This week I took a look around my kitchen (probably the place I spend most of my time) and photographed some things I love and am grateful for...
Our wee alphabet cutters are so cute.
I'm in love with my red thermos jug ($6 Red Cross find) which keeps a litre of water hot all day for cups of tea.
The salt pig given to me by a friend who had two, and the wee wooden spoon from an op shop.
The lentil sprouts on the bench, so quick and delicious.

I really like using our new water filter jug and the sturdy Agee jars the boys drink from. Visiting kids often think it's a bit weird to drink from a jar. I picked up a whole heap of them at a market once and it reminds me of drinking hot chocolate at Java cafe when we were teenagers. I don't know if Java survived the quake.
Most of all I love my sous chefs, here one is making sushi vinegar, using a cute spoon from NanaRobyn. If you make your own sushi please don't use that ready made sushi vinegar, it has high fructose corn syrup in it which is really bad for you. The recipe we use is really easy. For 2 cups of uncooked sushi rice (I cook that part in my rice cooker) you'll need...
1 1/2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 1/2 Tbsp castor sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Heat in a saucepan over a low heat till sugar dissolves. Do not microwave, trust me it doesn't work. Mix into warm rice and cool before making your sushi.
If you want your own heart spoons you can get them here.

Meg I have Jars I would drink my iced coffees from. I too got the idea from Java Cafe. I wonder if we were ever there at the same time? Small world.
