Here is a behind the scenes tour of what I am working on to get my kitchen ready for company and my pantry and fridge ready for my Costco trip tomorrow.

(I skipped all the boring parts like bed making, vacuuming, dusting and bathroom cleaning! I also didn’t show the garage fridge chock full of wine, beer, sparkling wine and sodas!) 

What projects are you working on today around your home and kitchen?

    Time for another “what cookbooks are currently bei Time for another “what cookbooks are currently being displayed at my local @barnesandnoble ?” in my suburban strip mall near Seattle post. Pics taken in late June 2026. 

I left empty handed since I already own most of these cookbooks (many gifted to me by publishers) and the store hadn’t made a display of newer cookbooks that came out in the last 3 weeks-ish. 

Thought you might enjoy zooming in to see if your favorites are faced out (or to see your own cookbook, if you are an author!)

    In May 2024, Kaiti and I embarked on an experiment In May 2024, Kaiti and I embarked on an experimental project: We bought ALL the ingredients you would need if you wished to cook ALL the recipes in “Milk Street: Tuesday Night Mediterranean” by @cpkimball (Voracious, April 2021) 

Many of you are new to following us since then so you missed our original video about this project. Thought it would be fun to repost it! 

Kaiti spent a couple afternoons working in a spreadsheet, counting up ingredients and creating our grocery shopping list. (In May 2026 this task takes me about 30 minutes with ChatGPT as I upload page images to it for processing) 

We then shopped for the food, mostly at Fred Meyer and Whole Foods near suburban Seattle. It took about three grocery carts and my Subaru SUV was FULL! 

I lost my original receipts but I recall our grocery bill was around $1400. 

I had to go on vacation soon after, and couldn’t actually immediately cook very many of the recipes. 

Next we split up the groceries we wanted for my house and Kaiti’s house (I’m vegetarian so she got most of the meat, and she is gluten free so I got most of the pasta). We then quickly donated the rest of the food to the food pantry I volunteer at (it luckily has refrigerators and freezers!) 

This was a fun and interesting cookbook shopping experiment and I am glad for the knowledge we gained and the opportunity to help our community!
