Show it Off!

April 16, 2009 by Vanessa

Yesterday was beautiful here in Winnipeg, so of course I spent the morning cleaning off my patio/wiping down furniture. The result was a very bare looking space (I can’t wait to get some flowers out) and a very inviting bistro chair. I ended up making this super yummy supper and settling down outside to enjoy the sun:

Grilled (broiled?) Cheese (Ched + Feta), Fresh Green Beans/Mushrooms tossed with butter and parsley

Lucas and I split a Half Pints Bulldog Amber – one of my favorite beers from my favorite brewery! Love it.

You might notice that those are, in fact, sushi dishes. I like to use sushi dishes for pretty much everything because they are the perfect size…no matter what you put on them, it always looks like you’re eating a LOT. Besides, they are pretty and I love them. J

So I have an idea. I think it’s a good one. I need a little input though!

I would love to coordinate a Kitchen Show-Off Day. As in a day where either a) Participants write a blog (with pictures!) about your kitchen, what you like about it, and how you overcome the things you don’t like so much or b) Participants can send me a picture of and tidbit about your kitchen and I’ll post them all here.

The Internet is plastered with food blogs. Wouldn’t it be nice to see the workspace behind some of the meals posted there?

So what do you say? Shall we have Kitchen Show-Off Day sometime this month? If so, would you prefer to do your own post (and let me know so I can link), or send me pics to post here?

I love fun dishes and I don’t see why you can’t use them for whatever the hell you want ;0)

I’d love to participate in kitchen day and I’m up for doing it either way, providing the pictures or posting the pictures on my own blog, although thinking about it a little more it might be easier for you to link to everyone, otherwise it could get wordy and long on your own blog, but if you don’t care about that part, I certaintly don’t and it would be nice to see it all collected in one spot.. wow that was wishy washy ;0)

Good Idea

I think having us post our own and then linking would make things a lot easier on you.

I think a kitchen show-off day would be funnn! Whatever way is best would work for me. It would be cool to have all the different kitchen pics on one blog post tho…

I could show off my kitchen too I guess … although I’d have to clean my fridge! Great excuse to do it though…
