Like the appropriately named rustypatina, I don't care for shiny new brass, but love the look of old pieces with that beautiful patina. Bring It Back: Vintage Brass Accents |

This is just beautiful—a great blend of natural textures and industrial, and the light fixture and teal stenciled wall are fabulous touches. Hakarl and Jili's Room for Family Kitchen Tour |

I'm kind of intrigued by this idea, but irritated by the misnomer--it's not a pie without a bottom crust, it's a crisp/cobbler/crumble/slump/grunt/buckle/brown betty/something else. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Look! Top-Only Pie Crust of Overlapping Shapes |

My understanding is that the bowl-lift Pro model is preferred by frequent bread-bakers. The tilt-head Artisan (which I've got, and love) jitters all over the counter when you knead dough with it for any length of time, and the Pro, I hear, doesn't.

When I visit my real hometown (New York) from school, I bring back the fixings of a big Jewish brunch from Fairway: bagels, lox, and Ben's organic cream cheese. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | What Foods Do You Bring Back From "Home?" |

oh, slipperymarshmallow, salted butter (ideally the cultured kind) and jam (ideally apricot, as far as I'm concerned) on toast (ideally a slightly crisped baguette) is one of the great pleasures of existing as a human being.

This American knew what PEI stood for, but all credit goes to Miss Montgomery and her lovable Anne. But I've never actually seen mussels referred to as "PEI"--in my mussel experience, it's usually written out fully as "Prince Edward Island." Love 'em.

I use a Lello Il Gelataio compressor machine inherited from a late uncle--he bought it in the late '80s or early '90s, and it still works like a dream. No prep necessary. I do wish the bowl were removable--as it is, I have to get in there with a sponge (I believe many of the current machines have removable bowls).

Since I suggested this recipe on the previous thread, I feel sort of responsible for the lack of success! But I've never noticed a bitter taste, and I've made it several times. I've never done it with browned butter, though--could that have anything to do with it? (And as I mentioned, I skip the salt on top, and just sprinkle with coarse sugar.) I haven't served this cake as a dessert at a dinner, either--it's more a slightly sweet snack, with leftovers for breakfast/brunch--so it might also have to do with expectations.

Ortine is adorable--the food is quite good, and the service has been excellent both times I've been (which is a rarity in Prospect Heights, Tom's excepted). My only gripe: the coffee! I want to sit all day and revel in the lovely atmosphere & buy pastries & read books, but the coffee, it is too bitter. Maybe it's a hint to try the espresso drinks instead.
