The Worst Thing I Ever Found in My Food
Not terrible, but I used to work at a sandwich/cheese shop in Williamsburg, VA and we'd always get kicks when we found snails in the watercress. One accidently made it into a sandwich, bad news bears...
Sweet Techniques: How to Make Spritz Cookies
I love spritz cookies! my grandmother used to make them, but sadly she can't anymore.
Does anyone have any cookie press recommendations? I had a plastic one, but it broke in the first use. I really want a metal one like my grandmother had, but they're difficult to come across.

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage, Chicken, and Steaks
Pierce's Pitt in Williamsburg VA (though Dinosaur is a close second!)
Christmas Tree Bread
This looks awesome. Think I could throw in some cinnamon & sugar and give it a little soemthin' somethin'? or even add garlic?
What should I include in my Wedding Registry?
We just did our registry like a week or two ago-- I already have a Kitchenaid, but if you don't I definitely would go for it. If you already do, register for the attachments (I want that pasta roller! haha). We also did a lot of plates, dishes and what not.
I'm a huge baker so I definitely did the SilPat, new nicer cookie sheets, cake pans, bundt pan, tart pans, food processor, french rolling pin on ours.
We didn't register for the All-Clad or Calphalon, because most of our family members are blue-collar honkys (truth, but we love 'em anyways!) and figured it would be way out of their range anyways and there was no point in registering for something no one could afford and that we'd like to treat ourselves to in a few years anyways. We found a copper-bottomed Emeril Lagasse set (ew, I know, but it was the copper bottom that did it) at Macy's, and we also did the Le Creuset dutch oven and bakeware in case anyone could spring for it. Those were the most expensive things on there.
I would look at your living situation-- we chose to do kitchen items, no linens and decor things because we'll be moving in the next year or so and we'd rather wait until we have a more permanent residence before picking our decor theme.
You mentioned your kitchen is large for a city, but if you move and get a smaller kitchen, it'll make you re-think having all those appliances/kitchen goodies.
What did you eat this week?
Well, I finally did the dishes yesterday after not having done them since Monday. The only things in the sink were coffee mugs and spoons.
Ahh, finals week. I think I might've had a few bananas and handfuls of pretzels in there...
Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Korin Knife
