This week’s favorites in no particular order

• I’m game for any recipe that includes cashews and cardamom, even if I’ve never heard of it before.
• There’s just something so special about homes full of cats and woodstoves, when the world outside is white and chilly.  I can’t resist falling in love with those homes or those cats.
• Simple Food Makes Happy Tummies, have truer words ever been spoken?
• In light of yesterday’s frugal feasting post, I think its a good idea to remember that we shouldn’t “try to eat like kings on a peasant’s budget.”
• We like to buy and eat whole chickens around here and I’m pretty good at getting a lot of meals from a single bird and always save the bones for stock, but the Sunday Chicken post gave me a whole slew of new ideas.
