Kitchen Love

As I work away in my NY tiny winy kitchen, bumping into the other end of the kitchen in half a step and sometimes even into myself, I think how lovely it would be to have a nice big roomy kitchen where you practically need skates, ah! Perhaps something like the ones above. Dream.

Parisian Loft Daydreaming

Apologies for lack of posts! Work has been craziness lately. Being pulled in all different directions has left me little time for P&P. Here is a gorgeous Paris Loft to lighten this wintry February morning. Given previous post, seems I have Paris on my mind! Coming up next, a belated Valentine's dinner.

Parisian Love

I am not into the Super Bowl much, but what I do enjoy are some of the commercials which I believe to be more interesting than the game itself. I thought I'd share this one by google, I thought it genius. Oh Paris!

C I O P P I N O ! ! !

Last night Mr. A and I enjoyed heaping bowlfuls of this delicious and oh so satisfying Italian fish stew. Served with lots of warm crusty french bread along with full bodied red wine, it's all you need on a very cold wintry Friday night after a long week. For an easy and quick recipe go here.

Happy cooking and eating!

#36 Don't eat breakfast cereals that change the color of the milk.
#39 Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself.

Love the kitchen.

Wouldn't you love to live in this artist's light-filled home and be able to bike to the beach?
