A regular sized bottle of milk just wouldn't work.

I finally ate some of the gnocchi I made last weekend (and promptly stuck in the freezer for future dinners).

It looks awful here, but it was quite good. I reduced some balsamic vinegar and added butter to it, then sauteed the cooked gnocchi in this mixture. Then I added some toasted walnuts.

Me. At age 5. This is the year that I got in trouble at school for playing with makeup, but I don't appear to be wearing any in this picture.

I have a ridiculously large collection of tea towels. Some are ordinary ones from Crate & Barrel or Ikea, but most of them are screen printed ones from Etsy or craft shows.

Because I have so many, I use them to wipe up or clean everything in the kitchen and have cut our paper towel use down substantially. In the 2 months since we moved, we've only used 2 rolls.

The squirrel on the left was a gift from my sister, so I'm not sure who made it, but the one on the right was bought last fall at Crafty Bastards in DC. It's by Claudia Pearson: claudiapearson.com/
