market finds } COATT

Morse coded necklaces by Rebecca Coagan Scharlatt of COATT. These are so clever and delicate. She has a selection of words and phrases or you can create your own. These make a great gift for gal pals, girlfriends, or family. I picked one up for myself (naturally)

Valentine’s Day Inspiration

I've never been a huge Valentine's Day celebrator, but the past couple of years I've celebrated with friends and now I look forward to it. Clearly since I am already thinking about it. I want to throw a dinner party much like I did last year,

Todd Selby

Voyeurism is one of my top 5 favorite past times, and it doesn't get better than the selby. I think i will finally pick up the book this Friday during the opening for their first US gallery show at Jackson Fine Art . Something exciting rolling into

Salted Caramels

Me and baking sweets don't really mix, but I'm thinking maybe I could manage to not burn these salt caramels. They look so tasty.

Milk Magic

Maybe it's this "snow storm" we are having in Atlanta and the fact that I have no milk, but after coming across these milk straws that turn plain old milk into flavored milk, I REALLY need some milk. Photo from Oh Joy! She's taste tested these

ART * MASSIMO VITALI

I am completely in love with these photos. They remind me of the summer I spent in Europe. The rocky beaches of the Cinque Terre, and the pebble beaches of Menton in the south of France

Wooden Crate Bookshelf

I spotted this bookshelf made from fruit crates on door sixteen.  I've looked for these types of crates to hold albums in the past, but I'm pretty sure they aren't so easy to come by on the cheap. To do: * Obtain more things on wheels. I

Freezer Peaches

I should have posted this earlier, as nectarine and peach season is pretty much over, but you can maybe get your hands on some before the months up. This one is ridiculously easy. Get yourself a big bag of peaches and chop them up into small cubes. Peeling

CONFETTI SYSTEM

I need my entire apartment covered in goodies from CONFETTISYSTEM. Sparkly, glittery, papery garlands, pinata's and party decor.

LOWCOUNTRY BOIL

Having grown up in Savannah I love a good lowcountry boil or oyster roast. The beauty of  lowcountry boil (or frogmore stew) is that you can do it year round. Last night I made it for just little ole me, but this recipe is good

Change in the weather…

Unless the weather takes another turn, we seem to have finally entered that time of year when it's brisk in the morning, warm and sunny during the day, and chilly at night. Perfect weather really. A time for layering, picnics in the sun and huddling around

PICKLED JALAPENOS

I had a few jalapeno peppers about to go soft so I decided to pickle them. I snagged a recipe from David Lebovitz's blog. I love his jalapeno pics. We had a few people over after the soccer game Saturday for drinks and to grill out. I

Canning Class!

Sunday I attended David DiCorpo's ABC's of Canning at Cooks Warehouse. David was awesome and I will be looking to sign up for another one of his classes. It was very hands on and they fed us pizza! Pickled Asparagus Jalapeno & Cucumber Relish Blueberry Lime Jam

Hurry Curry Cauliflower

The pickling continues with Alton Brown's recipe for pickled curry cauliflower. I didn't have cumin seed on hand so I used the powder that I did have. Pretty easy to make and should be tasty with a whole fish and some rice. 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 teaspoon cumin

IN THE KITCHEN * PICKLED RED ONIONS

I've made a quick marinated balsamic onion before, but never a true pickled red onion. I found this quick and easy recipe over at Brooklyn Supper and now I just need to make some pork tacos! My first homemade brine!

NYC Part 2: Eat and Drink

The stand out meal of this trip would have to be Momofuku Noodle Bar. Little bit of a wait, but well worth it. We didn't get the fried chicken, but the table next to us did and that is on my list next trip. "two whole fried chickens,

NYC Part 1: See and Do

Excellent trip to NYC as always. I'm going to do this in two post. A Food and Drink and an See and Do. Sadly I didn't make it out to Red Hook, but I did make it to PS1 Warm Up which was amazing. The Phenomenal Hand
