2010, Y'all

Out with the old....

The Bargain

I try to contrast the girly stuff in this apartment with dude-friendly things for a balanced-gender environment. Accepting a Beertender into our lives (and postage stamp-size kitchen), though, may be the ultimate compromise.

Pass That Bowl

Reason #45 Ikea's not cheap for me: Because I can't not buy like 20 little things on my way out.

Ikea, I Love Ya

I'm not ready to drop my dollas on nice wine glasses quite yet (and over borrowing glasses), but I did break down and buy a buttload of red and white wine glasses from my own personal Swedish heaven.

The Champagne Will Still Get You Drunk

I'm kind of embarrassed that I don't yet own a set of champagne flutes. But not embarrassed enough to have bought some. Or embarrassed enough to not ask my BFF Tib to borrow some. These are hers after a girl's night, and they're laying down to dry because Mike thought it was less perilous than standing them up. He's pretty smart. Don't tell him I said that.

Hot Wing Aftermath

Those are the best plates God ever created, purchased from the best party store ever created.

Wing Nuts: Or, How I Spent My Weekend

Turns out casual hot wing night only sounds casual. Making the wings in a small kitchen is actually quite an undertaking. But totally worth it. Those gnarly grease stains are gone now though, so don't freak out or anything.

And that is our new "spider", purchased in Chinatown: land of weird kitchen gadgets you didn't know you needed.

Digitally Yours

Look I was highly (and vocally) anti digital frames. We have a lot of non digital frames in the hallway, which is how things should be. But Mike brought home this one one day after a sale at Circuit City (RIP) and I am into it. This is not the start of a new trend at our place, I just like this particular one because it has a voice recording thingy (unused) and a wipe off board, so it's more of a badass multitasker than a digital frame, which is probably the exact term they should use to market these.

Whether I Need a Garlic Roaster Is So Totally Not the Point

Friends, there is a kitchen gadget wonderland. It is called TJ Maxx. I freaked out a little when I was home last, and now I have heart palpitations because holy shit there's one in the city now.

Recession Victim: Fancy-Ass Soap

shannoninsf — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 08:22:09 -0700

Since it's the totally hot thing to blame the recession for negative things happening in your life, I'll play along. I have stopped buying fancy Caldrea, even Mrs. Meyers, dish soap because of the recession. Well that and I have also been too lazy to visit the stores where they sell it. But it does seem doofy to spend more than a couple bucks on dish soap.

(I'm lying. My next bottle will expensive and smell like faeries.)
