Stanley Vacuum Bottle: Pastel Color for Spring
(13 April 2005) - Vacuum Bottle. In fact, the company had women in mind when they revamped its classic half-quart stainless steel canister.

Catch
(12 April 2005) - Catch--a seafood restaurant on Market--and I was extremely pleased. Fun and casual atmosphere, a tasty menu, and a wonderful staff. Eating there was an absolute treat--great fish, oysters, and more. If you're there on a nice day, try to grab a table outside on the street--I had a lot of fun people watching, and it was a good afternoon sunny lunch spot. ...

Delonghi Magnifica EAM3500
(12 April 2005) - I know, I know, you'd like to make your own cappucino in the morning, but it gets a bit complicated and messy, and we all like to support the non-chain coffee shop in the hood anyway. But what if you could put some fresh coffee beans into your coffee machine. And a little water and milk. And press a button. And not only do...

I'll Have One To Go
(11 April 2005) - Every once in a while the New York Times Sunday Magazine comes up with something really original. A few weeks back there was a story called “Chef d’Oeuvres” by Oliver Schwaner-Albright with photos by Tom Schierlitz that showed how committed some chefs are to their trade and the people and objects that inspire them. So much so that some chefs have had tattoos of...

Have Lunch in Style
(30 March 2005) - Built NY put out a great wine carrying bag (I have the two bottle ByoBag and I absolutely love it). This year, they may have topped their design with two new products: a six-pack carrying bag and a lunch bag. All of their products are made out of neoprene, so food or beverages stay hot or cold. In addition to acting as an insulator,...

Got Crabs?
(28 March 2005) - The International Home & Housewares Show hit Chicago’s McCormick Place last week (admittedly not as cool as Carol's trip to the gaming convention in San Francisco, but I digress). After trekking miles through the three buildings (without a Sherpa, I might add) filled with things for your kitchen, bathroom, garden, backyard, pets and more, I found a handful or so great gadgets that really...

June Taylor Organic Jams
(18 March 2005) - Friends of mine have been receiving little pots of June Taylor's jams for the last few years. It's been a closely held little secret of mine.

Chocolate-filled Eggshells by Bonnat
(11 March 2005) - The Bonnat family has been making chocolates in Voiron in the south of France since 1884.

I'm still tweaking from my visit to Boule-- LA's three month-old shop of wonders by pastry chef Michelle Myers (who is also the co-owner of Sona restaurant).

Havanna Alfajores Cookies
(25 February 2005) - . I found these Argentinian treats in a coffee shop in Miami and haven't stopped talking about them (and eating them) all week. Made by the well known Havanna brand, the best of the five flavors are the Dulce de Leche, which are coated in meringue. The textures and flavors create an uncommonly complex experience. These cookies are big and rich, and I find that...
