Five foodie-finds for Friday, May 17th.

May 17, 2013 2 Comments

Today’s foodie finds are pure fun.

1.

Reclaimed wood cookbook stand. How many of you have a cookbook stand in your kitchen?  Can I see a show of hands?  I don’t.  Yet.  This one is rustic and hand formed from reclaimed wood from Europe. Each on is unique.  Just like you.

 

2.

Polar bear ice tray. Sorry for the impracticality yet it is too cute for me to care about being practical and all that.  It’s BPA free so there are no worries of breakage as you * SLAM * BANG * it on the counter to release the ice!  All without touching its coldness.

3.

Ruffoni Hand-Hammered Copper Risotto Pan. Because risotto rocks. And so does hand-hammered. And copper. And Ruffoni, which I am pretty sure is Italian for gotta-have-it.

4.

Set of two vegetable canning towels. Have you figured out how much I obsess over tea towels?  If you are into gardening, canning, admiring someone else’s garden, or hoping them will give you some of their canning goodness, buy this.  One for you and one for them.  You’re so thoughtful.

5.

Smokey the bear salt and pepper shakers. It’s picnic and camping time.  Not your cup of tea? No problem, these little Smokey-dudes got you covered while you BBQ on the back deck.  Maintain your cool with a side of cute.

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?

In pursuit of small joys that add simplicity to life. + @nwafoodie

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
