My desire for Le Creuset to release their line of pink and lavender pieces in America is a well known and much complained about topic of cookware conversation. I simply can’t understand why they would keep such lovely colors overseas. Europe, Asia, and South Africa are so lucky. Anyway, I only have two eBay searches […]

I bet you thought I was kidding when I said I was going to buy one of these. Well guess what? I did! Sometimes it seems like Julia Child is the only person who really understands how bad it makes me feel when I burn an entire batch of roasted asparagus into charcoal-like crisps. But […]

July 31, 2007

I love my iPhone. Honestly, if Apple designed and released a toaster I’d be first in line, but in all seriousness this phone is a fantastic gadget with countless uses beyond making phone calls and listening to Mandy Moore’s fabulous new album while I’m walking to the T.

Anchor Hocking to the Rescue

June 18, 2007

Remember my pink obsessed craft disaster and how I was so crushed to discover that there didn’t appear to be any way to buy new lids for my favorite glass jars (where I store all of my baking ingredients: flours, sugars etc…). Well I contacted the customer service department of the manufacturer directly and an […]

I Want a Target Chefmate Dutch Oven

January 29, 2007

Oh happy day! I have been trying to hunt down the Target Chefmate Dutch Oven ever since I read about it in Cooks Illustrated after Christmas. I naively thought that I would be able to simply walk into Target, pick up this bright red pot and start cooking stews to my hearts content. I vividly […]
