  • A Kitchen Table

    A Kitchen Table

    One of the things that came up, when we found our new apartment, was the fact that there was room for a kitchen table. I liked that idea, but didn’t really think that much about it. As we set things up, though, there was an obvious space in the kitchen–in front of my cookbook shelf–that…

    My New Cookbook Shelf

    Let’s pretend that I have a boyfriend (or partner or whatever it is you prefer I call him, you touchy readers you) named Craig and let’s pretend that Craig, one day last year, bought a designer bookshelf from H.D.

I mean look at it. Wouldn’t you want to spend a lot of time in there cooking? We move in on…

    Collecting Vintage Menus to Hang in My Kitchen

    I’m not sure how the idea came to me. How did it come to me? Ok, I was in San Francisco, staying with my friends Kristen & Felix, and I had a bit of a cold (another illness! Proof that I’m dying?) While coughing and sneezing in their guest bedroom, I was noodling around on…
