Growing up in Texas, most of my family members put salt on their watermelon and canteloupe. It was never my thing though.

Vodka and half of every soup I make. Also, sometimes wine ice cubes for cooking.

Getting this sort of tattoo wouldn't be my thing, but the quality of them is awesome!

Yum! I imagine this would be good with other types of berries too!

As someone who has lived through bedbugs, I just want to dispel this false notion that bedbugs don't come out during the day (the whole "sleeping with the lights on" idea). I've been bitten countless times during the days.

Hmmm, I was dissatisfied when I had frozen. I prefer the jarred kind typically.

I loved that zany Trix rabbit as a kid. He just never gave up.

I eat the TJ's peas all the time. I like frozen peas in a bag better than the box because it's easier to get a serving out.

I like to slice them thinly with some purple cabbage and grated carrots and a vinaigrette for a nice slaw.

I make fantastic meals for one all the time. Sunday night it was a homemade olive and tomato sauce with scallops pasta and tonight it was homemade fettuccine alfredo with shrimp. I find that making great meals for myself is a nice way to take care of myself, and that includes not just making dishes but also plating them -- I regularly fan fruit slices or place parsley sprigs on my plate. :)

I swear by my OXO peeler. I just recommended one to a friend today when he was going to buy the Swiss peeler. I don't know how I'd mange without it.

I signed up for a Boston CSA share this year too, but ours won't start until June -- it's still freezing here!

One of my favorite ways to eat strawberries is to dip them in whipped creme fraiche and then dip again into brown sugar.

It's super cool looking, but I would be sad without a few more splashes of color if I lived there.

This makes me think of the bricks of maple sugar that you can buy at New England farms which are so compact and will stay good for years.
