My two thoughts this weekend:
1. Nicole and I were at The Grove, and more specifically Sur La Table Saturday night browsing through cooking materials galore, and just being in awe of all the glorious products. I mentioned to her how at that moment I really wanted to find my dude and get married just so I would have a good excuse to buy two cart-loads of these wonderful things. And then I tossed in that I also wanted a kid for the themed plate and serving sets. I am a terrible person.
2. Say you're eating with friends/family at a restaurant that specializes and is known for their seafood, and I'll use the restaurant Providence in Los Angeles as an example. Why do people give you grief for ordering something from the menu that isn't their specialty item? "Oh, you're ordering steak? [Pause] From a place that is known for their seafood? Okaayy..." Which is then followed by the ubiquitous eye roll. My thinking on this is: if it's being offered on the menu, I can freaking order it. (Nicole didn't do this. It came to me randomly and I am in no way implicating her on this. Thank you.)

Two things:
1) Thanks for telling the world that we spent our Saturday night geeking out over cookware. We did see "Once"! And we ate tapas at Cobras and Matadors! We're far hipper than you're making us seem.
2) I would never push you to order something at a restaurant, but I do see the validity of ordering a restaurant's specialty. I learned that from my mom, who always orders what a restaurant is famous for, and who invariably gets the best dish at the table.
