I love the shape of the corners on the yellow plate.
I use the strawberry plate for a spoon rest in my red, yellow, green, cream and white kitchen.

Felt like some delicious sandwiches. So went all out with avocado, tomato sans bacon. Quite refreshing. A good sandwich is an art form.

Does anyone know what this tool is? It has been sitting in one of our kitchen drawers for many years and annoying the hell out of me since it is often the one that gets hung up when you try to open it.
So I asked my wife what it was. No clue. I then asked my Mother-In-Law. No clue. So why the heck is it in our drawer driving me nuts?
What is this tool? My best guess is a some sort of lemon squeezer.

This is a hard-working tea kettle! It gets a workout two or three times a day.
Third Place Winner, Project 366-1, Weekly Competition #32 - Lets see some green
Chef's demonstration on how to make Shushi Cone rolls with rice, mushrooms, radish sprouts and mango
Not traditonal, but we add a couple of dashes of Zatarain's Creole or Cajun seasoning for a little kick.
And we don't add a whole bottle of red wine, just a cup±, enough to give the broth some body.

This hanging colendar provided a wonderful opportunity to compose with circles. The light was lively, too!

Yesterday morning my beloved asked me what my plans were for the day. I told him that I was going to a kitchen supply store with my mother.
She wanted to. And, to be honest, so did I. I've had flat whisk dreams for a while now.
And he said, "So, you'll probably want some money, right?"
You know...like we live in 1955.
And I said, "Money is always appreciated."
Because, why fight it if it's workin' for ya'.
So he asked how much I thought I needed. Which is just a ridiculous question. I've never been to this store. I don't know what they have. I don't know what they're charging. What I do know is that it's completely embarrassing to be standing at the register and not have enough money....so just give me everything you have and I'll bring you the change.
This is my thinking and my reasoning for responding with,
"Hundred bucks."
He laughed. Then he rolled his eyes. Then he looked at me like I was crazy insane.
But I stood strong. Ask for the moon and all.
So he says,
"Oh yeah right. Here's $40."
"Fine. I'll see what I can get with this," and I put it in my wallet, although I really only wanted to satisfy my flat whisk dreams and maybe a few fantasies about a french rolling pin.
Truly, I would have probably only needed $20, but I didn't want to tell him that because then he would say that he would have given me $60 and then I would have had to put on a strapless, red velvet dress and a sparkly diamond necklace and fly off to San Francisco to see the opera and rescue him right back.
And it was too early in the morning and I couldn't get my hair to curl right.
Besides, I've never been much of an opera fan anyway.
When he got home last night he asked me what I bought and we played Kitchen Toy Store Show and Tell.
"How much did it come to?"
"$37 and change."
(because the first $20 did, in fact, cover the whisk and the rolling pin, but maybe a few things jumped into my basket that I wasn't counting on)
(3 ladles in graduated sizes are always useful)
(one professional spatula beats the crap out of two plastic ones)
(a red, silicone basting brush that stands heat up to 500 degrees?...come on!)
"Well, it's a good thing I gave you forty."
Right.

Obviously this has never been used! Why in the first place do they sell these wooden meat tenderizers? I would consider this porous and once I beat a piece of bloody meat, I would have to consider this trash.
Our son made this piece of pottery, and we use it to store our cooking utensils. It's an example of the small bits of beauty we can add to our lives.
