Good morning, my friends.  How are you on this beautiful Friday morning?

Today’s five foodie finds are all over the board.  You don’t mind, do you?  It’s the one-day of the week where I can just go willy-nilly and share completely random foodstuffs with you.

It makes me all giddy inside.

Enjoy!

1.

Rustichella D’Abruzzo Anchovies. There is something alluring about an anchovy.  Expand your fish repertoire with these anchovy beauties from the Adriatic Sea.  Fleshy pink, these fish are cured in salt and skinned before being packed in olive oil. Deeeeeelightful.

 

2.

Let’s Bake teal May Books. Are you notebook freak like I am?  These little 5×8 soft canvas 80-page books are completely customizable. A perfect gift idea for your best baking buddy or  c’mon, let’s be honest, for your very best friend… yourself!

3.

Orange giraffe child set. How can you not love a giraffe?  Or, love a giraffe on an orange plate?  Does it get any better than that?  If you have extra cash lying around and figuring out what to do with it, this is it.  You’re welcome.  I am here for you.

4.

Table sweeping set. Are you fascinated with the little table linen sweeper gadget in an ultra fancy restaurant? Me, too.  This little beech wood brush has built-in magnets that adhere to the stainless steel dustpan for easy storage.  Think of how much this little gadget will improve your lives!  Think how much it will help you clean up during your next dinner party!

5.

LED silicon grill light. You know that grillin’ time is here and here to stay for a while.  Are you ready?  You may have the charcoal, propane, and the food, but don’t forget the light.

Do you have a foodie find that you would like to share?  Drop me a note at nwafoodie (at) gmail (dot) com.

Happy Friday!

Lyndi

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

My name is Lyndi Fultz, and I live in the beautiful Ozark Mountains, which span Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.

I like to share small ideas for living simply and eating happily.

You will find that I talk a lot about food because we all need to eat. Why not add little bits of food joy where possible?

There are signs of spring everywhere, and I am rea There are signs of spring everywhere, and I am ready for it! Yet..... that doesn't mean that I'm still hopeful for some cool mornings where we can light a fire!

My answer in the comments - share yours!
There is something quite glorious about simplicity There is something quite glorious about simplicity. I'm really feeling it as Dennis and I sit here in our living room, next to the crackling fire. Full disclosure, this picture isn't me BUT I do have the exact same coffee cup. Anyoo, I'm reminded how wonderful it is to be still. Not that I ever forget that reminder, it's just easier to revel in it, next to a fire. With snow softing falling outside. You know what I mean?
My coffee routine is alllll over the place! Firs My coffee routine is alllll over the place! 

First, it was a percolator.
Then came the Breville coffee maker.
Next, along came a bodum pour over.
Quickly replaced by a French Press.
Then came an Aeropress.
Followed by a rediscovery of a favorite instant brand we enjoyed in Isreal.
Now, Aeropress is making a comeback. 
And our beloved LaVazza espresso.
Which tastes like vacation at the Sonnelap in Vail.

Am I the only one who does coffee in phases?

What's next?

Probably need an espresso maker!
Isn't it interesting how two things with the same Isn't it interesting how two things with the same word can convey entirely different moods?

Microwave turntable = quick, fast, speed

Record player turntable = slow, easy, chill

Both have their places. But man, oh man, I am finding myself craving more of the latter: slow, easy, chill. 

Now, to get a record player...

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
