| In keeping with the theme I began two weeks ago, when we looked at Mitchell and Kerri‘s kitchen and its contents, this week, let’s take a look at Daniel and Val‘s kitchen. For those of you too lazy to follow the links, Daniel is ShapeShifter‘s drummer and Val, his long-time girlfriend who trained as a chef but quit the restaurant business when it got too much.
Look for a new outtake featuring Daniel, Val, and their kitchen over the weekend. And for you meme lovers, another one I’ll let the band answer. 1. A sourdough starter 2. a windowsill herb garden (that overflows onto the patio, in ever-expanding pots) 3. A wide variety of teas 4. Phone numbers for three butchers 5. ten kinds of chocolate and/or cocoa, not counting hidden candy bars 6. A variety of wines, ports, and other highbrow alcoholic delicacies that you wouldn’t expect a rock star to know a thing about. Mostly, he doesn’t. Val, however, does. She’s not a rock star, so your expectation here was met perfectly. 7. Locally produced clover honey 8. chick peas, tahini, lemons (for juicing), and garlic 9. Phone numbers and schedules for the local CSA 10. Ping’s Soy Sauce. Lots of it. 11. Bodacious Sauce. Not quite as much of it. 12. organic cranberry granola bars (Daniel’s favorites. Eric‘s too, come to think about it) 13. One of those undercounter TVs that’s hooked up to the cable in case Daniel starts to go through CNN withdrawal. And because the voting’s not closed yet…
Yes, I’m totally going to torture you with this until the voting closes on May 22. So go vote, will ya? If you’ve already voted, why not register under another e-mail address? You’ll get to vote again that way! |
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

3 butchers? Why 3?BR/And what exactly is in that herb window box 😉
Susan Helene Gottfried
May 16, 2007 7:46 pm
Three because they specialize in different sorts of meat. And because three is better than one.BR/BR/Dew, ten kinds of chocolate?? Really? I’m on my way over!

A very organic and healthy kitchen. I have some of those myself. Although the healthy stuff in my kitchen gets cancelled out by the chips, beer and cheese. Everyone needs some junk in their life 🙂

Susan Helene Gottfried
May 17, 2007 12:53 pm
Just a note to Laurie Greene — I can’t recall mentioning IBS, but if I have, it’s because my cat’s got it (except in cats, it’s called IBD), and there’s no way I’m giving a thirteen-year-old cat ANYthing that my vet hasn’t approved first.BR/BR/Thanks, though. Maybe someone in my comment trail here would be interested?
