Besides the Tomato Junk (glad you like, Faith) I also make 30 containers of red sauce each year, and freeze it. I can't remember the last time (15 years ago? longer?) I bought canned tomatoes or jarred sauce. Other than applesauce, it's the thing I make the most of each harvest season (and enjoy year-round). The proof is what my freezer looks like.

The chairs were built by adapting the pattern you can buy at Wave Hill, the world-class public garden in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, NYC. We heavied up all the stock and then (obviously) painted them -- a chartreuse pair, a red pair, a lavender pair -- to move around the garden at different times to brighten things. Pattern Wave Hill sells for $10 is based on WWI-era design by a Dutch architect, Gerrit Rietveld (whose original is in MOMA I think). Anyhow, the link to buy pattern: http://www.wavehill.org/shop/WaveHillChairPlans.html Next Week Offline: Margaret Roach!

Hahaha (re: the photo). Don't worry, Jack the Demon Cat is right here on his padded throne beside me, well cared for. No torture, promise. He's a giant of an animal and rather wild, hence the madcap moment captured in the pic. But don't send the ASPCA or anything; he's much loved. Next Week Offline: Margaret Roach!

There is nobody quite like Pam. I am blessed to have her for a neighbor and blogging friend; so glad to see you share her practical-mindedness and talent here. Pam Kueber Explains "Mid-Century Modest" \| Apartment Therapy DC Flag this comment	3/3/10 1:55 PM
@HolliM and @MissBecky: I (Margaret) have very few cabinets, you are correct. I have shelf-like platforms built under the sink (you can see it in the vertical photo) and in the lower half of the pantry for pots. I confess I even use that "drawer" under the oven. In the mudroom/foyer area, I have also tucked similar hidden spaces for things like coffee pots and blender and so on. Kind of like living on a ship. Thank you all for the kind words (and BrianG, for doing as told, tee hee) and Sara Kate for encouraging me to do this in the first place. I was nervous because SK is a real cook, but there was nothing to fear after all.
