Gifts That Keep on Giving

When we got married, it was so fun to register for and receive lots of new things for our kitchen. But what I didn't expect was how much fun it would be to think about the friends who gave us those gifts each time we use them. For example, last night I made a pesto pizza for dinner. I thought about...

Caitrin, who gave us this heart-shaped dish

Bridget, who gave us this snazzy kitchen timer

Keller and Lindsay, who gave us this fabulous pink hand mixer

and my mom, who scored this vintage Pyrex bowl as part of a set at St. Vinnie's

and Cailin, Nicolai, and Amalia, who gave us this useful yet attractive dish drainer.

And the great thing is, all of this happy thinking-about-friends happens every time we cook!
