Is there any kitchen area more prone to neglect than the area under the sink? Well, perhaps the junk drawer, but since I conquered that last week, it was time to tackle the towering mess of cleaners, sponges, brushes, and bottles that had taken up residence in my sink cabinet.
I really don’t know how it got like this. I swear, I think everything just showed up one day, like squatters. Sponge squatters! Dish soap interlopers! They were living under my sink, and it was time to clean house. Here’s how I imposed order.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, there’s a new way to get your chocolate fix. A chocolatier in Belgium has developed a device that allows chocoholics to snort single origin cocoa powder. Adventurous chocolate lovers can choose between cocoa powder that is mixed with either ginger or raspberry as well.
The most romantic thing you can do on Valentine’s Day is make a meal for the person you love. Cancel your reservation at that fancy, overcrowded restaurant and put on an apron. Valentine’s Day is an excuse, really, to bust out a few of the special occasion recipes you’ve been wanting to try.

But the one undeniably wonderful thing about the endless frosty days is the nostalgia it brings. The memories of warming up over a snack — hard earned after a long day sledding (or just some heavy-duty reading in PJs) — gives you a way to escape the claustrophobia and find some inspiration in the kitchen.
And for us, there’s just one way to do this: Grown-up tater tots with hot cocoa and homemade marshmallows.
