Wedding Prep Rablings
So a while back I was looking at stuff at Bed Bath & Beyond and I decided that I would keep a list of some of the more random things I found. I won't have time to go look for more, and unfortunetly, blogger just deleted half of my post (the first problem that I've had with them). Let's see. There was a real Banana Hammock, a Laser Culinary Thermometer, a Salt Pig, a $200 trash can, and a $130 pet stroller. Whenever I see cooking stuff, I ask myself three questions: Is this something that mom would buy? Is this something that Alton Brown would buy? Is this something that Ethan Varela would buy?

I was also thinking about wedding favors. We ended up getting some very good chocolates, but I had hoped for something more creative. Here are my ideas in no particular order. Do you have any good suggestions?

I also had the idea that for wedding favors we could give Sunny and Deannah a small budget and let them scour Savers and Value Village for 'unique' gifts. The guests would arrive to a wrapped present waiting for them and they could enjoy the evening by horse trading them for 'better' gifts.
