Come Party With Me: Movie Club Meeting — Invite
Recently my friend Kirin told me about her decision to start a documentary film club.

Elvis Cutting Board: Love It or Hate It?
This King of cutting boards ($20) had me cracking up at first sight. I'm not an avid Elvis fan, but the whole concept — his eggplant hair, his bell pepper ear, his carrot-and-corn collar — makes me laugh. I love the vibrant colors, too.
