2007 Audubon WatchList

In trouble...the Henslow's Sparrow

"Audubon and the America Bird Conservancy have joined forces to rally conservationists around America's most imperiled birds. WatchList 2007, a new analysis from these leading bird conservation organizations, uses the latest available research from the bird conservation community along with citizen science data from the Christmas Bird Count and the annual Breeding Bird Survey to identify 178 species in the continental U.S. and 39 in Hawaii that are in need of immediate conservation help."

I’ve always been a fan of the shape and heft of Nigella Lawson’s Living Kitchen line, but I especially love these black pieces…somehow they manage to be both earthy and sophisticated.

And on a side note, during a particularly ugly bought of insomnia last night, I found myself reading a feature on Lawson in Cookie at 2:00 am and was somewhat vindicated to discover that she not only serves her kids noodles with broth for dinner on a regular basis, but she also makes them buy their lunch at school…I feel so much better.
