Are You More Likely to Hand Wash Dishes?
While we do have a dishwasher, I find that I am a much better dishwasher than it is. Plus, I hate waiting until the dishwasher is full to run a load. There's something that bothers me about knowing that the dishwasher is half full of dirty dishes.

Way back when, I confessed that North's two dishes cost more than my entire collection of flatware. I remember feeling pretty remorseful about my choice, but the stainless steel has lived up to that investment nearly seven years later! After spotting these sleek twosomes, I'm not feeling guilty but a bit jealous since this is a splurge-worthy set if I've ever seen one.
Bare Bones: Aqua Bol
With temps still reaching the 70s in SF lately, North and I have been taking advantage of the weather, and going for nice long walks on the weekends.
