You know you want this.

Tetris ice cubes.

One problem: they don’t actually exist.
Yet.

I am in a rut.

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

The boring kind of rut, too, not the fun rutting-like-crazed-weasels kind.
January kicks my ass pretty solidly every year. I bought a HappyLight® last year — an amazing device with an incredibly stupid name — and its fake sunlight tricks my brain into thinking it’s at least April-ish. Pre-HappyLight, winter was a lot worse, but […]

I don’t know about you…

…but goddamn, I so want one of these:

Come on! Hydroponic spaceship herb growing pod! IT IS SO COOL.

Shove off, Toblerone.

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

I have a new Swiss favorite: raclette.
My mother-in-law sent me a gift certificate from my birthday, and I promptly went out and bought this grill/griddle/raclette maker.

So, that’s the raclette cheese, some salami, cornichons and small Yukon Golds.
First, a warning.

A review and a question.

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

I’ve never really liked honey.
I’ve always felt it was okay for certain situations — in tea when you’re sick, mostly. So, when I ran out recently, I wasn’t in any great rush to buy more, seeing as I’m not due to get a cold for another couple months at least.
Still, when I saw […]

The downward-facing dog pose of food.

Friday, March 16th, 2007

I had a yoga instructor who used to tell her students everyone has one pose they find effortless on their very first try*, and one pose they will always struggle with. As for me, like the title says, downward-facing dog is my yoga nemesis. No matter what I do, it just doesn’t work out for […]

Make Your Life Gezellig with Skookum Handmade

Tuesday, February 20th, 2007

I sat down to write this post mostly as a way to show off this cutting board I just bought.

Nice, isn’t it?
It’s from Skookum Handmade, a brand-new Etsy shop. In an effort to make this a real post (and not just me bragging about latest Etsy score), I asked Justin, its proprietor and a Seattle-area […]

I think I’m in love.

Sweet, translucent, blue plastic love.
Meet the Cupcake Courier.

It’s crazy gigantic, but it holds three dozen standard cupcakes, or you can remove the trays and use it as a cake carrier.
The Cupcake Courier could make me rethink my plans to homeschool the kid — just so I could use this baby more often.

Make Your Cookies… Something. Gezellig, Maybe; But Definitely Something.

Monday, December 4th, 2006

Julie’s recent über-gezellig post on cooking for dogs (which sent my dog-loving kid into spasms of squee over the photos) had me admiring her collection of dog-specific cookie cutters — although it took me a full cup of coffee to realize that one on the bottom right is a squirrel and not a monkey as […]

P.S. Yes, that is the guy from Le Cirque on the cover.

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

My mom, the brilliant gift-giver that she is, managed to combined my two favorite things — cooking and New York — into one gift. She gave me a copy of a cookbook I’d never even heard of before: New York Cookbook: From Pelham Bay to Park Avenue, Firehouses to Four-Star Restaurants by Molly O’Neill.
I’ve yet […]
