Let’s kick off this week of thanksgiving with a little bit of just that.

Help Ink is a collaborative art project, and with each purchase you’ll be doing your part to help charitable organizations and individuals around the world. Because as much as we complain about the US of A, let’s face it, our lives are good. This morning I’m really happy to partner with Help Ink for a double-doozy giveaway that features two of their killer pieces of art! Now read carefully, because this is actually two giveaways in one and you’ll need to enter each separately.

Turntable Kitchen

 

 

I’m all kinds of in love with the notion behind Turntable Kitchen. Music! Cooking! Vinyl! Recipes!

San Francisco couple Kasey and Matthew started connecting good and music on their site with hand-selected recipes and musical pairing, and recently they began offering up a Pairings Box. It’s a curated food and music discovery experience delivered to your door, you can either order by the month or subscribe. Fab concept, no? My favorite part is that the music shows up on vinyl. Maybe, just maybe, this is the perfect gift for the foodie/music lover in your life.

PS: Don’t miss their backlog of stellar mixtapes!
