10 Things We're Doing Besides Keeping it 100

Dirtying one less dish thanks to the self-draining genius of this pasta pot.
Keeping backyard biters at bay with the least-offensive-looking electric mosquito trap that I could find—and, hey, it really works, too!
Finding a solution replacement for the maddeningly difficult-to-use tops that come with otherwise-beautiful Weck jars: wood lids!
Spending an entire weekend talking about a cake because the Brooklyn Blackout from Little Cupcake Bakeshop is that good...and that reminiscent of eating raw brownie batter. (And, according to someone with more authority than me, one of the best in the country.)
