fan favorites: sarah of the hungry bambino

Fan favorites is a new column I will be posting every Friday. It’s a quick peek at a few reader raves and faves. Today’s “fan” is Sarah of The Hungry Bambino, a fellow Madison blogger and lover of all things epicurean. Sarah is a friend of mine in real life and my resident go-to friend when it comes to anything edible. She authors a blog about cooking seasonally and locally with tips for pleasing picky little taste buds. Here are a few “ingredients” in her life’s recipe:

(AW) What is your favorite piece from Art Wall?

(HB) It’s a tie between Kelcan’s piece, “East,” which for some reason reminds me of traveling abroad and Kiki and Polly’s “Girl in the Yellow Suit,” which brings back memories of time spent at the beach in Holland, Michigan. -images 1 and 2

(AW) What’s your favorite luxury splurge..

(HB) I have very dry skin so super thick, rich face cream (Dr. Hauschka or Weleda are my favorites) and facial cleansing oil are a treat to have in my medicine cabinet, especially in winter! -images 3 and 4

(AW) Sarah, I think I can guess, but what’s your favorite thing to do on a Sunday afternoon?

(HB) Either laze about in the morning drinking the delicious coffee my husband makes and then go for a walk, or cook up a feast (surprise, surprise!) -image 5

(AW) What’s your favorite spot in the world?

(HB) Anywhere with my boys, preferably snuggling on the couch reading picture books with Rhys or shaking our booty during our nightly “Dancy Party USA.” -image 6

(AW) What’s your pick for the best item in your home under $10.00?

(HB) My salt pig. -image 7.
