Kitchen Canvas.
I love so much about this kitchen. The white cabinets with glass fronts and the bin pulls on the drawers. The pops of color where you least expect it, like in the row of uppermost cabinets and the light fixture. And what I can only suspect are four mismatched chairs lined up around the simple wood-topped table.

The Daily Eat: Flammkeuche.
Flammkeuche – funny name, tasty pizza. Inspired by the version at Crust in Chicago that’s full of all the goodness carmelized onions, bacon and creme fraiche have to offer!

SuperHeadz Demekin Fisheye 110 Camera.
One thing missing from my camera arsenal is a fisheye lens. I know, I can hardly believe it myself! The thing with a fisheye is that there aren’t a ton of reasons to own a super pricey one (unless you’re a pro of course) and that’s what so attractive about SuperHeadz Demekin Fisheye 110 Camera. At $38 and 2 X 2 X 2″ it’s tough to pass up.
Rule number 1: making everyday things extra small also makes them extra cute. Rule number 2: photos automatically look a thousand times better with a fisheye lens. Seriously. Take a picture of your bedroom wall with a fisheye lens and boom! Art. Combine a tiny 110 camera design with a capable fisheye lens and you’ve got this Fisheye camera from Demekin – the smallest camera around, and the first 110 camera with a fisheye lens. Images come out soft, dreamy and slightly antiqued. Includes a hole at the bottom for a tripod; 1/100 shutter speed; f/8.9 wide angle aperture; 1:13.5 lens. Imported. Wipe clean.

A Year of Mornings.
I’m still lusting after A Year of Mornings: 3191 Miles Apart by Maria Alexandra Vettese (Mav) and Stephanie Congdon Barnes. If you’re not familiar, Mav and Stephanie are friends – not to mention fantastic photographers – who live 3191 miles apart in Portland, Oregon and Portland, Maine. Starting January 1, 2007 each posted a photo every morning. This book is the result. Their next adventure? A Year of Evenings, of course, which will be released this summer.

Weekly Menu Download.
I can hardly wait to print out a stack of weekly menu cards that a print a day is offering as a free download! If I don’t have things planned out grocery shopping turns into a nightmare really quickly these days.

On the Rocks: The Delicious Sour.
The Delicious Sour is a little more towards the fruity side of the cocktail spectrum than I generally like to venture, but the write up swears that the the apple and peach are nicely balanced by the lime. Sounds like a great springtime cocktail to me!
Ingredients:
– 2 oz applejack
– 2 oz créme de pêche
– 1 oz lime juice
– 1 bar-spoon sugar
– 1 egg white
Shake all ingredients hard with ice. Strain in to a tall glass and top-off with soda water. Garnish with an apple wheel.
