kid-sized buffet
/
I'm still planning to one day replicate the kid-sized buffet in this back issue of Blueprint (pictured in the bottom far right). The 'buffet' appears to be composed of three LACK tables from IKEA (cheap enough to buy just for a party at $8/table) scooted together. How fun would it be to have a kid-sized 'favor buffet' or have small snacks set out their level? Or perhaps an Amy Atlas-inspired mini treat table? It would definitely have to be for the 3+ year old crowd (I can't imagine my almost two year old being able to control himself with a small table of treats), but perhaps something I will contemplate for his next birthday.

I stumbled upon a program this weekend from NPR called The Splendid Table. Apparently I've been in the dark for a long time- the radio show has been around for almost 10 years. The host, Lynne Kasper, explores various aspects of food. One segment I heard was a caller trying to make a dish they had tasted at a restaurant, and asking Lynne's advice for what might be in it. She and her guests also travel the nation looking for the best taste-based adventures, among many other things! The best part? The show is available FREE as a podcast, and can be downloaded directly into iTunes right here.
