Inspire Me: Kelly Purkey

Published by Sula H.

Wow! It’s been a while since I did my last real “Inspire Me” post. Looks like Christmas and the December Daily project just had me distracted quite some. But today, Inspire Me is back. And today … I’d like to introduce you to Kelly Purkey. Kelly is a gal from New York who’s real big into traditional scrapbooking, but she gives each of her pages her own hip twist. She is a member of the design team over at Studio Calico, and that seriously means something, right? You’ll find tons of inspiration simply by visiting her blog, and then there’s her gallery at Studio Calico, too.

Food Corner: Potatoes & Meat

Published by Sula H.

Potatoes are very common in China. Except that the way they are prepared in China is quite different from what I knew about cooking potatoes when I grew up. While (at least in Germany) potatoes usually are boiled in water and salt, like most everything here they’re fried in the wok (without ever boiling them beforehand). This specific potato dish comes diced and mixed with meat, onion and spices. And it’s quite delicious, too!
