Description

This eggcup militia gets "A" for effort but I have a feeling they're no match for the bread soldiers on the march. Love this - especially because we are dedicated soft-boiled egg breakfasters. And because OUR soldiers are elite egg-killing Green Berets I'm not too worried these guys are going to get in our way. (via Notcot)

St Germain Elderflower Liqueur

8 people recommended this item

Description

St. Germain, c'est chouette. Made of Elderflowers from les Alpes, it adds perfumed complexity to martinis, especially those with fresh juice, and to tequila and rum cocktails. And to breakfast, cheris. After all, a liquor named for the most bohemian arrondissement should be enjoyed in nothing but a bohemian manner.

Tapatio Salsa Picante Hot Sauce

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

XXL Tapatio... extra awesome. I've always wanted to steal a grande bottle of Tapatio from a taco truck. And, of course, I never ever would; not only do I not steal (bad juju) , but I couldn't live with the thought of having deprived others of its tangy goodness... and now that LA taco trucks are getting the heat, they need all the help they can get (La Oaxacatena, we're rooting for you to keep your Rose/Lincoln corner).

Which reminds: last time we were there, we heard a very confused (stoned) kid try to order a taco burrito. Taco burrito? Rich.

Venice Farmers' Market

First to recommend

Description

If you can not only buy organic, local product but also walk to the market selling it, nature loves you. Our marché of choice is two blocks from our pad. How lucky is that?

Michael Pollan - In Defense of Food

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

"Eat food. Not to much. Mostly vegetables."

In Defense of Food, a good-for-you and good-for-earth eater's manifesto from food intellectual Michael Pollan who, last weekend in NYT's Sunday mag, recommended that we all grow some of our own food and, several weeks ago, said that rising grain prices aren't the worst thing because maybe, if we're lucky, people will eat fewer Cheeto's. (Or something like that)

Three Vodka 750 ml - Wally's Wine and Spirits

First to recommend

Description

The guys at Wally's claim 3 makes you hangover-proof. I am not prepared to comment on that because I am such a lightweight that my drinking must stop before there is grave hangover danger. Extra healthy hippie tip: Make it a superfood by shaking with kombucha

Also, I like how you can attach the bottle to your climbing harness.

Craft of Cooking: TOM COLICCHIO

First to recommend

Description

Tom Colicchio is such a badass that I felt compelled to learned how to spell his name so i could sing his praises. Did you know he won the James Beard award when he was at Gramercy Tavern? (Swoon, Gramercy Tavern.)
