The Daily Eat: Pineapple Pie.

I thought everyone could probably use a warm weather ingredient for The Daily Eat this week, and nothing says it quite like pineapple. Without further ado, enjoy Pineapple Week!


Another moment of TMI: I’m not a meringue lover. I must have some sort of egg white allergy because it makes my tongue itch like no other! I’m fairly certain that I’d suffer through just this once to enjoy a big slice of Pineapple Pie with brown sugar meringue sitting atop it. Well, as long as whoever was with me didn’t mind me scratching my tongue on my teeth for the next hour or so…

The Daily Eat: Japanese Pizza.


Japanese pizza. Two words I’ve never once used in the same sentence until now. Also known as “okonomiyaki,” it’s a street food that ends up somewhere between a pizza and a frittata. Any topping is a go – this version showcases cabbage, toasted almonds and fresh chives.

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.

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.
