Things to do for February 03, 2011
The Weekender
Dead Flowers, 90-Second Espresso and Sriracha
The weekend is playing its own halftime show.
FLOWER POWER
The Latest in Dead Flowers
As you might remember, there’s an outfit that will deliver decomposing flowers to send that special message: “Stop calling.” But in honor of V-Day 2011, they’re rolling out a bouquet of 12 twisted carnations, accompanied by a postsurgical teddy bear. Don’t worry—he had it coming.
GYM DANDY
Self-Cleaning Gym Gear
Naturally, your gym gear never smells like anything but fresh daffodils and unicorn tears—but you probably know someone who could benefit from stink-defying towels, gym mats and Pilates rollers. The magic happens through silver ions and other science-ing, cooked up by ’70s-era Steelers running back Franco Harris. Naturally.
WITH A BULLET
A Pen with Power
If you’re going to write longhand, you want to do it with something every bit as archaic as, well, writing longhand—something like a pen made from a .308 Winchester bullet casing. This is what 007 would’ve used in 1873.
EYE OPENER
The Mini Espresso Maker
Finally, you can be 90 seconds away from espresso at all times. The aluminum stovetop brewer lets you fire up a double-shot at a moment’s notice—for those times when every caffeine-free second hurts. Also known as “morning.”
SAUCY
Cooking with Lots and Lots Sriracha
You’re familiar with the mysterious, rooster-covered bottle of hot sauce found at every Chinese restaurant in the world. This cookbook runs through 50 ways you can incorporate it into ceviche, mac and cheese and Bloody Marys. Also, you’ll learn about something called a kitchen.
