In my kitchen…
… are two adorable little mugs from my grandmother. They were freebies from Nestle, back when companies used to entice you to buy their products with promises of neat little things (provided you collect and mail in enough UPC codes). I remember drinking weak instant coffee out of these mugs when I was little. When Grammy offered them to me, I was thrilled to get them. Now when I am homesick, I drink out of them and remember good things from my childhood.
In my kitchen…
… is Baby Lurch, the new aloe vera plant. My friend Christine has the original Lurch, who apparently is trying to take over her home. I hope Baby Lurch is an enthusiastic grower too!
In my kitchen…
… is this adorable little swizzle stick. I bought it at an antique store years ago because it was so neat. I don’t really have a use for it so it will decorate Baby Lurch’s temporary cup home.
In my kitchen…
… is a gorgeous bowl of strawberries. I couldn’t resist them. They tasted as good as they looked.

Lovely things, Anna! I like the Nescafe cup, and wondered how international boundaries and states might have changed since it was made! Baby Lurch is very cute, as is your swizzle stick! Thanks for playing!
PS. Could you please link back to http://www.figjamandlimecordial.com so that your readers can see what’s happening in other kitchens this month? Thank you.
I am so sorry Celia. It seems every month I forget. Though I make no promises, I will try my best to remember next year. I love this series; it was an awesome idea!
I love that swizzle stick! I am drawn to objects like this that I really don’t have a use for or really a place for- but I just want to look at it! Lurch’s pot seems like a good place right now!
And the strawberries- I’ve been house bound for a while- I need to get some fresh fruit after looking at everyone’s bounty in their kitchens!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for visiting. I am sorry to hear you are housebound. That must be hard. I can’t imagine it. I hope someone brings you some fruit. Until then, I hope the blogosphere keeps you company. There are some pretty awesome people out here.
The swizzle stick is very cute and I love strawberries – beautiful pic!
Thanks! I was very pleased with it! They looks delicious in the shot.
Baby Lurch is a great name. I too hope he grows:)
Thanks Glenda! His parent plant was named Lurch so it seemed appropriate…
This is a really fun post – and the photos are great!
Thanks!
“In my kitchen” are two very tired parakeets who are hoping I go offline so they can go to bed ! Again – I loved your post “In My Kitchen”!!
I used to have parakeets. They are great company.
