Have a cookie. Never mind the fat-free sugar-free taste-free variety… this box of treats from Mrs Fields is the real deal. We’re talking either 12 or 24 (your choice) standard sized cookies, or 48 or 96 pieces of “Nibblers” bite-sized cookies.

This gorgeous box was put together for Father’s Day, but I think it’s a good gift anytime. Box measures 8 1⁄2″W x 8 1⁄2″D x 4″H and is available from Mrs Fields.

My kitchen, a corner of which is pictured here, is warm and inviting and bold: its walls are painted cherry red, its cabinets are black, and its “island” is actually a repurposed pedestal table. It’s been this way since we moved in a little more than two years ago. I loved it then, and I still love it, but that doesn’t stop me from swooning over beautiful kitchens whenever I see them.

Which is why, when Green Tea Design asked me to review their kitchen cabinet collection, I accepted cheerfully. And excitedly!

The first thing that struck me about these kitchen cabinets is that they’re Asian-inspired designs. How can a kitchen be Asian-inspired, and yet be modern and functional and everything a kitchen in the year 2007 should be?

Apparently it can. The key word here is “flexible”, and because you can stack or separate the modular units, mix and match the various designs, or have single modules custom-made, these pieces are wonderfully flexible.

Take, for example, the Dana Cupboard I am coveting (pictured here hanging above the Mizuna kitchen counter): An adaptation of a classic tea chest design, the cupboard features both open shelves and closed doors, and is available in a variety of sizes and colors and woods.

And speaking of woods: all Green Tea’s furniture is constructed using salvaged hard woods such as Elm and Gingko. By salvaged they mean they use large beams reclaimed from older structures such as country homes, barns and warehouses. And you thought the “Green” in their name was just for looks.

Check out Green Tea Design’s kitchen cabinetry- but only if you’re ready to fall in love. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Which is why this post on candy. When else but the holidays can you get away with all these?

First, my favorite discovery: The 1970s Retro Candy Gift Basket. We’re talking (take a deep breath now): Jaw Breakers, Classic Now & Laters, Razzles, Party Stix, Fun Gum Wax Lips, Pop Rocks, Wonka Tart N Tiny, Bubble Gum Cigars, Bubble Gum Cigarettes, Candy Cigarettes, Wonka Runts, Sweettarts, Lemon Heads, Cherry Heads, Apple Heads, Charms Sweet & Sour Pops, Necco Assorted Wafers, Reeds Root Beer Candy Rolls, Licorice Pipes, Zots, Sugar Daddy Pops, Double Bubble Gum, Boston Baked Beans and Atomic Fireball. That’s right, I said Razzles! $24.99 at Amazon.

Of course, if you want to be naughty but still good, there’s always YummyEarth’s Organic Lollipops, which uses gluten-free sugars, no chemicals or dyes, and real fruit extracts.

The lollipops come in these flavors: Pomegranate Pucker, Cheeky Lemon, Razzmatazz Berry, Orange Squeeze, Wet-Face Watermelon- and they really are good.

Then there’s the classic Lump o Coal: 5 ounces of Santa`s Lump of Coal black licorice candy chunks in an adorable gift box, for $9.90. Legend has it that naughty children got lumps of coal from St. Nick… so this might be perfect for the naughty person in your life!
