Hidy ho! The Pot + Pantry website is finally up, and a brand spanking new blog along with it! Only blog posts from December have been transferred, so older posts will continue to live on Blogspot. Visit http://potandpantry.com/blog/ for my newest posts (remember to add this to your readers!). :)

another update

INNA jam has landed at Pot + Pantry!

For now, we have King Kong Plumcot, Plenty Spicy Jalapeno and Polka Raspberry. Bright, fruity, and so real. I love when jam tastes real, if that makes sense.

Dafna of INNA jam is also going to be teaching a class at CUESA in February on preserving meyer lemons that I'd love to take. I encourage you to enroll as well! Get more details here.

Pot + Pantry now carries Sightglass coffee beans.

They may very well change your life. Come and get it!

the gift guide that never was

I was planning to post more gift guides (i.e. gifts for the Mexican food lover, the baker, the sweet tooth, etc), but this week I've kind of gotten swept up in, you know, work. So instead, I shall point you in the direction of this lovely gift guide on Poppytalk. It's got all sorts of goodies I would have recommended myself, but didn't. Like this:


And these:

See what I mean?

{Times like this I wish there were a word that accurately captured the sound of cat-calling. Maybe one of those onomatopoeic things. Because I'm cat-calling the heck out of those teapots.}

But although I haven't had time to make a gift guide for the various food lovers in your lives, I did make time to create a gift guide for my husband. About what to get me. :D There is but one item in that guide, and one item only:


The Tell Tale Society bag. Fingers crossed!

Come to mama.

everybody's doing it

Seems like everyone is putting out a gift guide this year, so I figured why not join in on the fun?

For my first gift guide (ever!), I've gone with an Asian-y thing, for your favorite Asian food-loving friend, or just your Asian friend, period.

1. Artisan-Made Kishibori Shoyu ($14), found via Heidi at 101 Cookbooks, because fine Asian cuisine deserves better than Kikkoman.

2. Organic Mermaid Print Napkins ($24 for 2) by Katherine J Lee (a Pot + Pantry vendor, yea!), perfect for dabbing the corners of your mouth after eating Kishibori Shoyu-dipped sashimi.

3. Mother in Law's Napa Cabbage Kimchi ($20 for 2 jars) because anyone who likes kimchi is a friend of mine.

4. ChabaTree Chopstick Set with Cat-shaped Rests ($26 at Pot + Pantry, in-store only) because they are just so dang cute!

Some phone snaps of my DIY wreaths for the window...

I do love me some plaid.

Just got in some more bakeware, cooks' tools and linens! But no pictures of those, since they don't photograph as pretty. :)
