John W. Golden Posters.

Loving these fun, intensely graphic poster prints from John W. Golden. I think they’d be perfect to either inject a bit of humor into a home, or to brighten up a child’s room with some gentle reminders for everyday living.

The Cupcake Courier.

Here’s the thing: I love to bake. And I love to bake cupcakes more than just about anything. But if I somehow managed to actually eat all that I baked, well, chances are I have a rough time fitting through most doorways (with the exception of those extra-wide ones of course). So when I bake I pawn my goods off on others. But cupcakes? They’re tricky little guys to transport. You have to account for the icing not getting crushed, them sliding into one another and whatever else gets (literally) thrown your way.

So when I saw The Cupcake Courier you can imagine my joy. This bad boy was designed with transportation and storage in mind and is capable of taking on up to 36 cupcakes. Or you can remove all three trays and it can accommodate a cake instead. Genius!

On the Rocks: Mango Chai-tini.

Chai is one of the best things ever. But I’ve never had it spiked, which makes this Mango Chai-tini a must!

Ingredients:
– 1 cup water
– 1/4 cup dried mango, chopped
– 2 Tablespoons turbinado sugar (plus more for rimming the glasses)
– 2 chai tea bags (I used TAZO)
– 3 oz. heavy cream
– 2 oz. Finlandia Mango Vodka

Directions:
In a small saucepan, bring water, dried mango, and turbinado just to a boil. Remove from heat, add tea bags, cover, and let mixture steep for 20 minutes. Strain chai mixture into a small pitcher and chill until cold (about an hour). Discard tea bags and mango.

Rim 2 martini glasses with turbinado sugar. Add cream and vodka to pitcher with chilled chai and stir. Pour mixture into martini glasses.

TUKAANI.

As the name suggests, the tucan’s bill was the inspiration behind the design and creation of TUKAANI. The sterling silver TUKAANI is a hand made eating device for Asian food that may be held as traditional chopsticks. The taut movement allows a steady grip in the hand while the curl at the end provides easy delivery to the mouth. The loop also allows easier hanging, storage and display.

But it Pays the Bills.

Sorry for the low postage today – I had a dentist appointment this morning (no cavities!) and have been playing catch-up at work all day. Hope you’re having a lovely Wednesday! Mine is rainy and dreary which is fine by me.

The Daily Eat: Lemony Potato Salad.

This Lemony Potato Salad is another great option for those anti-mayo eaters out there. I think I’d probably mess around with the recipe a bit – omitting the capers and maybe adding some celery among other things.

Do you like alternative potato salad recipes or prefer the tried and true mustard and mayonnaise versions?
