winemakerswife

I am the only wine drinker I know so when I open a bottle I am stuck with it for several days. I want to make sure it's a good one! I'd really like to learn more about wine and have taken a course, but it's very slow going. ←

*LOVING* your blog Smallworld, absolutely loving it because it is so very different from my life. And (standing and placing my right hand over my heart, and my left hand in the air, and using my very very BEST Scarlett O'Hara voice......)...."As God is mah witness, I'll never complain about mah small kitchen again !!!" I am in awe of the meals you prepare in that space. Absolutely in awe. ESPECIALLY without an OVEN fercryin'outloud !! ← Seriously. Yes. I'll never complain again about mine.

Amy, I am a long time fan of your blog Blue Lotus, and your posts thus far on eGullet are so inspiring! My best friend lives in Tokyo, and I visit often, but I get to relive my joys of discovery of Japan through yoru blog. Your posting about how you do your shopping are just as interesting as the cooking that you do. Your shoppign list note book is very cool, do you save eahc of your shopping lists in it? Tell me more about the other information you keep in it, I know you mentioned a wine list of some sort. (My husband is a wine maker in California.) Thank you for sharing so much of your time this week! p.s. i love greek yogurt with honey, my favorite breakfast. p.p.s. I bought a few sashimi knives in Tokyo last July, I bought mine got mine from a small kinfe store is Asakusa selling Masamoto brand, My husband prefered the Tokyo Hands store. He bought a cheaper version of my knife, and really... it's just as good for amatuer cooks like us.
