This week we visited Craig and Rebecca’s kitchen in Manhattan — a fun, happy kitchen designed for parties with friends and daily cooking with their two young children. We saw their smart baking station and the ingenious restaurant-inspired sink, not to mention a few of Craig’s favorite pickles.
Now there’s just one question left to ask: What’s cooking this weekend?
A Delicious 4-Ingredient Cocktail — Comment of the Day
Here’s an old comment, but a goodie, which came to my attention because a reader recently responded and said: “I just took a screen shot of this comment for reference because it sounds so good.” What is this delicious cocktail, you ask? It popped up in our thread on three-ingredient cocktails.

We’ve been taking peeks into a family kitchen in Manhattan — one of those dreamy spaces that happen when a homeowner is at last able to build the space they’ve dreamed of for years.

Sure, there’s nothing glamorous about carrying a watermelon, so to speak, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I rather enjoy many parts of being pregnant. For example, you get to wear elastic-waist pants all the time. Your hair gets really thick and shiny; I mean, sure, it doesn’t last but if this is as close as I’m going to get in my lifetime to my Pantene Moment, you’d better believe I’m going to revel in it. It’s so very wrong, but I even secretly enjoy the soft bigotry of low expectations as literally nothing I admit — that I’ve been only swimming two times a week instead of three recently, that if I cook dinner twice a week, it’s a triumph, etc. — is met with less than “Go you! That’s amazing!” I even delight in watching people’s expressions change to borderline-panic on the street as they realize this rather normal-looking woman approaching them is, in fact, colossal when viewed from the side.
That is, until the end. The final weeks are a little different, aren’t they? They are both too long and too short, erratic sleep, puffy feet, and can I admit that I dread standing in line at the grocery store because I know I won’t escape without having to converse with a stranger about the state of my midsection? I actually found myself debating the pros/cons of a grocery store run yesterday because of this, but fortunately, the need for cream cheese and graham crackers for cheesecake ice cream pie triumphed, as it always and forever should.
