SALAD SPINNER. Need I say more? – Photography by David Colwell
MARBLE NOTEBOOKS. I use them because you don’t tear out the pages. They never leave the office. They are my farm reference books. – Photography by David Colwell
CORDLESS HEADSET. Anyone who has ever seen me in my house knows I’ll be wearing this. I can talk and do all my work. My brother thinks I only do dishes when I’m on it—not true. – Photography by David Colwell
READING GLASSES. I have between zero to five pairs, depending on if I can find them. – Photography by David Colwell
SILVER BANGLE BRACELETS. I wear them all of the time. My family recognizes me by the jingle. – Photography by David Colwell
KITCHEN TOOLS. My favorite kitchen tools are: a sharp knife, whisk, and microplane. I’ve been known to take them on vacation with me so I know we have them. – Photography by David Colwell
FARMERS’ MARKET APRON. Thinking is difficult without it on. – Photography by David Colwell
KNEE-HIGH MUCK BOOTS. You can fold them over if you don’t need the height. – Photography by David Colwell
OUR GARLIC. I save a case every year for us. I’ll be taking some of it on vacation—a good way to be sure it’s your suitcase.

LARGE FRYING PANS. I have three 15-inch ones. I want a 15-inch cast iron. – Photography by David Colwell
