Gwyneth Paltrow's blog is unbelievably annoying, but every once in a while, I will stroll over there to see how the other half lives. Through gritted teeth, I read her newsletter about an apartment that was renovated for her during a three month movie shoot in Nashville. Of course, this temporary apartment was better than my permanent residence, which brought up my "after-the-revolution" fantasies. Still, I did love her vegetable stand. You keep it on the counter and it helps remind you of what needs to be cooked.

I also liked these veggie pouches in the Crate and Barrel catalog. I'm very anal retentive, and I like the idea of keeping my vegetables in color coded bags. It's probably good for the environment, too, but that's not the point. A tidy vegetable bin is the point.
