Tell Me

I'm a guest this year. I'm looking forward to it but I do miss planning the meal and the table setting. How will you be setting your table?

Dreaming

I just love this kitchen. The floors, the tile, that table! It's like a dream. In it I can see me patiently and lovingly putting together a soup at the range while the children quietly work on homework at the table, feeling loved and nurtured.

Barefoot Contessa

Ina Garten is one of my standby favorites. She has a new book coming out called Barefoot Contessa, Back to Basics. I am eager to get a hold of it. She appears to be so easy going and I want to cook with her some afternoon. Her new 'barn' is amazing!

At the Table

The simplicity of this place setting makes it an appealing option for Turkey Day. Maybe with a twiggy centerpiece...
