On the list of 'things I want to be when I grow up', Inn-Keeper ranks somewhere near the top. It's no surprise then that any given year, my teeny flat (600 and change sq feet) is home to visitors, travelers and nomads alike. I like it, as it gives me the chance to be a tourist in the town I live in via their experiences and stories { there is ALWAYS a story..}.

One thing i've come to realise is that more often than not, my guests always leave a gastro inspired gift. My last guest left last week and when I came home I found attached to my fridge the nifty pad pictured above. Made by <a href="http://www.knockknock.biz/catalog/categories/pads/kk-pads/planning-the-menu-pad/">knock knock</a>, this 'planning the menu' pad forces you to curate your meal plan for the day or a specific event and gives space for feedback and ingredients used. It's just what a needed and a nice staging area for recipes that aren't yet fit to make it into my <a href="http://www.moleskine.com/catalogue/passions/recipe_journal/">moleskine recipe journal</a>.

So thanks house guest! You're welcome around these 'ere parts anytime!
