up to
needing:
Eton FR300 emergency radio
With a hand crank, flashlight, cell phone charger, and the ability to listen in on broadcast tv stations. Last week we had a very minor windstorm and half our neighborhood lost power, so I figure we'll spend at least a few days this winter hand cranking our way to NPR. I admit I need this less to save me from lack of communications, and more to save me from boredom while I lack internet access. The Wall Street Journal called it the best emergency radio. Also, it comes in red and silver and orange.
carving:
pumpkins
I like to make pumpkins that are worried, Scott likes to make pumpkins that antagonize mine.
eating:
Minea Farm fruit leather
The plum is really good. Minea Farm makes cider on a century old press, it's really good too.
desiring:
Maldon sea salt
We had used up the last of our old sea salt and the poached eggs this morning just weren't as good.
sipping:
Blue Bottle coffee
The beans smell so good.

i bought an FR200 (in blue) a couple of years ago and it's very handy. every once in awhile, i'll crank it up and search for interesting short-wave stations.

The blue bottle coffee is so delicious, expecially when they make it for you in the alley-shack, as I like to call it.

Actually, that Eton radio comes in quite a few more colors if you get it from LL Bean.

I have that radio too...best purchase made in a LONG LONG time.
CBC (CDN equivalent to NPR) while camping....CBC during power outages...or CBC during my morning breakfast snack. ALL CBC...all the time. YAY

Marsha - Amazon carries all the Eton colors as well, I just like those three.
Samin - It was a gift a friend brought me all the way back, I owe her one.
