Avocado Toast with Poached Egg: The Meaning of Silence

April 23rd, 2012

Some of the most profound moments in our lives are, in fact, defined by silence. Sometimes there is silence because time is needed. Sometimes there is silence because the meaning of words is too complex, either because the emotions associated with them are happy or sad. Sometimes there is silence because there is nothing more [...]

Guest Post: Kanelbullar, Swedish Cinnamon Rolls, Plus A Swedish Playlist

April 21st, 2012

Anna has been a lovely reader of Turntable Kitchen for some time, so when she came to us suggesting she pull together a special playlist and recipe for Swedish Cinnamon Rolls, we were smitten with the idea. We hope you enjoy a special Saturday treat in the form of Kanelbullar, and some Swedish tunes to [...]

Quiet Times: Clams with Mirin, Lime and Cucumber

April 18th, 2012

There are three types of quiet time, when it seems that the world is able to stand still. It’s early, and I mean early in the morning. When the sun has barely risen and most of the nighttime revelers have just gone to bed. I am able to stroll up to the front of the [...]

Habit-Forming: Spiced Whole Grain Chocolate Cake with Salted Chocolate Frosting

April 11th, 2012

A few weeks ago, I was listening to NPR in my car, as I often do. In between world news and the circus that is a presidential election year, came a refreshing story about forming habits. I learn about all sorts of things on NPR, and this day was no exception. The talk was about [...]

A Small Request…

April 6th, 2012

Photo credit: The lovely Stephanie Hua of rockin’ blog Lick My Spoon. I couldn’t be more excited about our upcoming trip to Sicily. I love when nighttime reading is a travel guide. I can go to sleep thinking about all of the places I’ll see, the tasty food I’ll eat, the photos I’ll take, and [...]

Lavender Latte: Wake Me Up

April 4th, 2012

Before I met Matt, coffee was just coffee. I could certainly distinguish bad coffee (what my parents call ‘from the barrel’) from very good coffee, but I never really made the effort to seek it out. When I remembered to drink coffee — usually sometime mid-afternoon — it would be with plenty of sugar and [...]

Dutch Baby with Caramelized Vanilla Bean Pears: Moving Through the Decades

April 2nd, 2012

My hair stylist told me the other day that the mullet is coming back. I’m not sure how to feel about this, but if the mullet means scrunchies, neon colors and leggings, I could be ok with it. Since the turn of the century (how crazy does that sound?!) we’ve gone through the 70′s hipster [...]

Stylish in the Kitchen: Market Totes

March 30th, 2012

1|2|3|4 Spring is my absolute favorite time of year. The market starts to come back to life with the arrival of peas, asparagus, strawberries, and artichokes. I’m lucky enough to live right around the corner from a little farmer’s market that sets up shop every Sunday. It’s the best way to start the day. I [...]
