Show and Tell!

I don't normally blog about random products I find on the internet but I love this. I want it. So there. I found this on Kitchen Critic while researching snowflake designs.

Fred Calf and Half

An “udderly” adorable addition to your breakfast table, the Calf and Half Jug by Fred always gets a second look. The clever glass design looks like a traditional milk jug on the outside, but the interior glass wall is shaped like a cow’s udder. Much better than just pouring from the carton, the Calf and Half has a quirky modern style. The Jug holds 150mL of milk making it perfect for serving with after dinner coffees and is bound to start people talking. Available for pre-order now from Firebox, the Calf and Half Jug should arrive on the 28th of October..

Happy Birthday to me, happy birthday to me...
Thanks, Kate! It was chocolatey goodness.

Cooking

I got this cookbook (well... we did register for it!) at my bridal shower and in the last few weeks I've been trying it out. So far I love the recipes. It has a really good vegetarian chili that is easy, fast, and cheap. It's good for a couple of dinners! Also, I made a "Festive Pork Roast" on Monday. It was way too fancy for a regular Monday night, but I'll make it again for a special occasion. The pork turned out delicious and the marinade/sauce had lots of interesting flavors. I'm actually planning on making the chili again this week (I make it at my sister's house while watching Baby K and bring half of it home).


I got another yummy pork recipe from www.RealSimple.com. Definitely try it!

**Funny side note... the pork with roasted tomatoes called for "pounding" the meat to make it a certain thickness, and we didn't have a meat tenderizer... so I used a spatula. Didn't work so well b/c the meat wanted to slip from underneath it and shoot across the room! Haha... got the proper tool now!**
