Your radishes are beautiful as is your kitchen! How fun to see where people cook! I believe the kitchen is the belly of the house (both literally! and figuratively!).

Todd, Diane…

Thanks so much for sharing your fab kitchen with us via Jen’s blog.

A favor to ask, would you either post or email me a pic of your upper cabinet/countertop that houses your always-plugged-in blender and Cuisinart?

I’m in the process of planning my dream kitchen and always thought that I would like to have electrical outlets in my upper cabinets but wondered how I would deal with cord management, etc.

Love your blog. Gorgeous pics!

Thanks in advance!

Your garden is just awesome, and those blood oranges in the picture on Jen’s site are the most perfectly beautiful ones I have ever seen. They made me think of hopping into a plane, flying over and begging for a bag full of those beauties!

Greetings,
Tiina

Karen – Thanks. Good luck in your remodel. I can be a cranky, stressful endeavor, but totally worth it in the end. To answer your question, it isn’t too bad to keep clean. It mostly gets grimy on the top side, but the glass windexes clean easily with newspaper. We usually clean it about once a month, unless we are entertaining a lot, then we clean it about every two weeks to keep it looking pretty. The stainless steel gets cleaned maybe every other month with satin shine.

Cynthia – Yeah.

Thanks for visiting everyone. We have been a bit behind but there will be a new post going up soon. We’ve been working on a video and it’s taking forever! In the mean time, GO VISIT JEN YU at UseRealButter.com!!!! She’s the sweetest and the best! We love Yu! Todd.

I LOVED seeing your kitchen on Jen’s blog. Very inspiring as I am just embarking on a kitchen remodel. One question, is it hard to keep that gorgeous glass hood clean? I’d worry it would get greased up. What do you do to keep it clean? Thanks.

Gastronomer – Thanks. We nearly almost f’d up the coding trying to implement the rotating header, it looks like we got lucky again.

Carol – Thank you! You’re such a sweetie. Love ya!

Rachael – 1. I made this 3 times while Diane was in the Bahamas. It’s that gooood! 2. Thanks. We feel very lucky to have it, but being in Japan must be pretty cool too. It has it’s own great rewards!

we are never full – 20lbs of pork belly! That is AWESOME!!!! Are the Italian arugula plants you have much different than those you buy at the markets. Our seeds (I don’t remember any specifications) tend to give leaves that are much less harsh, yet nicely full flavored. I wonder if yours are even better yet!

Food Woolf – We just keep trying to learn from both our successes and our failures. You’re too kind. Love ya, Brookie

Amy – Welcome to blogger world! Thanks. The fish were from the market in DaNang, Vietnam. I have a whole new appreciation for fish after going to Vietnam.

Thanks for visiting everyone. I’m not sure if I mentioned this already but make sure you visiting the lovely, the talented, the funny, and the mad skilled woman Jen Yu at UseRealButter.com. Can you tell we love her? Todd.

You are such amazing people, with such incredible talents. How do you do it all? Your garden is AMAZING and makes someone like me without a back yard to play with jealous…but somehow I think if I had all the space you have I could never even come close to what you two can do with your beautiful, talented hands.

loves,
