List 31

Love: The All Clad slow cooker. There's nothing like coming home from work or a weekend day out Christmas shopping and having a warm supper waiting for you. These recipes for Beef Daube Provencal and Mediterranean Roast Turkey are some easy winter standards.

Like: Martha Stewart's melamine nesting bowls. I've had them for years and seem to use at least three of them every single day.

Discovery: Twist scrub brushes and sponges. Who knew these kitchen necessities could look so good, so not needing to be hidden away under the sink? (Bonus, they are also biodegradable.) I particularly like the Ravioli Scrubby.
Obsession: Laguiole steak knives from France. They're as good as it gets, and beautiful to boot, in a range of wood and horn-handled varieties.
Complaint: French Press is our coffee preparation method of choice, but we have the worst old tea kettle to heat the water up each morning. It invariably splatters everywhere when I pour the water into the pot. I have my eye on this cork-handled kettle from SFMMOMA's store as a welcome replacement.
