Melted peanut butter and pepitas.

I second the Bar Keeper's Friend. This stuff will keep your AC looking like new! And kudos on the svelte biceps you are about to build up...the copper core is heavy!

Orangette's braised cabbage!!

I second the nod to New Paltz, especially The Bakery and Main Street Bistro.

My husband and I watched this Friday night and laughed so hard, we almost fell out of bed! The Soup rules!!!

Humboldt Fog!!!!!!!!!!!

Strawberries with a balsamic reduction. Yummmmmmm

Wustoff paring, chef and bread knife
Le Creuset dutch oven
Microplane grater
Good wooden spoons
Sturdy but pretty serving bowls
