Food
I'm obsessed with pickled celery. It's all due to Smitten Kitchen's recipe for fingerlings vinaigrette with sieved eggs and pickled celery in her new cookbook. It is what potato salad aspires to be. But pickled celery is also great in egg salad, on sandwiches, or straight out of the jar. I absolutely cannot recommend that like me, you eat the entire jar in one day, and then reuse the vinegar pickling goodness for quick-pickling thin cucumber slices. It probably breaks a thousand food safety rules. But if you were to ignore me and do it anyway, your cucumber slices would pick up the celery essence and taste like a party in your mouth.

I will be sad if USPS stops delivering on Saturdays (although I'm fully in support of the idea), because I too really like checking the mailbox.

One of the very few downfalls of becoming a parent is that everything rips at your heartstrings. You're always thinking about situations through a new lens. Every time you turn on the nightly news, listen to a human interest story on the radio, hear a touching song....or read a story about elephants. Slaughter of the African elephants. via Sassy Radish

love these posts :)
Aw thanks Kat!
I can't get the link about the cookbook to work (under the pickled celery). Am I doing something wrong?
Pickled celery sounds good, but celery is very expensive in Japan...99 to 199 yen (about $1-2) per stalk. :-(
No you're not Helen, the link was wrong! My apologies!
Ah yes, one of the things I've already forgotten from my time in Japan. Perhaps for a special occasion (it really is so so good)?
