Space Grill.

The Space Grill. Not as in aliens and UFOs, but as in multi-functional awesomeness.

“The unique, swing-out grill system comprises of two heavy-gauge stainless steel grills that height-adjust for different cooking temps. On the top grill, sit a serving dish, a saucepan or use as a back-up cooking or warming grill. The larger main grill swings out to enable quick fuel top-ups. Underneath the bowl is an integral ash collector and adjustable ventilation system. We also love the eco-friendly bamboo chopping board and built-in hooks for tools.”

First Blush.

Think of First Blush juices as a sort of wine of the grape juice world – including Merlot, Cabernet and Chardonnay varieties. Each varietal grape juice has a unique and dynamic concentration of flavors. All juices are 100% natural with no added sugar and no preservatives. Might be a nice option for a dinner party for those who prefer something a little less, ahem, alcoholic.

Happy Weekend.

After a week full of 70º days, we’re back to the usual 90-something degree weather that’s the usual suspect in Oklahoma for this time of year. The cooler weather was such a teaser for fall and, man oh man, am I ready!

Thanks for bearing with me through the lighter than usual posting this week. Some family issues came up (everyone is fine) that had to be dealt with, so I wasn’t strapped to my computer as usual. I promise next week will be back to normal with a few surprises along the way.

This Weekend:
• celebrate E’s birthday
• oil change (ugh)
• the movies with C
• make potato salad
• grocery shopping
• hang something on the bare walls of my house!
• watch the Olympic Closing Ceremonies (sigh)

Happy Weekend!

The Daily Eat: Lemon Pepper Potato Salad.

After all this talk of potato salad this week there’s no doubt in my mind that I’m going to have to make a batch this weekend. The front-runner? This Lemon Pepper Potato Salad. I’ve also noticed a lot of discussion of whether to boil or roast your potatoes pre-salad. I’ve always been a boiler, but think I’m going to give roasting a shot. Thoughts?

OKC Dinner and/or Book Club.

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how I want to meet more people and become involved in a few more activities. But I want it to be low-key things, and definitely things that I’m actually interested in.

And that’s where the idea of a Dinner and/or Book Club came from. I honestly don’t know how many Design Crush readers are from the OKC area, but of those of you who are is anyone interested in joining a small group that meets once a month to make an awesome meal or discuss a certain book? It could easily be two separate groups or maybe both combined into one evening. Drop me an email at designcrushing@gmail.com if you’re interested!
