Boring and predictable for me to start with a kitchen tool, but I simply don’t care. I’m not that picky about kitchen appliances, don’t have much loyalty to brands or specifics, but I think I would do crime for this peppermill. Shitty tools make you have a bad time cooking, and if you have a bad time cooking, you will hate doing it. Every try to get a significant amount of pepper from one of those pre-filled store-bought peppermills? It’s a BAD time! This well made peppermill is a JOY to use, and if you cook even a little, this will make all your food taste better, I promise.

Buy a good one so it will stay sharp and then you can offer fresh cracked pep to your guests forever. Thats the grindset.

Guy Beardsley, a British engineer at Rolls-Royce, found himself stymied during the pandemic and set about designing a pepper grinder that is an homage to one belonging to his grandparents. These grinders are gorgeously finished in deep hues, solid cast iron, and will grind like no other grinder you've ever held. These are truly the final solution to your search for the perfect grinder. Be forewarned, however, that at 2+ lbs each, they also double as free weights!

I got an ice tray shaped like french fries, mini shovels as spoons, a mini Chinese chopper for herbs. It's functional, fun and easy to transport later.

Have you heard of it? Just kidding, of course your mom has. Anyway, because I am always relevant, I just began watching this iconic series mostly because I find myself missing New York so much (even though I never really lived in that New York. Everything is different! Everything is the same!). Most days, it’s all I think about. When will I be able to watch the next episode? Maybe I can fit one in in the middle of the day? Just one! They’re so short, you can have just a lil SATC, as a treat. I have a lot of thoughts on this show and the characters but my favorite thing is how terrible everyone is. Just like all of us!

I’m coming to terms with the fact that I may never get black out drunk at Upstairs Bar and sing Careless Whisper ever again. But if you’re fully vaccinated and know other fully vaccinated people, karaoke can still happen. A version of it, anyway. I had my first small session for a friends birthday the other night using Karafun videos on Youtube (search your song + karaoke) and some shitty but functional bluetooth microphone and it was honestly better than sex.

I read this book last summer and am re-reading it now because it’s so good. One of those “tell everyone you know to read it” books. She’s a poet turned essayist and she’s just got such a gift for articulating pain and humor and trauma and things that should be boring but aren’t. This collection is funny, it’s heartbreaking, it’s honest, it’s vulnerable. She’s the kind of writer most people wish they were (myself included).
