Five foodie-finds for Friday, April 5th.

Friday. Friday. Friday. Hello lovely beautiful Friday. Your Friday is going to get even lovelier because you are going to want to buy every single one of today’s foodie finds.

It’s okay.

You are worth it.

1.

French copper bowl for Kitchenaid mixer. This unlined copper bowl is made in France as an exact retrofit for your Kitchenaid mixer. This is for the ultimate foodie who wants a perfectly whipped egg or absolute perfection when candy making.  Scratch that, forget perfection… look how gorgeous that shiny copper bowl is!  This is going on my wish-list right (after I buy a Kitchenaid mixer). Wouldn’t you just love one of these?

 

2.

Fox’s U-Bet Chocolate Syrup. Craving chocolate?  Fox’s U-Bet chocolate syrup has been made in Brooklyn by H. Fox & Company since 1895 and was and is the preferred syrup used in both fountain and home made egg creams in the New York area.  That’s a serious claim by Yankees who are serious about their food.

3.

Organic orange zest.  My super friend VickiW excitedly told me about these adorable little packets of spices that come in handy teaspoon sized packets. On Saturday she gifted me a packet of orange zest and lemon zest so now I am always a pantry-length away from any recipe that calls for it.  C’mon, a foodie must always be prepared and ready to wow.  Thanks VickiW!

4.

Hand-painted pantry cabinet knobs.  These make me smile.  It also makes me wonder who would put these on their cabinets.  I think I would want to be their friend.

5.

Grill’n Barbecue Branch Skewer.  This skewer had me when it said, “holds twice as much as a traditional skewer.”  This is a manly tool and a perfect gift to give when your copper Kitchenaid mixer bowl arrives on your doorstep.  You’re welcome.

Happy Friday!

Lyndi

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

    That copper bowl definitely belongs in my kitchen! Think I will frame a picture of it and put it on Hubs nightstand. Think he will get the hint? Just checking on you….

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 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?

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
