Cooking In Stilettos...
Thursday, February 5, 2009 My Vision of a Dream Kitchen...

If you walked into my kitchen, you'd see that I love the look of copper, oiled bronze and, occasionally, stainless. If I could get all my appliances in either copper or oiled bronze, I'd be THRILLED. The same with my pots. Currently, I have the Jenn-Air Mixer, Blender and Toaster in a copper color and they look amazing. It gives my kitchen a bit of Za Za Zu...

So, you can imagine my surprise when I saw this GORGEOUS Jenn-Air Kitchen while perusing the pages of Fine Cooking this month. You know what picture is definitely going on my vision board, right next to my Loubous. One day, I will have my kitchen - I firmly believe that. (Sorry Williams Sonoma Stove - you've been cast aside)
For now, I guess I'll just have to settle for this OXO Trashcan in Oiled Bronze.




Well, it's a start...

Thursday, August 28, 2008 Obsessed With: Le Creuset Caribbean Braiser...


One of the best used pieces of cookware in my kitchen is my Le Creuset Braiser. I bought it 2 years ago and it just is a workhorse in my kitchen. I bought it in the sassy red at the time because there was no such thing as Caribbean line. As Teal IS my favorite color, I really am starting to convert my kitchen to shades of teal and chocolate (with the occasional sassy red from my initial LC purchases).

However, lately I've been wanting to add more to my LC Caribbean collection and I encountered this 3.5 qt. braiser in Caribbean. I'm thinking, it might be good to have two, no. I use it much like a fry pan as well.

What do you think - should I add a new addition to the household?

Sunday, August 17, 2008 Obsessed With: Williams Sonoma Foulard Tablecloths

I'm in love, people - with a tablecloth. Yes, I know - this is the second tablecloth obsession in a year.
I'm waiting on pins and needles for the fall Williams Sonoma catalog but I happened to catch this on their website: Foulard Tablecloths in Gray.

It looks so lovely for a fall table.

Thursday, August 14, 2008 Obsessed With: Mesa Grill Seasoning Set...


If there's a spice rub or something when I'm shopping, I'll stop and investigate. If you saw my spice pantry, I swear you would laugh yourself silly.
This is something that I have been wanting for the longest: The Messa Grill Seasoning Set. Well, namely, Bobby Flay's infamous 16 spice poultry rub which, if I actually FOLLOWED directions in the Mesa Grill cookbook, I could ATTEMPT to make. However, I'm not that brave and to find all the ingredients ummm.. well that would be tough here in Orlando.

However, this set looks like it is just what the doctor ordered.

Wednesday, June 11, 2008 Obsessed With: LaTienda's Sangria Pitcher...

What is YOUR favorite summertime cocktail?

For me, it has to be Sangria. Sangria seems to bring visions of tropical breezes, cool places and relaxation. It's always a hit whenever it's on the menu and is one of my favorite go-to cocktails when I throw a soiree.

LaTienda has a stunning Sangria Pitcher that I'm contemplating purchasing. It's reasonably priced and has that "wow" factor that would look fantastic on the bar. I love to make big pitchers of Sangria and my guests just keep their glasses filled throughout the night.

Effortless and elegant entertaining - can't beat that.
