I once ate a delicious cranberry sauce at thanksgiving that had pomegranate molasses.

And where does port fit in this? My husband and I treat it like spirits.

Sarah and Steve's apartment liquor-bottle placement just inspired the solution for a problem we've been dealing with in my house--what to do with an old china cabinet. Now we're definitely turning it into a bar storage area! Thanks for re-posting these. I missed them all the first time.

I love Function Junction! Coolest store name of all time, too, I think.

I remember going to this store in the very early eighties and checking out lots of cool round bright plastic dishes (that are probably very collectible now!)

Is there still a plaza branch, too?

I wonder if that's the same cookbook we used to giggle over when I used to work at a used bookstore. It just had this hilarious line, when arguing why everyone should adopt a macrobiotic diet that went something like:

"In the last year, have you ever been angry? Even just once?"

We used to find that hysterical. Maybe you had to be there.

Still, I got a few good recipes out of it, like one for couscous and chick peas.

I'm so guilty of this! And my favorites are the carts that seem to point to some weird eccentricity. Real or imagined.

Under the sink for most cleaning supplies, brooms and vacuum in the coat closet (not ideal), bathroom cleaning supplies under the sink in the bathroom, laundry cleaning supplies by the washer/dryer in the basement.

This is the first apartment where I've been able to have this sort of arrangement. Before, space was much tighter.

I love all of these missouri posts! Oh, the memories!

What I remember most about this store from my childhood are those rich, oily little round garlic crackers!

I start every morning with an orange. I've never liked orange juice much at all. Oranges are getting pretty expensive now, but I still see them as a necessary splurge. I really can't live without citrus fruits, but always eaten whole, never as juice.

What a fascinating post! I've always thought of making butter as this arduous process involving standing over one of those wooden butter churns forever. I had no idea it could be a reasonable thing to do at home!
