Hank Hill Goes HOMEGROWN, works at the Co-op

King of The Hill has really outdone themselves with their "Raise The Steaks" episode. Hank becomes a passionate food consumer once he discovers organic meats. He and Bobby visit a family farm and see how real food is grown (Bobby: "How do you know when a cow is ripe? Do you squeeze it?). Hank even works to save the now profitable local Corn-uCo-oPia from the destructive hands of Mega-Lo- Mart (Hank: "Co-op, huh? All those Vee Dubyas in the parking lot, I just assumed it was a Unitarian church").
We say bravo, Hank Hill, for fighting for what's "dee-licious"!

Humble kitchen love

I’ve been thinking about kitchens a lot lately. I scrutinize any appliance ad that features a gourmet kitchen – usually there is an elegantly dressed couple cooking together or entertaining their equally fabulous house guests. Sleek, long counter tops. Sparsely adorned with shiny orbs and glass vases – maybe a dramatic bouquet for color.

Sometimes the idea of having such a sleek and sexy kitchen is appealing, but for now I’ll stick with my humble apartment kitchen: pots hanging from the ceiling, shelves bursting with random food stuff, the 40-year-old gas stove, and the worn wooden top of an old dresser that serves as my only counter top – it may never grace the pages of Dwell or Gourmet, but it’s a well-loved space where I work well with what I’ve got.
What kind of kitchen do you cook in?
