My flatware is a set that I got from Macy's when I got my first apartment, because it was really cheap and looked more grown-up than the plastic-handled kind I had in college. It's fairly boring looking, but it's held up pretty well, and I don't actually dislike it, so I've kept it. As soon as I got a real job, though, I replaced my cheap dishes with Fiestaware.
What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse's proper butter warmer would look very nice on my stove. IJS.
That one sold [link] but it was only $10 with shipping, and I bet there are others around.

I bought two on eBay just now. One is yellow, one is the kind that sits over a tea light to stay warm. Neither was very expensive, at least.

Someone sat down at their desk, looked at a photo of three metal bowls...and had to do something.
I know folks who work at Zulily. You've pretty much described their jobs.

So, I've been "shopping" through my bin of clothes that I packed away as being too small some time in the past, which has been totally fun and has netted me a full laundry basket of clothes that actually fit me better than most of what's in my closet. I just came across my Pi shirt from ThinkGeek! A day late, no, two, but I forgot I even had it so that's a nice surprise.
Eta: ooh, and my Buffistas SF2F shirt! Awesome!

Man, I am chatty today. But I am home and not working and got eight hours of sleep and kind of feel like - you know when you run with ankle weights and then take them off and almost feel like you can fly? Like that.
Anyway, made myself a fancy lunch of avocado and endive stuffed with walnuts and feta in a balsamic vinegar/lime cordial reduction and I'm going to post a link to a picture of it to see how this Food app works. [link]

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Home.
still having waves of nausea, which is no fun and makes me wary to get in the car for errands (like getting the dog and food), but I will take some medicine and home for the best.
Mac is extremely happy to be home. I think 3 days at a vacation spot from now on.

Welcome home, msbelle. I hope you feel better soon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ooh, the food app! Your meal is too much like salad for me to appreciate, but those are nice dishes...why did I go deliberate diner white again???
I used Evernote Food when I was home for Christmas. Got pretty diligent about it, and the app somehow made my food look better. Fuck, I've been using it to record my opinions of different kinds of apples, and it somehow looks less pedestrian than that effort deserves.
Note: that is not the Platonic parental knife, but the fork is appealing.
No way I could do the round spoons--the correctly proportioned oval is a key consideration for anything I will eat cereal out of. I also have strict bowl requirements.
