Congrats! Very exciting. My favorite Kitchn recipes I've made are braised coconut spinach chickpeas with lemon, miso soup with a poached egg, ricotta mousse with balsamic cherries, and southern sausage gravy (I use this last one a lot). I love the idea for the book structure, too!

I made this today and it was wonderful! I added red pepper flakes and thyme (because I love a little spice with my creamy seafood dishes, and thyme for extra depth). So delicious! This recipe is a keeper.

I was trying to watch Fresh but the video quality was so bad - very jumpy, like there were not enough frames per second. is it my connection? Is anyone lse having this issue?

Julia Child, hands down, for all the same reasons Nora Rocket said above. What an inspiration for living and cooking!

I think glitter only works in large doses. I think a little glitter looks cheesy, but a lot of glitter looks rock star!

Yeah this is a beautiful makeover, so functional and attractive and thankfully not white. So wonderful to see this! Congratulations!

one of each, please.

This may be my favorite post ever for the sheer whimsy of it. LOVE

I have done several long distance moves and I have to support everyone who's said 'join up and/or learn something' - whatever it is, from church to meditation to meetups to classes to dog parks to sports to community activities. Sure, these people will only be aquaintences for a while - but friendship takes time to build a deep friendship. Eventually you'll realize who among the people you meet you're mutually drawn to, and a friendship will happen. Much like a romantic relationship you have to get out there, make yourself attractive, and recognize what's mutually exciting between you and a potential friend.

Threads like this do make me sad about mothers - I am friends with several mothers and married women and men who are still friends with me and do things. Maybe it's just the area I'm in or the type of person I'm attracted to but having kids or being in a relationship hasn't necessarily barred someone from being friends with me. (I have no kids)

Love! Great idea. I might make one of these soon.

For fillers, you can look up 'foam' in the phone book (how old am I?... on google) and there should be factor- type places that can give you a bit of foam to your sizes and texture (firm, soft, etc). Some were upholstry shops. If I remember correctly it's not very expensive. I had to replace one couch cushon once and it was simple this way.
