I would have to say chopsticks! So simple, and so many uses.

Don't toss it! There are tons of uses: mix with vinegar and baking soda to clean wood cutting boards and the kitchen sink. Soak tips of finger nails to remove the last bits of nail polish after using nail polish remover. probably other uses, just can't think of any at the moment...

For Napa the city, I second Ubuntu or ZuZu, a really great tapas restaurant.

If you want to head out a bit, Redd in Yountville is good and casual dinner spot. It's also very reasonably priced compared to other restaurants nearby (ie French Laundry etc).

A really sweet story :) Thanks for sharing

First meal of the year was a steaming bowl of pho :)

i've had avocado ice cream and it is delicious!!

on the spain/france border i stopped at a gelato place and tried their roquefort gelato. it was not a pleasant experience. however, you never know your own tastes, so i would say buy it and invite some people over to try it. good luck! :)

I literally laughed out loud from reading the wild berries section. You are the best.

For a real snowed in show day, pho! Takes all day (and many days) to make the broth but the end result is awesome and soothing.

What kind of dog is Hambone? He is so cute!
