Williams-Sonoma Profit Down 90%
I want to stand up for Williams-Sonoma. I'm sorry they're having a hard time and hope things pick up for them quickly.
First, Chuck Williams is an amazing guy, a real hero for home cooks. Much of today's kitchen/home retailing world owes a hat-tip to Williams-Sonoma.
Also, keep in mind Williams-Sonoma sells items premium items. It might be the expectations of some shoppers, rather than Williams-Sonoma's prices, that are "totally out of line."
I appreciate them for doing what they do well: offering a carefully culled line of premium cooks tools. The people who work in their stores usually love cooking and are well trained in how the products can be used.
Their very high-quality dish towels and table runners are my hands-down favorites (and if you insist on a deal, watch the back of the store: they always go on sale at the end of the season).
I've been watching W-S carefully since the recession to see how they would respond to the changes in the economy. For those hunting for lower price points, it looks to me like they are starting to offer less expensive items, more plastic tools.
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: D'Artagnan Heritage Smoked Ham
I love an open faced ham sammy with some whole grain mustard and a fried egg.

I tried this last night with some cabbage I bought on sale around St. Patrick's Day. I love the concept of cardamon and coriander with apples and slow cooked cabbage. Unfortunately, this recipe came out way to sweet for me, and I even used apple juice without added sugar. I love cabbage and want to keep playing with this recipe, finding something a bit more savory.
