IN MY KITCHEN - Feb 2025










It's the beginning of the month so it's time for In My Kitchen sponsored by Sherry from Sherry's Kitchen. I am sharing some of the new things in my kitchen this month .

I'm starting with the heart shaped open basket above. One of my friends told me that my potatoes would last longer if I kept them in a basket and cover them with a cotton cloth... I'll keep you posted. 


Next I'm sharing these cute colorful little Turkish bowls. They are great for serving spices - not sure what else.. 




These exquisite flowers are from Ecuador. There are people in Florida who pick them up directly off the plane at the airport and then drive directly to some of the high rise condo building to sell them in the parking lot. My building has over 600 condos. They are fresh, gorgeous and last about 10 days!!! The price is right too- $20 for 2 dozen roses. I split mine up and gave some as gifts. He has about 10 colors to choose from. 



The little shot glasses are from a Turkish store in Miami. They are perfect for drinking shots or Arak ( a Middle Eastern liquor) .



Sunny Isles, Florida, where I live for the winter, is considered North Miami Beach. It is a melting pot of ethnic groups with a high percentage of Russian residents and Russian visitors. I purchased this vegetable spread in one of the Russian deli stores. I have not opened it yet. 



This beautiful spreader is made of olive wood. I bought it at a craft show from the crafter. 



Finally, I am sharing my winter squashes that sit on my counter. They last at least a month and I make one kind of squash or two every week. My favorite is the spaghetti squash. I make a very simple recipe in the air-fryer which I cook on the bake function. I cut the spaghetti squash lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, fill the cavities with spaghetti sauce and bake for 45 minutes on 400 degrees. I eat an entire half myself.
