So, the finishing touches aren’t quite finished on the kitchen. I will post pics when it is done. I am hoping it will be the end of the week. In the meantime, and to tide you over, links to two new-to-me blogs. Are you reading them? If you aren’t, you should.
Nienie makes me laugh, makes me cry, and makes me think. Every time I read it, it makes me grateful for the little corner of the world I occupy and reminds me of how precious life is. It has become a daily read for me. I am also enjoying another blog she writes – cuisinie – because I am always on the lookout for new recipes. Which speaking of…
…I am obsessed with Smitten Kitchen. A friend (thanks Kip!) turned me on to this one over the 4th of July weekend. Let’s just say I spent two weeks plotting what my first recipe attempt would be in the new kitchen. I love her ideas and her style of writing. And then there are the pictures. Oh man, the pictures. Maybe the best thing about it, though, is how searchable her recipes are. You can search by time of year, type of food, ingredient (particularly helpful if you find yourself with 37 eggplants in your farmbox and no ideas). Check it out. Make something delish. You won’t regret it.
Also, for those who have asked: BKF is available at Target. In almost every store I have visited and seen it, it is in found with the cleaning products, but on the bottom shelf. So, look down.
Carry on.
The Bitten Word is written by two really close friends of mine and is a GREAT blog, complete with beautiful photos of recipe executions (mostly successful, some not worth repeating…).
Oh, god. Nienie is awesome. Seriously, if I had half her strength, I’d be a superhero. As for SK, if you like her, I also recommend the following:
Orangette
The Wednesday Chef
Homesick Texan
They’re my go-to food blogs.
