The Amazing Bibimbap.
Great little webcomic-slash-recipe from Kochen für Schlampen, documenting a dish of bibimbap’s metamorphosis from raw ingredients to finished product. Uggggggh, so delicious… Makes me miss the little Korean joint down the street from ...
Letterform.
Happy 2009! I am back and blogging after a long New Year’s weekend full of snowboarding (I am pleased to report I am still in one piece), cooking, and prancing around in long underwear. Let’s kick off the year with a look at Chicago-bas...
Hearth and home.
Love these pleasingly subdued yet carefully crafted household wants from Anthroplogie… Shown above: Airtight Kilroy canister | safari bottle stoppers made of recycled glass | green stoneware measuring bowls | house-shaped incens...
Noodle soup.
Not to go off topic or anything, but I must share with you the Noodle Soup Oracle. Somehow, all the combinations come out sounding delicious. Julie and I cannot decide - were the noodle soups all entered as is? Or does the algorithm make them up o...
Happy Thanksgiving!
Keep order at your table with these cute and simple letterpressed placecards from Small Square Design (thanks, Basak!). Happy Thanksgiving all! I’m off to eat my weight in turkey* and pie. * Don’t forget to brine your bird - I hear it&#...
Draw draw draw.
The drawings at draw draw draw make me smile - the style reminds me of the illustrations in some of my favorite books growing up, and the blog is like a kind of droll graphical diary. Artist Liz Tjepkema says: Computers frustrate me, but I like blog...
Tabletop Baskerville.
Too cool… plywood coasters fashioned from carefully cut Baskerville letters, from New York design student acd. You can find these on Supermarket here (and a version in clear frosted acrylic here!)....
First blog birthday!
For its birthday, I’m giving it… voilà! A second sidebar and thus, a little more room to grow. Strictly speaking I started blogging in January of last year, but it wasn’t until early September that I wrote what I consider to be i...
Snow & Graham on the interwebs.
After a long wait, Snow & Graham’s website is at last live! Here’s a preview of their line of letterpress. Also, there is a whole section on the site dedicated to sweet treats, for no reason other than that… they like them. ...
Tranquil tablescapes.
(Hmm… today is apparently a good day for alliterative blog post titles!) Anyway, I always enjoy visiting Carol Gillot’s Paris Breakfasts for her sweet watercolors, and today she has up these truly lovely photos - I have to share. I̵...
Plastic pears.
These udder-like pear juice bottles designed by Conor Hagan make me laugh. Check out their little feet. See more cool design work from Conor on his website. Via Design Milk. Share This...
Wine and olives.
An excerpt from a recent gchat (as you can see, we apparently think about food all workday)… 11:28 AM Melissa: i am brainstorming for our date 11:37 AM Melissa: i was thinking rustic kitchen because they have amazing olives 11:39 AM me: ooo you...
Happy Fourth!
Have a little red, white, and blue… Via Live, Love, and Eat Desserts. Share This...
Ever so clever.
Love these cocktail napkins from Toronto-based Avril Loreti - especially the trompe-l’œil-esque character of the wine stain design on top. These pretty watercolor wine stains are splashed liberally all over her website, too - take a look, or ...
PopMat.
Add a little scenery to the table with San Francisco-based Publique Living’s PopMats, 100% recycled pop-out placemats that double as placecards. Share This...
Life is beautiful.
Armed with her vintage Polaroid camera, photographer Jennifer Altman finds beauty in the little things - a drained cup of cocoa, a half-dozen fresh eggs, a pile of dishes waiting to be washed, breakfast… The graininess and soft blur inherent i...
Drool drool drool.
I keep eyeing this hefty tome at my local bookshop, and over time I’ve gone from simply admiring it to fully-blown coveting it. 1080 Recipes, by mother-daughter team Simone and Inés Ortega, has been Spain’s best-selling cookbook for the...
Only in Japan.
The MoMA store is featuring a limited-time collection of products usually found only in Japan, Destination: Japan. The 100+ items in the collection are all designed by established and emerging Japanese designers; here are some of the coolest (the pi...
Books for cooks.
From Angela Liguori, a gorgeous accordion-fold book that looks just as delicious as the Italian recipes printed upon it. Its beauty really lies in the details - a little modern, a little Victorian… I like it! Angela was originally trained in ...
Sharp.
These knives from Rockett St George boast both sharp edges and sharp wit. The cut-out letters supposedly help prevent crumbling and give you a clean cut; whether that really works or not, I’d be pleased to have a set of these offbeat knives in...
Stylized botanicals…
…in these fresh-looking letterpressed coasters from 12fifteen. Share This...
Eat and learn.
Earlier this week I found these a-ma-zing linen napkins at Anthropologie in the Back Bay from interior designer Sheila Bridges, and picked up ones for Italy, Spain, South Africa, and India. (Here they are, spread out on my spacious new desk(!).) I ...
Artwalk 2008.
Yesterday was a fine day for an open studios visit, and the Fort Point Artwalk definitely delivered. Here are a few shots from my wanderings around this art-loving neighborhood in Southie (which, as I discovered on Saturday evening on my way to see ...
Katie Rowley.
I was housing a grilled roast chicken sandwich at South End bakery Flour recently when my eyes drifted from the remains of my fatty panini, dripping melted brie, to the eccentric straw-blown work by local artist Katie Rowley hung up on the walls. He...
Because my eyes are bigger than my stomach.
Love this topographic map-inspired tableware designed by London-based Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino and Karola Torkos. Are you feeling modest, moderate, or greedy? Find these at Topoware’s etsy shop. Via elephantine. Share This...
Look at this beauteous beauty.
An aside on my other favorite topic: food. Merril and I created this massive and life-changing sandwich recently, and we call him… The Best Friend. Think thick slices of whole wheat bread, caramelized raisins, bubbling hot cheddar cheese, hon...
Finding beauty in the mundane.
Some of the best design transforms the mundane into the beautiful. These two pieces are, I think, great examples of this. UK artist Bethan Laura Wood creates these teacups that are treated to stain in predetermined places, so that lovely patterns ar...
Time for Cheese.
Big shoutout to realfriends (and now blogfriends) Julie Goldman and Becca Plofker, who recently started the deliciously kooky Time for Cheese (and Other Things that Make You Go YUM) blog. You know I like food blogs nearly as much as I like design bl...
Studio On Fire.
Um, I love food, so these bold letterpressed blank-inside cards from Studio On Fire hit the right chord with me. I think I’d send these little quirky works of art to those numerous friends who also make a pastime out of loving butter, cheese, ...
February First Friday!
Fridays are nice, but First Fridays are even better. Getting a peek at new art, chatting up emerging artists, and a big fat dinner in the South End - what a perfect way to pass an evening. Here are some shots from February First Friday, where we sa...
