I really want to love it! I don't mind it in fresh salsa or with some sundried tomatoes and garlic baked on top of a salmon.. but I could certainly live without it. Do You Hate Cilantro? It May Be Genetic. Gizmodo |

I loved Sophie Dahl's television series, Delicious Miss Dahl. Her cooking style is effortless and the kitchen set was beautiful. I can only imagine how wonderful this recipe collection is! Very Fond of Food by Sophie Dahl New Cookbook |

I think this gets said a lot around here, but I have long since stopped trying to make my child play with toys that please my aesthetic sensibilities. In fact the more garish the toy, the more he seems to enjoy it. Bath time toys, right now, are some tub crayons and an empty yogurt container that he LOVES. 10 Favorite Toys for the Bath |

So I'm nuts and I like to add a little sweetness to my guac. If tomatoes aren't sweet enough (aka out of season) then I'll add the tiniest pinch of sugar. If I'm feeling crazy, I add quartered grapes instead of tomatoes. It's ridiculously good. Really! How to Make Better Guacamole: Tips from Two Food Writers |

I never liked wine and chocolate together and everyone thinks I'm nuts. Time to print this out and bring it along with me to dinner parties. Oh sweet validation, you feel so good. Wine and Chocolate: A Pairing To Love... Or Hate? |

Those spoons are really beautiful. The Etsy seller does say that the coloured handle shouldn't come in contact with food though. With the colour going that close to the spoon bit I'd be afraid of getting cookie dough, pasta sauce etc. on the coloured part (hey, I'm a messy cook, what can I say?). I may need to buy them just to display though. Beautiful. Love the Avocado colour she has as well! The creamers are beautiful too.

@JLS988 - I was having troubles with following recipes as the ones I wanted to try out (from the Kitchn and other websites) seemed to always include some sort of dairy element. When I purposely tried to find dairy-free recipes, it seemed like all I could find were recipes that once contained dairy that were modified to include dairy-free ingredients like dairy-free milk etc. rather than just good tasting meals that happened to be dairy free. The anecdote I told in my original post about the cookbook happened a few years ago and I'm doing much better these days steering clear of dairy in meals.

I'm lactose intolerant (although I still indulge occasionally, but usually only when I'm at home and know I won't have to go anywhere any time soon). I understand the cravings for something cheese-like, but I've found, through many trials, that fake cheese is never going to cut it. I'd much prefer to find a delicious recipe that stand alone than try to replicate lasagna with fake cheese. Why It's So Hard To Create a Truly Cheese-Like Vegan Cheese NPR |

Would a layer of tinfoil work to counteract bpa leaching into the food? I can't seem to find BPA free tin cans and I would love to try this! Small & Sweet: Mini Cakes Baked in Tin Cans |

While the cake part is a little more difficult to make, I'm totally stealing the "cover throughly with sprinkles" idea from the Purple Ombre Sprinkle Cake: http://www.raspberricupcakes.com/2011/11/purple-ombre-sprinkle-cake.html Easy Cake Decorating: 4 Ideas for a Pretty Party Dessert |

I made cupcake stands for my sister's bridal shower. They doubled as cupcake display and party favors. Everyone loved them! They are really easy to make, here's my tutorial: http://dohdums.wordpress.com/2010/08/30/tutorial-individual-cupcake-stands/ 5 Examples of DIY Dessert Stands |

I like these ideas. If it's a startup you are usually working looong hours and end up eating together anyways, just together but separate or someone puts in an order for terrible take out just because it's quick. Having the forethought to put together great lunches or breakfasts for the team would make the group closer and more in tune. Chatting over food is a great way to get to know people!

All for reusing and reinventing stuff already around the house, but I really don't like the look of this. I prefer to keep my kitchen towels in a drawer. Most of them are fit for display anyways.. A Clever Way to Store Dish Towels: Use an Old CD Rack! |
