A Short Baking Break

I'm taking a short break from baking today so that I can add a protective coating to my butcher block counter tops.

It's also a good opportunity for me to clear, clean and organize my kitchen for the New Year.

The product I use is called Emmet's Elixir and I highly recommend it because it's easy to apply, non-toxic and smells like lavender and rosemary.

I bought my bottle at Crosscut Hardwoods here in Portland but you can also find it online at Amazon.

I also use the elixir on all my wood cutting boards and have even put it on my wood garage door - hey it waterproofs it so the rain just beads off.
