The Tiny Kitchen segments hosted by Jill Santopietro (a nytimes recipe tester) are encouraging, inspiring, and amusing. She prepares everything in her tiny ny city apartment, that is 11.5 sf (they must only be counting her usable counter!). The first video is for a Calvados cocktail: The Normandy (I've taste tested and it is delicious). I look forward to see what else she serves up. (image from New York Times)
Last night, I had a white elephant party to attend, but inconveniently had already made a trip to goodwill. I considered a selection of books, but then I remembered I had bought the 'Holy Toast' at an art museum and thought it would make a great white elephant gift with a package of white bread (makes the best images). It took awhile for someone to select it, but was probably one of the funniest gifts. Especially because the bread was opened first!I love getting together with friends and laughing over silly gifts, candle sets, good food, and stories.
