I can't deny wandering around Williams Sonoma and thinking I'd like to take a few non-essential appliances home, but this was too funny not to share.

    Ohmygod, I do not have the snowflakes cakelet pan! What the hell? I could have been eating seasonally shaped cakelets all this time, instead of entire seasonally shaped cakes! 
    Thousands of calories could have been avoided. I think.

    By the way, it's worth noting that W-S founder Chuck Williams grew up dirt-poor and fatherless, and was forced to work on a date farm (literally named Sniffs) all through high school. Wikipedia says he also served in World War II as a plane mechanic. He is a legitimately self-made man and a fantastic American success story. So I like to imagine that he created this catalog just to fuck with rich trust-fund babies. "Tell them it's made in Portugal. They'll shit their dicks for Portuguese cotton."
    That was my favorite quote....so far at least.

    The Williams-Sonoma catalog will not rest until you need a separate pot for every single goddamn thing you make. QUICK! SOMEONE FETCH ME THE GOAT CHEESE FRITATTA SKILLET! No, not the Western Frittata skillet, you MORON!

    This quote.  This article is making these last 48 minutes at my desk so much more bearable.

    This is my favorite holiday tradition now. I'm so glad you shared... I didn't know the 2014 edition was out!!!! I literally laugh until my eyes tear up each year.... FI thinks I'm nuts.
    My favorite part: Hey, you know what? I'm selling my own cronut knockoff, too. Pay me $80, and I'll come to your house with a bag of flour, and then I'll kick you in the shins. The kick is gluten-free.

    So the mushroom log so made me think of my BFF. He grew mushrooms in college... Just not the kind people usually eat.

    Secret confession. . . . MIL works at a Williams Sonoma outlet.  Discount on top of discount.  We literally have bags of WS stuff in our basement that just can't fit in the kitchen.  It's pathetic and unnecessary, but she is unstoppable!!!  She just keeps giving us stuff.  At her house there is a walk-in closet full of WS stuff she had to have.  It's endless.

    LOVE it. 

    Kinda reminds me of Catalog Living:

    Blog about Gary and Elaine, a fictional poster-couple for the absurdity of catalog photos, especially Pottery Barn's

    My love for WS is only rivaled by my love for the annual haters guide.

    I want that cakelet pan.

     Love it.








    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
