Last Night I Dreamt About Daniel Craig...

YumSugar — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 09:19:33 -0800

I found this fantastic Daniel Craig–inspired tea towel in the Yum Market and just had to share it with you guys. TeamSugar member swwonder bookmarked this creation by Emma Bridgewater. The tea towel ($12) says, "I had a really nice dream last night about Daniel Craig," and is one of several fun designs. None are quite as hysterical as this one, but they're definitely worth checking out.

Not only am I a sucker for seasonal candy, but I also can't say no to holiday kitchen linens. From heart-printed dish towels to Halloween aprons to Christmas tablecloths, I love seasonal kitchen linens. How about you?

Off To Market Recap: Dishtowels

partysugar — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 00:09:19 -0700

With the forthcoming arrival of my favorite season of the year (summer) I'm getting ready to spend a lot of time over at my grandfather Al's house. He has an amazing pool and a fabulous kitchen to cook in: it's super open, always clean, and has two ovens. However when I go to clean up after cooking, he never has any nice dishtowels - which can be mildly frustrating. That's why I've asked you to help me by finding Al some new dishtowels. I told you I wanted towels that were durable and simple. No hearts and nothing too girly. You searched for block colors and nautical accents and saved the towels in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Dishtowels. The striped (everyone found towels with stripes!) towels that will most match Al's kitchen and persona are:

I love these plaid seersucker towels and will get one in every color for Al. Thanks for the awesome find amyfinke!

Two more towels so read more

Al can use these sturdy green stripped towels for everyday use. These practical towels were found by wiggle that said she bought them for a bachelor friend and he loves them. Sounds like they'll be perfect for my bachelor of all bachelors grandfather!

Vuittonish found these muted colored plain dishtowels. It's always good to have a variety of different fabrics with your dishtowels. These will work well for hand drying wine and martini glasses.

I haven't had clean dishtowels in weeks. I'm rarely home and when I'm in my apartment, I always find time to cook, but never have several free hours to do the laundry. Thus I've decided to purchase a new set of dish towels and I asked you to help me find them. You looked for colorful and fun dishtowels that can be used to dry everything from old pots to long-stemmed champagne glasses. You saved your dishtowel discoveries in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Dish Towels.

I love these lemon drop dishtowels that jennjennnbubba found. It's an affordable ($9.99) set of five towels and the warm, summery colors will look fabulous in my kitchen. Thanks for your help jenn! To check out all of the dish towels scroll to the right below.

The other day I opened the linen drawer in my kitchen and looked down at my sorry collection of dish towels. What were once pretty towels are now burnt, stained, torn, and worn. Since Spring is a great time to clean out dirty drawers, I've decided to purchase some new dish towels.

I asked you to help me by heading off to market in search of new dish towels. You looked for durable towels in fun prints or vibrant colors and you bookmarked the towels in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Dish Towels. How delightful are these citrus slice towels?

The tropical color scheme will brighten up my kitchen, and the festive pattern can carry me right into Summer. Fabulous find mellie_608! For more towels, check out the collection below.

Off to Market Recap: Green Kitchen

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day and the arrival of Spring, I've decided to add some green accents to my kitchen decor. I asked you to help me search for green - in color or state of mind - accessories. You looked for anything and everything and bookmarked your finds in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Green Kitchen.

I was very surprised by the overwhelming amount of cool green kitchenware! I love the artistic Dom Perignon Champagne cooler. What I don't love is the $1000 price tag.

Something like this pretty paisley printed dishtowel is more up my alley. Serenityspeaks discovered this item that is affordable, stylish, and fresh in a lovely green color scheme. To go gaga for green, browse all of the collection below.

How to Store Raw Oysters

partysugar — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 10:15:36 -0800

Although raw oysters are best consumed as fresh as possible, sometimes it's necessary to store them for a couple of hours or even overnight. My dad purchased 50 oysters on Friday for a small party Saturday. Since they were on the menu raw, we had to keep them cold for about a day. Following the technique described in the Hog Island Oyster Company cookbook, this is how to properly store oysters:

Stack the oysters right side up on a plate or in a baking tray.
Wet a kitchen towel and ring out as much water as possible.
Drape the damp towel over the oysters, covering completely.
Place in the fridge on the shelf closest to the freezer. You want to keep the shellfish really cold without freezing it because this will kill the oysters. If the towel becomes to dry, rewet it with water.

Do you have a tip for storing or enjoying oysters? Please share with us below!
