Another nice remake of the classic '50s Italian Atomic espresso maker. Our original Atomic sits (looking very cool) on a shelf in our kitchen at home, now that we are lazy and have become accustomed to the convenience of the Pixie. Meet Otto: (Posted by Laura)

A friend of ours came out and had lunch with us at the Airstream yesterday. I made my favorite sandwiches: chicken and fennel salad on crusty bread (recipe below). We all went for a nice long brisk walk in the drizzle after lunch, and saw quite a few of…
