Would Italian fontina work well in a grilled cheese? It melts well so I think it might. It’s nutty too; yum.

Amy- I should have known you’d have a pair! Perfect.

Aileen- Check out the link–this one’s on sale. Or keep an eye out at Fish’s Eddy; seems like they would have them occasionally.

Lindsey- It’s a very low-maintenance way for me to “have” a dog!

Mom- The salt is flaky for now. I held on to the screw-top container I’ve always used because in summer I know the salt would cake up really fast. I haven’t quite got the hang of it yet; my hand goes in at a different angle and I seem to drop salt more than I used to? We’ll see.

All these things do resonate fall. I love the salt pig; does the salt stay granular or get cakey? And that ring…I would love it in silver.

i am envious of your towel and your salt pig. the towel is so much more awesome than the mugs on brookish. and i’ve been salt pig hunting for a while now and am always offended by the cost of the ones i like.

this post made me happy.

Nicole, darling! I can always use molasses–try using it in milk as an alternative to chocolate syrup; that was my favorite as a kid and it’s packed with iron, as a bonus! I ended up roasting some of the shallots tonight, with delicata squash and cipollini onions and a bit of balsamic. Delicious. I don’t know how smeary they would have been because I wolfed them off my fork.

Gingerbread…do you need molasses? I still have 3 (yes 3!) jars left over from last year’s gingerman project, for which my estimation skills were a bit off.

I saw an old smitten kitchen recipe for roasted shallots recently that looked mighty good. Made me think of roasted garlic, and wondered if it too would be good smeared on bread.

Rachel- Smartness. It took me a long time to get there.

Paige- Both! Grilled cheese, then cinnamon-toast for dessert.

Brooke- You’re gross, but I’m laughing pretty hard. Have you landed safely on the East Coast?
