A New Love: Jacques Pépin's Fast Food
Talking Him Into It - Feeding The Guy
Another Change, and Two Summer Shortcakes
« Gifts for Baby | Main | Appointment Book (My Way) »
I was flipping through Domino at the bookstore today (I know, I know, I should get a subscription) when I found an idea that made me want to jump up and down with excitement: one of their brilliant editors suggests using beakers, the kind you find in chemist's labs, as vases. I have a few very good friends who are chemists and biologists (or, more to the point, chemistry, biology, and bio-chem PhD candidates) and the majority are men. These men are not the kind who have stylish, minimalist vases from downtown galleries or the MoMA design store, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have something to put flowers in when someone comes over for dinner, and beakers would be perfect (and, for them, very cheap). They would also make fantastic jars to keep pencils or kitchen utensils in, or you could even fill a few with pebbles, leaves, sea glass, or sand and line them up on a mantle.

I think another nice chemistry vase would be an erlenmeyer flask, they are tapered so would be a better vase shape...
