Larger view here, alternate perspective here. A few weeks and $150 later, my once broken turntables are back home… as good as the day I bought them. Thanks Von! They look so happy setup in their homes… ready to be fondled @ any given moment. I’m so happy, I might rock [...]

I’m having a friend come over to dinner tonite while I test some new *simple n’ easy* vegetarian recipes for the demo kitchen. I don’t want to weird her out by taking pictures all over the place, so I posted a sticky with tonite’s menu. I don’t like showing my blogging fanaticism until [...]
