Mike and I aren’t quite sure where we want to move. We’re torn between staying put and moving far away and starting fresh. I think I’ve found a solution that will solve all of our problems. Motorhomes.

Think about it. We can pick up and move whenever we want to. We can get rid of our cars. We can enjoy all the same things that we can in a home, including a full kitchen, luxury bathroom, and loads of closet space.

With all the motorhomes available at RVs.com, we can pick out our first “home” for way less than a piece of real estate!

Tie on your apron, because it’s time for Four Foods on Friday, and this edition is quite chefy!

1. Name one cookbook, cooking website or food blog that you frequently use.

I wouldn’t say I use Smitten Kitchen often, but I refer to it. The recipes usually too involved for my liking, but I enjoy the layout and photography.

2. Do you watch any cooking shows on tv? Which ones?

Top Chef, Hell’s Kitchen, Good Eats, Paul’s Home Cooking, Semi-Homemade, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Unwrapped.

3. Are you in a cooking rut? Name a food or dish that you’d like to find a recipe for.

I’d love some recipes to get Mike to eat more fish and seafood! My goal was to replace two meals a week with fish, but I can’t find anything that he’ll actually eat.

4. Share a recipe created by somebody else that you haven’t tried but would like to.

One of the many recipes the Chef I work with developed that has gotten rave reviews.

A lot of us don’t think much about the architecture around us, and many times, that’s a sign of good architecture. It blends in with its surroundings and is unimposing, which leads us to take it’s beauty and functionality for granted.

Accurate Perforating is a perforated metal company that doesn’t take design and functionality for granted. In fact, they make it a priority to integrate the two seamlessly, and are very successful; perforating more than 40 million pounds of recycled metal every year and adding style to everything from buildings to baking racks.

Their slogan is “it’s not just metal with holes”, and that’s an understatement. Their perforated metal is pretty metal with holes that serve a purpose, available in numerous ornamental and symmetrical patterns which can be used for acoustics, security, sun shading, and decoration, just to name a few applications. Take a look around, and you’ll start to notice just how many applications perforated metal has in your daily life! I bet you can find some out by your grill, in your utility closet, and in your kitchen cabinets!

Accurate Perforating is also committed to green design, utilizing recycled metals and helping to incorporate metal into design to help improve air quality, incorporate natural light, and reducing the dependency on HVAC systems, to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) credits.

I never used to wear a watch. Then I got a job at a marketing agency where I bill my time to the client for a hefty sum and it is important that I keep accurate records. Citizen watches are great because they are dependable and fashionable, and my favorite style has a large face so that I never mistake the time.

My watch also displays the date and time, is water resistant, which is great because I sometimes work in the kitchen, and never needs a battery replacement because the Eco Drive battery charges indoors or out! Now I find myself wearing my Citizen watch all the time.
