Renegade Craft Fair Redux
By Sarah McColl, Pink of Perfection, on Tue Jun 17, 2008 9:53am PDTAs we were standing in the mean June sun, Sebastian (who took all these pictures) asked why in god's name the Renegade is always held on the brutalest of summer days. I should have knocked on wood as I said, a know-it-all to the end, that it's the one time of year when it's guaranteed... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (1) | Blog

What do you cook when you're so tired cooking?
By Sarah McColl, Pink of Perfection, on Thu Jun 12, 2008 11:55am PDTI'm in a funk. A not-wanting-to-cook funk, and the heat and humidity ain't helping. This dinner of roast chicken breasts, chickpeas, tomatoes, and paprika was really, really good, full of big bold flavors that made heavenly sandwiches the next day. But I can't say when I will next turn... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (5) | Blog

6 great Etsy stores for vintage kitchen goods
By Sarah McColl, Pink of Perfection, on Mon May 19, 2008 2:58pm PDT
There was a time, oh so many years ago, when I could truly find vintage gems for a song on ebay. This, I fear, is not so much the case anymore, thanks to something called a free market economy. As the vintage treasures dwindle, the amount of crapola also rises, leaving one feeling as if she is crossing a desert of trash, constantly deceived by mirages.
But then there is etsy, with its nice design and clean interface, and the edited, curated selections of a few vintage sellers who can be depended on. Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (3) | Blog

Mother's Day Potato and Leek Gratin
By Sarah McColl, Pink of Perfection, on Thu May 8, 2008 11:27am PDTTo be totally honest, I didn't want to go to my mom's book club. It wasn't that I didn't think it would be fun, or that I don't like tagging along with my mother on her social calls. It was just that it was Friday night, I had been sitting at my desk all day, only to then wedge... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (3) | Blog

Perma-spring: Cherry blossoms that are always in bloom
By Sarah McColl, Pink of Perfection, on Tue May 6, 2008 7:51am PDT
[Ed. note: If you were charmed by our "easy, long-lasting flower arrangement you don't need any skills to pull off" post—or you just missed the boat on the cherry blossoms in your area—you'll most likely flip for this even longer-lasting version from the ladies at Pink of Perfection.]
I've been burned too many times by sneaky deli tulips. They look as though they're on the cusp of unfurling--and I think to myself: "What great timing, to buy them so young!" And yet, they stay small buds for two days until I bump into them, at which point they dissolve like a mandala sand painting set in front of a fan. Then I have to circle back to the inevitable: What kind of fool confuses a deli that sells Duraflame logs and Arizona Iced Tea for a farm-fresh importer of tulips?

Tequila for grown-ups: The Paloma cocktail
By Sarah McColl, Pink of Perfection, on Mon May 5, 2008 9:43am PDT
I must be getting old, because I can't drink margaritas the way I used to. A little like my once beloved Samoas,
the fluorescent green frozen concoctions just seem too sweet to me now,
and the sugar gives me a headache. But you know how I feel about Mexican food, and when you're eating... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (2) | Blog
