magic hazelnut denuding technique I' be eternally grateful!

My parents had the top one when I was a toddler/little kid and, let me just say one thing: I LOVED IT. It was the greatest piece of furniture ever. I would crawl inside it, and suddenly it was a submarine, or a spaceship, or a car or... or... OR... So many things, so many wonderful memories. If you've got kids and are considering buying one of these, I cannot possibly recommend it highly enough. The memories...

Oh, and that would be in her recent memoir, The Tenth Muse, drrrr.... must have more coffee

Absolutely! When we moved into our parlor floor apartment in Brooklyn I initially put up just curtains, but felt they didn't give enough privacy so I hung up some thin, white cotton roman shades that are too short for the windows. I hung them on thing chain so that there's space for sunlight to come in from the top.

I love the effect, it's bright and airy and sophisticated, but still gives privacy, and everyone that sees it comments on how much they like it too. (and did I mention I made the curtains myself?)
So go on! Have it both ways!

Andries Vierstadt and the blonde girl that took over from him on that Scandinavian cooking series. I loved them both! They were really interesting to watch and wicked good cooks to boot.

OH! I'm buying a queen bed for my Christmas present to myself! This sheet set would be AMAZING! please pick me :-)

Oh my lord, pick me! PICK ME! I've been lusting after one of these for ages.

So, what would I make with it? Olive tapenade, hot sopresatta and gooey cheese paninis with pickled onions until I'm blue in the face.

Yes, they were simple, but they also appreciated quality and efficacy.
Up at the original site in Watervliet, just outside of Albany, they had a whole herd of Studebakers because they were the best cars they could buy and allowed them to make their deliveries more efficiently than if they did it with say, horses.
They didn't eschew technology like the Amish, in fact, if they were still around today, I bet they'd be way into the internet and that Mother Ann Lee would think this project is pretty cool.

Hi ace!
Yep, you saw artichokes.
I just happened to bop into that stand not too long after Ms. Waters had left and they were positively THRUMMING with excitement. The stand is at the Union Square greenmarket on Fridays on the north end of the park. I'm pretty sure Chris or someone else on the AT:K team did a profile of them not too long ago. The 'chokes are really good and they're across from Yunos Farms' stand which also sells all sorts of delightful things like pimientos de Padron an funny little Turkish eggplants.
