What a dream it would be to go to Morocco and travel and buy all the spices and fabric. I know some people don’t believe in gift certificates, but I also know that the things I love the most are the things I happen upon, not the ones in a catalogue. Our first and foremost dream is a trip, a real vacation, where we book hotel rooms and explore, where we don’t know anyone and are there to discover.If you wonder what this trip will look like, we are essentially just copying our friends Meg McNeill and Kevin Cook's trip to Morocco. They have impeccable taste, know how to have a great time and have done the legwork.

Over 60% of people in jail in the US are there while they await trial. In most cases, they can’t afford bail so they spend time in jail. The inability to afford bail often forces people to plead guilty just to get out of jail, even when they are innocent. This sounds impossible to many people, but it is definitely a thing. This exasperates families who already suffer from financial insecurities, making them more fragile. The Brooklyn Community Bail Fund posts bail for people so they can stay with their families and continue to work while awaiting their court date. 95% of clients return for court dates. When the case is resolved, the money is returned. The average amount of the bail they pay is $910. That is the amount most people need to stay out of Rikers Island.

A gem of a store we found in Asbury Park, New Jersey. They specialize in mid-century furniture at amazing prices and we have purchased a few major pieces from them. Their inventory is ever-changing, so a gift card is most appropriate for us, unless they have a Weltron 8-track player available.

This might be an incredibly decadent night at one place with a tasting menu and beautiful wine list. Or this could be da tour of Greek-owned diners of the Delmarva Valley.

Bread is delicious.

This makes us fancy, I hope.

I know a tea kettle seems a bit pedestrian, but it turns out I am a bit obsessed with them and have some serious opinions about their design. Who knew? This one strikes me as a good one.

Softened butter is a hallmark of civilization.

Egg pans are important. Eggs are important.
