radiator humidifier

According to my iPhone, it's going to snow tonight and tomorrow in New York City.  It's certainly been cold enough around here.  Our landlord has cranked up the heat accordingly, which I'm grateful for, except when it comes to dry sinuses and skin each morning.  I whipped up this radiator humidifier this evening out of an old rum (?) bottle and some cotton yarn, which I crocheted freeform around the glass.  I'm kind of in love with the way it looks, cobwebby and imperfect like a Rodarte gown.  I'm making another for the bedroom radiator out of a green Jameson bottle and probably a finer golden yellow cotton I have lying around.

a revelation

watermelon rinds, quickly blanched, then sprinkled with sea salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, freshly cut chives, minced garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, a splash of soy sauce, and a splash of apple cider vinegar, then left to stew in its juices for a week = the best kimchi I've ever had.

i used to enjoy making people balk by saying that watermelon was the only food i didn't like, but now i'll have to change that.

pizza night

Inspired by a section of the book I (and, it seems, everyone else in the world) am reading,

I made pizza on Friday night using some pantry and freezer basics, and CSA vegetables that NEEDED to be used (a giant baby bok choy, flat leaf parsley and chives).

It turned out delicious!  I love a deep dishy pizza crust that's chewy and bready,

but my other prefers a thin, crackery crust.  

Any suggestions for a good thin crust recipe?  I'll try that next!

Kitchen Productivity

I tested my Spicy Garlic Soy beans tonight, and while I don't mean to toot my own horn:
THEY
ARE
RAD.

Also, I made my first beef stew over the weekend while I was wishing for fall to hurry up and get here.
