I've been holding on to a brick of Parmesan that my friend brought home from Sardinia for me a few years back. It still tastes so good - if loving it is wrong I never want to be right!

Speaking of Kombucha, does anyone have a mother / mushroom? Mine from last year has been sitting a little too long in the fridge.

I couldn't get my beet seeds to germinate! Will try a few direct sow next weekend, and see what happens. Kale has been amazing! The easiest plant to grow in the world!

Frozen berries, Edamame for quick protein fix. Homemade pesto from last summer that I made in a huge batch. Amy's Frozen Pot Pies and Trader Joes Frozen Pizza for those nights when you get home from work at 9:00 p.m. BRENNEVIN - or - Black Death, Icelandic Schnaps, Jaeger Meister, Czech booze. Lots of icecubes.

I've been planning for May 15 as the Chicago frost free date. I think years ago it used to be April 15, but due to inclimate weather over the years, its been pushed forward. Good rule of thumb: after Mothers Day you are in the clear. I started seeds indoors about a month ago, and thats been an interesting project.

Jooly - I second the comments per Adams and Sons, they are so knowledgable and reasonably priced. If you are looking for vegetables, fruit, berry transplants, try the Green City Market which opens in Lincoln Park in mid-may. Also Kilbourn Park hosts an organic plant sale every year in May. Get there early to find all kinds of goodies!

I'm pretty sure that American Apparel makes a Kelly Green throw blanket. Its made out of jersey / sweatshirt material, very soft!

I completely agree with Christine's comments on enjoying black in the morning, and greens / herbal in the evening. I enjoy a strong cup of Mariage Freres in the morning (Love Pleine Lune) and if I'm going out in the evening, I'll have a cup of green tea to keep me going. If it looks like a relaxing evening with an early bed-time I'll have a cup of ginger tea (Yogi tea makes a good one, or Traditional Medicinals) which soothes my tummy and tastes delicious.

Don't forget to try the sister-restaurant across the street, Tre Kronor. Lovely brunch, homemade danishes, omelets, great limpa toast and coffee! Downstairs has an amazing troll mural, and upstairs has relaxing vibe with sheers and natural wood aesthetic!

Side topic - anyone know how to wash a down filled duvet? I'm not a fan of dry cleaning...

This is a long shot, but does anyone remember a wonderful small antique / vintage store that used to be about a block and half north of Ravenswood Antique mall? It seems to have vanished without a trace. Perhaps they moved locations...

I love the Asain Hollywood glamour of these lines, laquered furniture and lushly patterned rugs! Has anyone ever been out to Taliesen in Wisconsin? His pairing of Asain design and artifacts combined with a modern woodsy aesthetic is near perfect!

During our long Chicago winters, I make a nice big pot of soup every Sunday afternoon. The pot makes for a nice, relaxed Sunday dinner, and then keeps me in healthy, quick lunches at work all week! This week I made a yummy batch of TVP (Texturized Vegetable Protein) two bean chili. The extra protein helps keep me warm and fueled all day!

I need to buy a new duvet cover and am considering a bamboo / cotton mixture. Does anyone have any good ideas about brands or where I could locate one?
