Haven't been to the Louisiana State Fair since I was a child, who knew they had all this good food there!

Fruit. I love varying fruit when it comes into season. From apples in the fall/winter to the first strawberries in early spring, to watermelons and peaches. Fruit is definitely seasonal.

For the first time ever, I'm growing lettuce right outside my kitchen door.

a great salad can be so easy and so different

I'm so done with melons and ready for crisp apples.

I like quinoa crepes.

Strawn's Strawberry pie

the cuisinart mini-prep food processor, when you don't need to chop a whole lot.

I love the pictures and the insights at French Letters.

I have a first gen kindle and love it. And speaking of textbooks, I am in school as well and forgot to buy one of the books for my class, and it wasn't available in a bookstore and I was going to be traveling that weekend, lo and behold, I could buy the book on my kindle. The only bad part about it was that it was still textbook priced, so rather than the $9.99 price for most books, It was about $40. Still cheaper though than buying the actual book.

I have also found that using the kindle in such a manner as trying to quote from it, is a little challenging. It's hard to page through a book on kindle.

I also can't imagine using it took cook with. I'm just too messy. I'd be afraid I'd spill something on it and kill it. I downloaded the CI and just can't see myself using it unless I was making something very specific.

But all in all, I love it. I love having 5-7 books at a time waiting to be read. I love being able to shop the kindle store while on an airplane waiting at the gate and buying a book instantaneously. I love that I'm not limited to John Grisham novels.

That no-knead bread that was all the rage last year (is it still all the rage?) Failure. hard, gooey, too wet, too dry, whatever, I failed.
