Complimentary Cereal Bowls

I don’t know about you guys, but the last time my cereal bowl talked to me, it wasn’t really a positive experience. Lets just say it told me to “kill” some “people,” and “I” “did it.”

Luckily, this line of complimentary cereal bowls, which is so close to a pun without actually being one, give the opposite message, and perhaps one that you need to hear early in the morning: you’re awesome! Each bowl is individually painted, and completely dishwasher safe, microwave safe, and lead free, unless you’re eating a big bowl of Frosted Lead Flakes.

Check out the rest of the line below, including Diva, Goddess, and Adore-a-Bowl. Now THAT’S a pun:

Ceramic Comfort

Is there anything more comforting that a grilled cheese sandwich, and a bowl of tomato soup? Not to get all sappy, but if it’s a rainy day out, or if I’m feeling sad, there’s nothing else I want that a melty, delicious sandwich, and a bowl of soup to dip it in.

I may have lost some of you with that last part, but really, dip your grilled cheese in tomato sauce.

After the jump, more comforty goodness...

Do-It-Yourself: Bowls

[$223, Rose and Radish]

Back in elementary school, I briefly dabbled in needlepoint. But those beginner-level kits never had quite the same beauty and sense-of-purpose about them as these bowls, which are made out of glazed white porcelain and come with an embroidery pattern, yarn, and a needle. Finally, an art project that mom would be proud to keep on display.

about the blogger

Wendy Atterberry is a recent transplant to New York City via Chicago. You can often find her at some karaoke dive bar singing her repertoire, which includes "Midnight Train to Georgia," "Daniel," and most recently, "Sweet Dreams."

Alex Zalben is a writer living in New York City. He's written for McSweeney's, Modern Humorist and PulpSecret.com. As one-fifth of the sketch comedy group Elephant Larry, he has been written up in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and pretty much every other major publication. Their blog was named one of PC Magazine's Top Blogs for 2007, and they recently won an ECNY Award for their viral short, "Minesweeper: The Movie." Alex did not know love until he bought his first Mac.

Steph Auteri is a freelance just-about-everything, with a special fondness for home goods she can't afford. She has been published in Publishers Weekly, New York Press and Nerve. She runs the blog selfhelpme.net, and her work can be found at stephiswrite.com.
