I know it might seem early to some, but I'm already thinking about my holiday gifts. This year I've decided to stay with a theme that I call 'A Cookbook and …' which means that all my gift recipients will get a cookbook plus a little something extra that relates to that book.

I'm honored to be a guest at The Kitchn. I've gleaned so much useful information over the years from The Kitchn, Apartment Therapy: Chicago, and the rest of the sites, and from their friendly and intelligent community of followers. I could name many instances when, because of the sites, I've learned something useful or bought this or that to make my house more pleasant and organized. I'd even say that my life has become a little more enjoyable from the non-material things that I've absorbed from their ideas and feedback. More
