Bonus Bone: Artist Series Twist and Shut Bowls

Twist and Shut Bowls, at Delight

So, apparently these portable bowls are out of stock but they are reordering more...and they should because they are super!

Not only do these travel meal bowls showcase the artistry of craft favorites, such as Amy Ruppel and Matte Stephens, but they also seal tight. Twist and Shut means that soup and even cereal can be taken (in style) on the go.

For this reason, I, Cardboard, declare all this a Design Boner.

6 & 7 : Summer vacation edition

We were on summer vacation this past weekend, which caused the photo uploading delay. Visit flickr to see the entire 6 & 7 collection.

Fridge Foil

While I was relaxing on a long-weekend vacation, my fridge decided to do the same. Slowly but defiantly, the refrigerator section spent four days lazily moving toward a warm, ripe siesta and, just today, the freezer decided to join in the fun.

If you happen to be forced into this disorienting situation (will mustard keep?), here is a handy list of items that should not be given the chance to test the new tropical climate. Immediately feed your dumpster:

• Turkey Bacon
• Goat Cheese
  
• Pre-Cut Fruit (specifically watermelon and pineapple which melts into a foamy, off-gassing jacuzzi of stink)
  
• White Bean Puree
  
• Flour Tortillas (that happen to be resting next to the bio hazard that was the pineapple/watermelon)
  
• Fish (!)
  
• Most Dairy (milk, cream, although butter is a trooper)
  

I have an appointment (window) with the friendly repair person from Sears tomorrow. I'm hoping I can then run straight to the grocery to re-stock my freezer with Drumsticks and vodka but we'll just have to see.

Perhaps I'll start to enjoy Euro-chic daily market trips, anticipating that evening's menu as I cross cobblestones with single-serving chicken breast and leafy celery stalks in my tote. That, or I'll just start eating a lot of Ramen and crackers. And if Sears jerks me around enough, I might just get rid of the thing all together.

Wish me cool, crisped luck and I'll soon have you over for mayonnaise.
