My Nona always had a Hall ball pitcher in the kitchen. So does my mom. So do I. The Hall China Company started making these ceramic pitchers in the â30s and they became pretty ubiquitous in the 40s, 50s, and 60s in American kitchens. The bulbous shape is super classic, and the portfolio of glaze colors is amazing. I prefer the styles that have the white interior showing on the lip of the pitcher for some added contrast. Fill it up with ice and some water. Or lemonade. Or mint tea. Or pre-batched negronis. Theyâre affordable and all over eBay, Etsy, and the like.

I know almost nothing about this company except that it's a great eBay search if you're looking for glass stuff. they make a pitcher that looks like a duck, and i'm obsessed. i bought one for myself, decided i loved it so much that i wanted to get another to sell in my shop. when i got the second one, it was totally different from the first (smaller eye, different shape for the beak, etc). the third one was even more diff. what a joy to have a family of duck pitchers that all have a different personality and look !! this is a dangerous game but i'm addicted and i can't stop.

There are crackers that cool, young, brand-savvy, culinary enthusiasts eat. And then there are crackers that old Southern Italian Grandpas eat. Iâm fine with the former, but I prefer the latter. Taralli, If youâre not familiar, are the latter. Theyâre a style of cracker that is essentially a bread stick (made with a slightly denser dough) curled in on itself to form a circle, usually with a shiny, smooth exterior. A lot of taralli have things like fennel seeds, pepper flakes, or dried herbs folded into the dough, but these rosemary and sea salt ones from Bello Rustico are the best Iâve found stateside. The exterior is more textural, and the cracker itself is buttery and extremely flaky, right at home with some roasted red peppers, a hunk of piave, or a slice of mortadella.

Actual Source is a publisher, bookseller, merch maker, and all-around design-nerdâs dream based in Utah. As someone who went to school for graphic design and never became a graphic designer, it helps me feel like Iâm still in the club. Front to back, the shop is absolute heat, even if you donât drop terms like kerning, logotype, or visual identity system in conversation regularly. The merch is just as rad as the book curation. The collabs are genre-breaking. And their book series called Shoplifters is probably the best place to physically experience the work of todayâs raddest illustrators and type designers.

Remember when you were a kid and it was summer and you were happy? Because you didnât realize that your overactive sweat glands made you look like some kind of forgotten wax figure scraped from the sidewalk? Yeah, that pre-perspiration-awakening feeling is still achievable. You just have to walk to an ice cream truck and order a soft serve. Iâm a plain vanilla guy, but thereâs no wrong answer when staring into the cold blue eyes of my president, Mister Softee.
