Flirting with Italian Design

As most of my year is involved with remodeling our childhood home a great deal of time is spent looking for/at suppliers and their fancy ware.

The current highlight is on the kitchen. Is it any wonder then, that despite spending very little time in the kitchen in general, my eyes simply popped at the site of this beauty:

It is sturdy, no-nonsense, colorful and chic - naturally Italian. However, there are plenty of other temptations that are not Italian (CLICK HERE for the list)

So now my dilemma is to justify spending so much on something that will get so little use. Or will there be a drastic change and enthusiastic cooking sprees will follow? Would I even get to look forward to cooking? Who knows?

What would you do?

The following list of on-line cookie recipes was making the circuits a few years back in Christmas mailers. I was fascinated by it then and still am so I thought I would share it with those of you who love cookies.

Chill the milk and let's begin.
