David, thank you for the amazing journey into your adopted countryside. I enjoyed every minute of your blogging and wish it could go on for at least another week.

It is a breed of pig. Berkshire Pigs Berkshire Pigs

I use an old berry bowl that sits on the stove for my kosher salt. That way I can add a pinch when needed.

Shelby, I grind dried rosemary in an old coffee grinder for a couple of dishes whereI don't want it visible in the end product.

Here are most of mine; there are some in the freezer as well.

Your breakfast table is mighty inviting, to say nothing of that beautiful apricot tart. Am loving your descriptions of everything.

I have 1001 Cookies by Gregg R Gillespie that I have used several times. It has some fairly good recipes, alphabetical and broken down into bar, formed, dropped, rolled, etc.

What a delightful blog. Thank you for taking the time. I really enjoyed the week in the PNW.

The very best potato salad I have ever consumed was made with small reds, chopped celery, green onions, Hellmann's, Dijon, sour cream, white wine, and blue cheese salt and pepper. Just typing this up is making me hungry!

If I had to choose only three, these would be my choices. 1. Mashed with lots of butter, cream salt and pepper 2. Red creamers with peas 3. Extra crispy homefries

Eggs chopped very fine, a little Dijon, Hellmann's, grated onion, finely chopped celery and a couple shakes of Penzeys Ozark seasoning on pumpernickel and I call it egg salad sandwich.

Randi, I sure have enjoyed reading about your hectic week. Your boundless energy has left me gasping for air as I am trying to vision myself doing what you have just accomplished! Thanks for taking the time share. The cake looks delicious, with all the fruit and custard but the veggies are what really caught my eye. My mouth is watering even though I just finished breakfast.

I would have to say the most embarrassing cookbook in my collection is Mickey's Gourmet Cookbook. It was a "gift" from a friend. She was sure I didn't have one in my collection. Right she was!

Randi, I am thoroughly enjoying your blog. You certainly have guts to be working the hours you are and doing a blog, it exhausts me just thinking about it.

Thanks, Peter. I really enjoyed this blog.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Jennifer!

Wonderful blog, Peter. Ahh, fiddleheads, grew up in Vermont and couldn't wait for the spring to arrive so I could get my fill!

I have found that M30 takes out all stains, grease, grass, chocolate, blood, etc. out of just about any fabric. I can find it in the local $store and some times in the grocery.

Yunnermeier, the street market photos are wonderful. Everything looks so delightful and plentiful. I am really enjoying this blog! The layered cake looks amazing. I hope you will be sharing the recipe.

What a wonderful blog so far, Yunnermeier! The food looks wonderful and so colorful. I, too, know nothing of Malaysia so this is going to be a great learning experience.

What inspiration I find here! Dinner last night, sea scallops with cilantro gremolata and ginger lime beurre blanch and spaghetti aglio e olio.

Thanks for the wonderful blog, Klary! It was fun anticipating what you would be cooking each day and loved "visiting" all the places you take for granted.

I remember my parents having one of those brandy bottles with the ballerina, exactly like your photo! Wonder whatever happened to it.

This may help you decide if the clay tagine is worth the extra trouble or not. I have a rifi, use it often and love it. http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showto...502&hl=moroccan Moroccan tagine cooking

No fancy pictures here; dinner was sauteed sole, blue cheese potato salad, peas and blackberry cobbler.
