Total soup newbie question: the pork chop is cooked beforehand, right? Then added to the soup?

Winner!

The Shaker Stove from Wittus is pricey as heck, but so gorgeous that I'm actually looking at places I can cut other things in my budget just to afford it. It, too, is EPA certified and can qualify buyers for a tax credit.

This is great. Excited to read more.

Energizing. Spiky. Makes me want coffee and Derrida. I like it a lot!

That is a beautiful bedroom. Well done!

Well, gosh. That's my apartment.

Thanks to Mark, who is a gentlemen and an artist, I'm looking at and enjoying these stripes right now.

He's quite right that the color runs a bit blue. We've found that on a day of strong sunlight the wall looks almost navy. The other walls in the room are Shaded White from Farrow and Ball.

The chair was eBay, the lamp and steel table were craigslist. Pink roses were Mark's idea. :)

Been doing this now for 3 years and it is very much worth it. Bonus side-effect - when I want to watch big, live events, I'm forced to go out and join others at bars, hotels lobbies, friend's houses, etc. I watched the election returns at a Brooklyn theater, for instance, which was exciting and companionable in a way I couldn't have imagined.

Old cast-iron pot, big and shallow. Makes a huge difference in a room about 15 x 20.

Before we bought it, our house was vacant for a winter. Apparently a sickly deer moved in and nested in the kitchen, only to disappear in early spring.

The house, thus, is now named Fawn's End.
