Blowing the Gift Card

I visited Attrezzi this afternoon to spend down the cool gift card that's been burning a hole in my purse since the nuptial event. I didn't have anything particular in mind when I went in. I asked myself, "what do I buy for the girl who has everything?"

The practical: a cooking fork and a mezzaluna chopper, both by Rösle and far east down east by Bruce deMustchine of Newburyport

The indulgences: I'd struggle with paying for this stuff with my own swag, but since it's a gift...Alaea Hawaiian red sea salt, smoked kosher salt, white truffle oil, and Vidalia onion cranberry pepper jelly from Lollipoptree (support local vendors!)

I rounded it all off with a handmade Belgian chocolate bar with pecans and ginger from Cacao in Kittery (road treat), and a 1 oz. Scharffen Berger Nibby Bar (for later).
