A dear friend re-gifted me this XXX Pepper shaker as soon as the person who gave it to her left the house.
The friend’s friend cockily assumed that the friend wouldn’t mind a pepper shaker with, “Love From Amsterdam” written down the side of the shaft shaker (not visible in this photo).
What a […]
Last year, Elizabeth Warren was one of the presidential candidates I supported early on. Clearly, I am somewhat disappointed that she did not do better in the primaries. However, I am going to vote for Joe Biden, enthusiastically.
Is he my dream candidate? No.

This is the other bottle of whisk(e)y that I bought while in New York City last Christmas (see: 97, Bull Head Bourbon).
Distilled in New York City – Brooklyn (King County) to be precise – Kings County Distillery is, apparently, the oldest (and largest) distillery open within the city limits: it was established in […]
I saw this game for sale at the Winterfeldtmarkt – for several months – and I was intrigued.
So I bought it.
I do not know how much I paid, but I would imagine 20-30€; roughly what the game appears to sell for today on Amazon.
I will say, one of the things that […]
A few weeks ago, I posted Adam, 1977, a magnificent piece of art that I cannot bring myself to throw away, even as I hide it in a drawer, unsure of what exactly I am supposed to do with it.

The only comment my Mother made upon giving this to […]
I’ve previously noted that I am not really a jewelry person – and so here is the only ring that I own.
Although I rarely wear it, I love it: it is a Charles Rennie Mackintosh Ring by Shetland Jewellery. I bought it on June 1, 2013, paying £739.00. It had to be custom […]
I popped onto Amazon recently searching for something, but thanks to an absent-minded linguistic mistake on my part, I ended up discovering that there is such a thing as submergible LED lights that come complete with a remote control so that you can switch between 12 colors, flashing, brightness and more.
That said, this […]
As a member of the lactose intolerance community, the pills inside this bottle are critical for making my love of cheese possible.
Funny enough, I carry two kinds of lactose pills around: these, which I buy in Germany, are nice because it carries a large number of doses in a relatively small package. The […]
This copy of the 2017 UK £10 note is on display because it features a quote from Jane Austin:
“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!”
Although the line is spoken in great irony (and the Bank of England is mocked for choosing this line), out of context it is a […]
I sent myself this postcard from Baltasound – writing it while at the Baltasound Hotel Restaurant on May 30, 2013.
This is the best smelling restaurant I’ve been in in years – O.M.G. The first day in the Shetland Islands – Unst – Many Shetland Ponies seen. Lots of sheep/lambs. Amazing scenery – plus […]
