Karlin's Notebook: East Village Shop Crosses Globe For Tea Leaves
DES MOINES, Iowa -- The two men who run Gong Fu Tea in Des Moines crossed the globe to pick tea leaves for their East Village shop. Mike Feller and Rusty Bishop recently returned from a big buying trip. Statistics show that tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world behind water. .
Hip habitats
People will no doubt pick up ideas for their own homes. Once they get inspired, they can purchase stylish purses, handmade jewelry and whimsical art at the Unique Boutique, a shopping experience with a couple dozen vendors, at Rockford Bank & Trust, 127 N. Wyman St., Rockford.
Proceeds of Unique Spaces will benefit projects including Mayas House, a Rockford drop-in center for homeless children.
A few highlights of what you will see:
The Camp Avenue Kitchen: In Rockfords historic Churchills Grove, a Georgian-style home built in 1917 with a French Country kitchen, natural stone tiles and cork floors.
The Key West Theater: In a split-bedroom, ranch-style home, an impressive home theater with a 72-inch high-definition screen, framed by extensive millwork, with recessed lighting.
Battling the birthday cake
My son recently turned 6, and with that came the rigmarole of the birthday party where 18 of his friends were booked for an afternoon of drumming lessons, gourmet pizza, spin the bottle (the non-kissing version) and to finish, a no-holds-barred tournament of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey.

His senses and balance still recalibrating from weightlessness, Medina billionaire Charles Simonyi said Tuesday his stay aboard the International Space Station was a little like camping.

He returned to Earth on Saturday, along with a Russian cosmonaut and American astronaut. .
Today's Special: Chicken, Mushroom, and Goat-Cheese Burritos
Isn't it fabulous fun to think outside the box? Generally when making burritos I stick to the usual Tex-Mex inspired ingredients of beans, rice, and pepper jack cheese, but today I was in the mood to jazz things up a bit. Instead of using my usual chicken with tomato salsa and cilantro mixture, how about using mushrooms, green salsa, spinach, and goat cheese? Sound deliciously gourmet? Well it's made with store bought chicken making it easy and quick! I've never had goat cheese on a burrito before, but can imagine that it will be creamy and crumbly. The spinach will add a fresh crunch making this burrito a perfect on the go meal that you can scarf down before you meet the girls for cocktails. Get the recipe and Chicken, Mushroom, and Goat-Cheese Burritos From Martha Stewart 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 medium onion, chopped 1 jalapeno chile (ribs and seeds removed for less heat), minced Coarse salt and ground pepper 10 ounces white button mushrooms, trimmed, thinly sliced 1 rotisserie chicken (about 2 1/2 pounds), skin removed and meat shredded (about 4 cups) 1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn kernels 1 cup prepared green salsa, plus more for serving 6 burrito-size (10-inch) flour tortillas 1 bunch flat-leaf spinach, thick stems removed (3 cups) 1 log (5 ounces) soft goat cheese, crumbled In a large skillet with a lid, heat oil over medium.
