The QOOQ is a kitchen computer and it comes with 10 recipes from chefs on video, and you might as well know up front – currently it’s in French only. QOOQ also can connect to the internet over the Ethernet or Wifi, and you can even subscribe to monthly updates for more recipes on video. There is also a meal planner and a shopping list maker that will also help before the cooking. Oddly enought QOOQ doesn’t have an Internet Browser, but it can be used to update recipes, get weather information, internet radio stations, and can also be used as a digital picture frame.
Sounds perfect for our kitchen, though currently we’ve been enjoying our Squeezbox Radio. Also – it’s tough to make the transition to a device that stores recipes when all of our recipes are snipped from Cooking Light, and other magazines. Time will tell if the kitchen computer catches on, but if they can bridge the gap and get our offline recipes online – we’ll be a taker.

The results are in! Thank you for taking the survey! The topic of the kitchen floorplan survey was spur of the moment for me. I had just finished a marathon session designing my own kitchen (in a dreamlike state as it is at least a year or two off). Suddenly, grappling with issues and questions pertaining to a wide open (to the entire main floor) vs. a partially open floorplan, I thought it would be very interesting to hear what others thought…especially now. So, I put up a quick poll and noted it on Twitter.
 Now, we are in, what many think, is a different time, a kitchen “evolution”. Many of us are enjoying our homes in a renewed way. We’re cooking more, entertaining more, we’re together more, a mix of multi-generations coming together. We’re becoming reacquainted with our homes and finding great comfort there. I’d written about how the kitchen was changing in the past 2 years prior to the “Great Recession” but that event put this trend on the fast track. We want to be together more. Therefore, more activities are taking place in the kitchen. Yes, even more than we’ve previously read about over the [...]

Just a few little things…
PLEASE take this survey: Kitchen Floorplan: Open Or Closed? It’s seemingly a simple question, but the results are fascinating as the votes are coming in. I’ll share them with you shortly. Please cast your vote. It takes 10 seconds or less, and I’d love to know what you all want, or dream of, for your own kitchen design concept.
Please also go to my blogging buddy Renovation Therapy’s blog…that is, if you’d like to win an Itouch Ipod! Again, it’s fast, easy, and it could be yours! While you’re at it, read a few posts…she’s wickedly smart, insightful, funny, cool…not in that order, although the smart part is probably at the front of the line. I better quit while I’m ahead.
 Take a look at Natalie Blake’s wall art…in the form of handmade tiles. These are not just any tiles. They are sculptural in their form, sensuous, with curves everywhere. Unulun tile gets its name from the undulating form of the tile. Rich, strong, colors. Grouped together as wall art, its three dimensional perspective delights and attracts the eye. In other words, they are, to me, amazing. I first saw this [...]

Most of us have at least one- you know yours- the appliance you were sure you needed, used once or twice and relegated to the back of a closet. It disappeared into your home’s own appliance Bermuda Triangle.
Tamar Haspel who blogs at starvingofftheland.com writes about her’s and her mother’s appliance mis-purchases.
A Champion juicer is a big, heavy powerful appliance that reduces fruits and vegetables to their constituent parts: juice and sawdust.
A Champion juicer is not inexpensive. These days, they retail for a little over $200. Although other juicers cost less, other juicers do not have the power to juice the furniture.
When my mother got it, we tried it on everything but the furniture. I even wrote about it, in an article entitled, “How to Make the Most Mess with the Fewest Appliances.”
But it didn’t take. Before long, the Champion was relegated to the Closet of Appliance Mistakes, where it nestled up against the gelato maker. (First, of course, my mother offered it to me, but I’m not stupid enough to take a big, heavy appliance destined for the Closet.)
I’ve learned many things from my mother, and one of them should have been not to buy a [...]
