Leave it up to the Japanese to make a pair of scissors desirable.

Allex scissors are both beautifully designed and fine in their craftsmanship. Forged from the single piece of stainless steel, the black version of these scissors are fluorine coated giving them unique resilience.

Starting out as a bit of research for some scissors turned into a favorite item for Adrian.

I have been so impressed with this pan that I will definitely replace my 12” pan with Hexclad and perhaps my pots too. I usually do not need my pots to be nonstick but my pots are very old and the handles are wearing out.

It is an expensive endeavor to replace all these but I will do it over time. And having great cookware is always worth the price. There are some things you just should not go cheap on—cookware is one of them.

I’m enjoying reading on my Kindle more than any physical book. Battery life is very refreshing having no need to charge frequently. As of writing this, I have only charged my Kindle Paperwhite once since getting it and while I have been reading daily for 30-60 minutes.

It is a nifty device and for anyone who reads, I would recommend Kindle or any e-reader. Once one has it, it is hard to go back to “traditional” books. Pick up a Kindle for $60 on Amazon and try it. If you already have one, perhaps you don’t need to upgrade but the Paperwhite, a bit more money, might be your next Kindle.

Bear is both simple and beautiful and serves one well. I prefer the minimalist because it hides the many distractions that can come along with productivity apps.
