Did you see The Taste of Things? When Juliette Binoche poached a turbot in a beautiful, single-function copper pan? Becca has been dreaming about one ever since. This is a gag, but...!

Our brilliant friend Abby highlighted a gorgeous cookie jar designed by her favorite architect, Stanley Tigerman, on her delightful Substack Price Upon Request. The cookie jar sold, but these absolutely charming candlesticks -- a pair from 1987, just like us! -- are available, and perhaps even more compelling.

The best tapers! We love them in pumpkin, Williamsburg blue, and other moody shades.

This is the stock image, but it's appropriate: we're going to Turkey! If you're overwhelmed by material goods, help us explore Istanbul, İzmir, and Cappadocia. Every lira counts!

Lovely holders for some colorful tapers. (Price is in euros!)

How elegant would it be to serve all of our dinner guests with matching tableware?

The most lovely table knives from our favorite Corsican coutellerie. Price is in euros!

It's simply the best cooking thermometer.

A spoon for every purpose!

A selection of our favorite Vermont cheeses would stun on this lovely board!

We adore our Bodega glasses, but sometimes we crave a stem!

A beautiful cutting board made of the softest Japanese cypress that won't dull the edges on Charlie's knives.

The only way to make Charlie's bread more appealing would be to serve it in this charming bread basket, don't you think?

To complement our radicchio serving bowl!

Who doesn't long for a chic way to defeat fruit flies?

We love to serve pre-dinner snacks, and what better vessel for dips is there than a delicate glass bowl or two?

We fell in love with this little Bunka when we were in SF in March. He's adorable, and perfect for shallots! Imagine the salad dressings!!

If we can't have Noguchi's Sun at Noon in our apartment, at least we could have a lamp!

The first thing we did after we got engaged? We went birdwatching in the Ebro Delta. I don't think we'll lure any green herons or hoopoes to our porch in Jamaica Plain, but all bird are beautiful!

How have we lived this long without a beautiful glass saucière? Imagine the sauces, the creams, the syrups we could pour!
